How Big Should a Wedding Welcome Sign Be?
In essence, the size can be tailored to your preferences. An A2 size, comparable to 18”x24”, offers a noticeable presence without overshadowing an intimate setting. On the other hand, an A1 size, approximately 24”x36”, suits an average-sized wedding well.
Where to Display Your Welcome Sign?
Typically, the ideal location for your welcome sign is at the ceremony entrance, ensuring that your guests can easily spot it and appreciate its charm. You can then use it again at the reception entrance if that will be held at a different venue. Use an easel or freestanding frame for easy positioning.
Craft a Heartfelt Welcome with These Phrases
Selecting the right words for your welcome sign is crucial to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your wedding. Choose a phrase that matches your wedding’s style and your personal preferences. You can include your names, the wedding date, or a heartfelt thank you message to your guests. If you have a particular colour scheme, integrate it into your sign. Remember, your welcome sign is one of the first things guests will see, so it should reflect your love and extend a heartfelt welcome to your guests.
HERE ARE SOME WORDING IDEAS TO CONSIDER:
- “Welcome to the wedding of [bride’s name] and [groom’s name]"
- “Join us as we start this beautiful journey together.”
- “Today, two families become one. Welcome to our love story.”
- “The adventure begins here. Thank you for being with us.”
- “Our hearts are full of joy, and we’re thrilled you’re here to share it.”
- “Love is our greatest adventure. Welcome to our wedding day.”
- “With love and gratitude, we welcome you to our special day.”
- “Today, we say ‘I do’ with love in our hearts and smiles on our faces.”
- “As we start this new chapter, your presence means the world to us.”
- “Our love story continues, thanks to your presence.”
- “Together with our loved ones, we embrace the magic of this moment.”
