What should a wedding welcome sign say?+
Both names and the date, usually with a short line such as welcome to our wedding. Anything longer tends to go unread, because guests glance at the sign while arriving rather than stopping to study it.
What size should a wedding welcome sign be?+
Large formats are usual, since the sign is read from a distance and often photographed with guests in front of it. The size is normally chosen to fit the easel or frame the venue supplies.
Do we need an easel for a welcome sign?+
Most venues have one, but it is worth confirming in advance rather than discovering otherwise on the morning. Some couples hire or buy their own so the frame matches the rest of the styling.
Can a welcome sign be used outdoors?+
It can, though wind and rain are the practical limits. Outdoor placement usually needs a weighted easel, and a sheltered spot is safer for a printed sign than an exposed entrance.
When should a welcome sign be ordered?+
Once names, date and wording are settled, which is usually well before the rest of the on-the-day stationery. Nothing on it depends on final guest numbers, so it can be ordered early.
Should the welcome sign match our other wedding signs?+
It commonly does. The welcome sign, order of the day and directional signs are usually printed together in the same typeface and colours, so the day reads as one set rather than separate pieces.
