What are wedding welcome signs?

It's pretty much in the name, but wedding welcome signs are typically decorative signs displayed at the entrance of a wedding venue or ceremony to greet guests.

Often adorned with elegant calligraphy, perhaps flowers, or various other embellishments, the sign typically features the couple's names as well as the wedding date.

Welcome signs come in various sizes, shapes and styles, from elegant and traditional to modern and rustic, so you’re free to add your unique touch.

What size are wedding welcome signs?

At Peppermint Press, wedding welcome signs are always A1 size - specifically 594x841mm. This particular size is large enough for the text to stand right out, whilst it also isn’t too big that it takes away from your venue or the scenery.

At A1 size, your wedding sign is also the perfect size for guests as they take photos standing next to it. Any smaller than A1 and your sign might begin to look a little drowned out, and the text too small. All signs are printed on rigid 5mm foam board. 

When should I order a wedding welcome sign?

Wedding welcome signs with Peppermint Press should be completed at least five weeks in advance of when you need them at your venue. If you’re outside of Australia, then you should allow two extra weeks on top of this for shipping.

Unlike other elements of your wedding stationery, you’ll be able to have your sign made as early as you like, because the only details you’ll need are your names, the date and perhaps the venue of your wedding.

Allowing at least five weeks will ensure that no stressful situations arise. 

To what extent can my wedding welcome sign be personalised?

Looking for something that represents you as a couple? At Peppermint Press, you can have your wedding welcome sign tailored to your preferences. After choosing the collection you love, you are free to select the perfect colour scheme as well as the shape that suits you best. More wording and extra details can also be added.
