24 Wedding Welcome Sign Ideas By Theme (Rustic, Vintage, Modern and More)
Note: This is a sponsored post thanks to our friends at Minted.com. We found some fab wedding signs that you’ll want to use to welcome your guests in style.
What’s the best part of your wedding day? I suspect the answer to that one is different from person to person, but it’s probably not a stretch to assume that one of the best parts of a wedding is celebrating the new union with our favorite people.
There are plenty of details to pamper our guests, from fun favors to fancy wedding signs that’ll make them feel like the VIPs they are! Since we love nothing more than shopping for all things wedding, we frequently write about these small but meaningful details.
Wedding signs are one of those details that make more of an impact than you might think. After all, you’ll be very busy getting ready, so your sign will be your guests’ official welcome to your wedding ceremony!
Chic & Modern Wedding Welcome Signs

Creative Wedding Sign Display Options
by Minted
So you’ve picked the perfect wedding sign to welcome your guests to the biggest day of your life (so far). It matches perfectly with the decor, your theme, and your style. You get tons of compliments on it all night.
Aaaaand it’s lying on a table or tacked to a wall somewhere.
Or on the other hand, many choose to get almost too creative with this part. (Like “hanging from a tractor” or “on the front of an aquarium” kind of creative.)
See why it’s essential to pay just as much attention to how the sign will be displayed?
We believe that if you get too crazy with it, people will focus on the display more than the sign!
Minted offers quite a few tasteful options that blend seamlessly into the background so you can put the spotlight on the sign. There, you’ll find crisp easels and hanging bars, framing choices with clean lines, romantic ribbon hangers, and more. Check them out. We guarantee you’ll find the perfect mate for your wedding welcome sign.
Wedding Sign FAQ
Your wedding sign should go in the doorway, corridor, hallway, etc., leading to the ceremony room. It should be prominent, but keep in mind, if you choose the right sign, it’ll pop on its own. No need to put it somewhere awkward in the name of visibility.
As we’ve demonstrated in our list, wedding welcome signs can be made from just about anything. Wood, acrylic, poster board, foam board, etc. We do suggest, however, that you keep it simple. Again, you don’t want to detract from the rest of your decor.
Welcome signs can be free (DIY is always an option), or you can shell out $10 for a download and print it yourself. You can also spend a little more on a pre-printed sign. Wooden and acrylic wedding welcome signs are the priciest, ranging anywhere from $20 to over $100.
Needless to say, your wedding sign should be proportionate to the rest of your decor! If you’ve featured huge floral displays around the room, a more prominent welcome sign displayed on an easel or hanging bar is appropriate. A table sign featured in a beautiful frame will work just fine for a smaller venue or with simpler decor touches.
This is an issue many brides and grooms run into when the party’s over. The truth is, many people choose to throw them out. But we say DON’T DO IT!
As we’ve pointed out already, your wedding sign can be a great multitasker. Have your guests sign it instead of a separate wedding guest book, or use it as a medium for displaying your wedding pictures. Either way, it can make for an excellent keepsake.
If you don’t want to do that, consider donating it to another bride-to-be. Or sell it secondhand. Either way, a quick Google search will reveal plenty of buy/sell/trade wedding message boards out there where you can do just that.
