Unlike a framed print or a board on an easel, a fabric sign adds texture and warmth to your entrance display. Hung from a wooden arch, suspended from a beam, or draped over a stand, it becomes part of your decor rather than just a sign. The fabric moves softly with the space and pairs beautifully with floral arrangements, pampas grass, and greenery installations.<\/p>\n\n
Size<\/h3>\n
Paperlust fabric wedding signs come in one standard size: 2000mm H \u00d7 650mm W (78.7 \u00d7 25.6 inches)<\/strong>. This tall, narrow portrait format is specifically designed for hanging \u2014 it is proportioned to make a dramatic statement when draped from an arch, beam, or stand, without taking up excessive floor or wall space. It is the format you see everywhere on wedding Instagram right now.<\/p>\n\n When ordering a fabric sign from Paperlust, you can choose from three finishing options:<\/p>\n You can also choose an overlocked edge<\/strong> finish, which gives the fabric a neat, finished border. This is worth adding if the sign edges will be visible in photos or if you want a more polished result at close range.<\/p>\n\n The fabric is printed using high-resolution dye sublimation, which embeds the design into the material rather than sitting on top. The result is rich, vivid color that does not crack, peel, or fade, and the fabric retains a soft hand feel. It is suitable for both indoor ceremonies and sheltered outdoor settings.<\/p>\n\n Browse Paperlust fabric wedding sign designs here<\/a> and customize with your names, date, and preferred wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A wedding welcome sign is often the first piece of stationery your guests see on the day. It sets the tone before anyone reaches the ceremony, gives the entrance a finished, intentional look, and serves as a natural focal point for photos. Whether you choose a fabric banner hung from a wooden arch, a rigid board on an easel, or a modern acrylic panel, the wording you choose shapes how guests feel the moment they arrive.<\/p>\n\n This guide covers welcome sign wording examples for every style \u2014 classic, modern, relaxed, formal, and everything in between \u2014 plus what format and sizing to choose for your venue.<\/p>\n\n The essentials are simple: your names and your wedding date. Those two details anchor the sign and make it instantly personal, so guests know they’re in the right place. Everything else is optional, and keeping it optional is usually the right call.<\/p>\n\n From there, you can add a short quote, a tagline, or a gentle direction like “Please find your seat” or “Cocktail hour this way.” A single extra line is usually enough. The goal is to welcome guests, not to inform them of every schedule detail. Your programs, menus, and seating chart handle the logistics, so let the welcome sign be warm and simple.<\/p>\n\n Think about font hierarchy too. Your names should be the largest element on the sign, followed by the date, and then any secondary text like a quote or direction. This makes the sign readable at a glance and gives it a polished, designer look even on a modest budget.<\/p>\n\n A few things to avoid on a wedding welcome sign:<\/p>\n Here are 15 wording examples across five styles. Mix and match elements to suit your aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n The ceremony entrance sign greets guests before any vows are spoken. The tone here tends to be a little more reverent, though it can still have warmth and personality. Unlike the main reception welcome sign, ceremony signs often include a practical note like “Please be seated” or “Ceremony begins at 3:00 PM” to help guests know when and where to settle in. Here are examples organized by venue type.<\/p>\n\n For any unplugged ceremony, adding a simple line like “Please silence your phones and enjoy the moment” is a graceful touch. It can be woven into the ceremony welcome sign itself or displayed on a separate standalone sign near the entrance.<\/p>\n\n Reception signs serve a different purpose: they direct, delight, and set the party tone. Unlike the ceremony welcome sign, reception signs lean into celebration rather than reverence. You may have a single large welcome sign at the entrance, smaller signs near the bar and dance floor, or a combination of both. The key is to match the energy of the space and give guests just enough information to feel at ease and ready to have fun. Here are examples for each scenario.<\/p>\n\n Some of the most-shared welcome sign phrases guide guests to their seats while setting a warm, inclusive tone:<\/p>\n The welcome sign is just the start. A cohesive sign suite ties your whole wedding together and makes every corner of the venue feel intentional. When your signs all share the same typography, color palette, and paper stock, the effect is polished and effortless. Here are the signs worth adding to your collection:<\/p>\n\nFinishing Options<\/h3>\n
