Welcome Sign?

Unnecessary expense. Do you want one and can afford one? Then go for it. Otherwise, spend your hard earned money somewhere else!
(We're having one though lol)

I'm not sure either. I'm doing one, but only because a friend does calligraphy and is just starting out. Our sign is to be basically advertising for her and a gift for us. I got the frame at dollar tree, and made a background of cardstock and then I'm. Going to add the sign that says "welcome to our beginning" in there.

I definitely don't think it's neccessary, it's a cute accessory if you can swing it but it's just gonna be one little add on, won't make a difference to the actually wedding or overall look. But then again, I'm going super basic for my wedding, it's at a beautiful park with great mountain views so I'm just doing a single centerpiece on each table, maybe an arch. If you think it's gonna look kinda empty without a welcome sign id say go for it!

Thanks! I don't think it will make a huge difference but our ceremony is outdoors and I guess itll be nice for guests to walk up and see that

What size is yours going to be? I'm thinking about the really big ones that are displayed on easels! And where are people getting these easels from anyway??

Not necessary unless you think guests might not be confused about where to go. We actually just found a large picture ($10) and easel ($6) from a thrift store. We spray painted the frame and will have something printed from OfficeMax or somewhere or just draw something up ourselves.

View Quoted Comment Ok cool...I need to check out thrift stores and see what I can find! Thanks!

I dont think it is necessary. But if you want to have one without a lot of expense, you can make one yourself. There are lots of ideas on pintrest.

Definitely not necessary but is a nice touch. I chose not to add any words related to "wedding" to my welcome sign so that way I could use it in my entryway after the wedding.

We’re only investing in one because we both feel very strongly about people having their phones put away and we want to remind them again! If something like that is important to you, then I’d recommend it.

I was going to do one but now I'm 2 days away and running out if time lol not such a big deal, we have to set so much before our honeymoon as we run our own company and have 3 babies 2 and under lol I stopped tryong to do the little details and started just making sure the big details were set and the welcome welcome sign is not so needed I think

Mine comes with the venue . I probably wouldn't have one otherwise.

I am having one.... I made it myself and printed it at OfficeMax - cost around $23 (color poster with foam core mounting). i waited until they had a sale on printing.

Not necessary at all! But we decided to do one and it just says Welcome with our names and wedding date. It's one of the few decorations that we'll be able to hang in our house for years to come afterwards without being so clearly wedding related so we went for it. For the same reason, we also had a wooden sign that says "Wet your whistle" made for the bar. To us they'll always be small touches in our home that remind of us with our day!

Unnecessary expense in my opinion unless you can make your own. I was going to make one from a pallet because what are you going to do with it after the wedding? If you make a cheap one, it's not a hard loss if you get rid of it.

Definitely not necessary. We are having one but only because it is very easy to drive passed our venue and have to turn around. Hopefully it will not be windy or raining or my plan won't work, but we will have a sign for our guests at the entrance to the farm with white balloons to get their attention.

You could definitely do without one, or go for a DIY look. Target has some cute chalkboards that are fairly inexpensive. My local Target had a hanging chalkboard in the dollar section with other wedding supplies. I can't find it's link, but it had a space for your wedding hashtag as well. These are similar ones for inspiration!

Easel style

Hanging

It is nor mandatory and not everyone cares about signs (I am so guilty of it, usually I read none of the signs of weddings I am invited to, the only one I care about is the one for table assignments). We had a DW and welcome bags so our "welcome & thank you for coming" was in a note we attached to each guest's bag. I did not feel the need to add a large sign to welcome everyone again.

Totally unnecessary.
