Wedding Welcome Signs - Elle Bee Design

Wedding Welcome Signs

Perfect for welcoming guests to your big day and / or evening reception, our wedding welcome signs convey the style of your wedding to guests and compliment the other elements of your theme.

We print directly onto 5mm-10mm foamex and luxury 3mm acrylic in our studio with our UV printer for A2-sized boards, with A1 boards being professionally-printed externally.

Other options include printing in a choice of ink colours for foamex boards and over 20 shades of acrylic, too.

We also include the option of 6mm hanging holes if making use of a venue or stylist's hanging frame.

If foamex and acrylic isn't your thing and you'd prefer fabric then you'll find our fabric welcome signs here.

Wedding Welcome Signs - Information

What sizes of welcome sign do you offer?

Our welcome signs are provided in either an A2 (420mm x 594mm) or A1 (594mm x 841mm) size.

A2 boards are printed internally using our UV printer for both foamex and acrylic, A1 boards (foamex only) are printed externally.

How can I be sure I'm picking the right colour?

If you're choosing acrylic then you have the option of buying sample pieces - head to our sample page here to do this.

For foamex boards colour is solely generated using ink as foamex is a pure white material and all colours shown should be viewed as approximate.

A very important note is that A2 boards and A1 boards are printed in different locations on different printers, so if you choose the same colour and mix sizes between multiple signs, they will likely not be an exact match.

In which case if colour is critical to you we'd strongly recommend choosing white and accessorising instead.

Do you offer double-sided printing?

Not as standard. If you do need double-sided printing as a custom order then please contact us for a quote.

Can I have a custom shape?

We do have the ability to have foamex cut to shape such as arched or wavy, with the option of laser cutting acrylic too. If you need this please contact us for more details.

How can I include a custom phrase?

Our designs are very flexible and adjustments can be made in proofing after your order is placed.

Some of our welcome signs already have phrases that can easily be replaced with your own choice. But if the design you choose doesn't have this then we'll easily be able to include it for you.

I want a themed welcome sign, can you help?

This will honestly depend on the theme you're looking to incorporate, as we can work on a bespoke basis if needed.

One thing we won't do is touch copyright material, such as Harry Potter, Disney, Marvel, etc.

How will I display a welcome sign at my venue?

In most cases an easel will be perfect for displaying your sign and we’ve chosen thick materials to ensure the sign doesn’t bow when added to an easel at a larger size.

All signs also have the option for holes to be added in the top corners to provide you with the option of hanging from a decorative frame.

How long does a welcome sign take?

It’s likely that your welcome sign will be part of a larger order for multiple stationery and signage items; in which case we’d suggest placing your order 6-8 weeks before your wedding date so we can proof all items before approval.

If you’re ordering a welcome sign alone then you will receive the board within 1-2 weeks of proofing approval and, as proofing is limited with a welcome sign, that stage of the process is normally concluded very quickly.

How are welcome signs shipped?

Welcome signs are sent via a tracked courier service in rigid, protective packaging. This will be sent separately to other stationery items so if you have smaller items as well you can expect two consignments.

You also have the option to collect from our studio if preferred.

What is Foamex and is it the same as Cardstock?

Foamex refers to a branded foamed PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheet material that is valued for being both lightweight and rigid, while also offering strong durability. Its surface is slightly textured and non-porous, which makes it particularly well-suited for processes such as printing, cutting, and various forms of fabrication, including wedding signage. Due to the slight texture of foamex, any printed elements have a different print consistency to that of cardstock.

Foamex is not cardstock and is available in white as standard. Colour can be added by way of ink, however as noted in our Terms and Conditions, exact replication of colour is not possible. If colour is important, we recommend opting for a white board with black text.
