Is 18x24 big enough for a wedding welcome sign?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Yes, 18x24 inches is big enough for a wedding welcome sign, especially for indoor or smaller venues. For outdoor or larger spaces, consider a bigger size so guests can read it from a distance.

An 18x24 inch welcome sign works well for most weddings. It is a good size for an easel near the entrance, on a table, or by a doorway. Guests will see it clearly when they are close, which is usually the case as they arrive.

If your venue has a long driveway, a wide lawn, or a grand entrance, you may want something larger, such as 24x36 inches or a full-size board. The key is legibility. Choose a bold font and keep the text short. A simple "Welcome to the wedding of..." with your names and date is all you need.

Think about where the sign will sit. Indoors, 18x24 is often perfect. Outdoors, wind and distance can make it harder to read. You can always prop it higher on a stand or place it closer to where guests walk. Test it from a few steps back to make sure it works for your space.
