What are the standard sizes for a wedding welcome board?

When you look for a wedding welcome board, you will find a few standard sizes that most printers and suppliers offer. The smallest common size is 45 by 60 centimetres, which suits a cosy indoor setting or a tabletop display. It is easy to carry and does not take up much room.

The most widely used standard size is 60 by 90 centimetres. This works for almost any venue, from a village hall to a hotel function room. It is large enough to read from a few metres away, but not so big that it dominates the entrance. You can fit your names, the date, and a short greeting comfortably.

For larger venues or outdoor weddings, 75 by 110 centimetres is a good step up. It gives you more space for a longer message, a small illustration, or a directional arrow. Some suppliers also offer 90 by 120 centimetres, which is ideal for grand entrances or if you want a real statement piece.

Bear in mind that these are typical sizes, not strict rules. You can always ask for a custom size to fit your exact space. Before you order, measure the area where the board will stand, including the height of the easel. Make sure there is enough clearance for doors and that the board won't block the flow of guests. A well-sized welcome board sets the tone for the whole day.
