What is the standard size for wedding signs?

Wedding signs come in many sizes, and the best choice depends on what the sign is for. A small table number or favour tag can be as small as a credit card. A welcome sign or seating chart usually needs to be much larger, often A2 or A1, so guests can read it from a distance.

Think about where the sign will stand. An outdoor sign at the entrance to a field may need to be bigger than an indoor sign on an easel in a hallway. Also consider how many people will gather around it. A table plan with 100 guests needs a larger surface than one for 20 guests.

A common approach is to use A3 for smaller directional signs, A2 for welcome boards and table plans, and A1 for large outdoor statements. But these are not rules. Many couples choose rectangular or square boards in custom sizes to fit their venue. The most important thing is legibility. If guests have to squint or crowd in, the sign is too small.

If you are unsure, ask your printer or stationer for advice. They can show you samples and help you judge the size in person. You can also test print a draft at home and place it where the sign will go.
