How much is a welcome sign for a wedding?

Short answer

A welcome sign costs whatever you choose to spend, from a few pounds for a DIY version to a few hundred for a professionally made one. There is no fixed price, so set a budget that suits you and compare options.

The cost of a wedding welcome sign depends entirely on the size, material, design and whether you make it yourself or buy it ready-made. A simple chalkboard or acrylic sign from a craft shop can be very affordable, while a large, hand-painted wooden board from a professional sign maker will cost more. You can also hire signs from wedding suppliers, which often works out cheaper than buying new if you only need it for one day.

Think about what the sign needs to do. A small sign just saying welcome can be simple, but a larger board with your names, date and a message will take more time and materials. If you are on a tight budget, a DIY sign using items you already own, like a mirror, a frame or a piece of wood, can look lovely for very little money.

Remember that prices vary across the UK and between suppliers, so always ask for a quote before committing. You can also repurpose the sign after the wedding as a keepsake or home decoration, which adds value. Whatever you choose, focus on what feels right for your style and budget, not on keeping up with trends.
