Custom Wedding Welcome Signs, Made in Melbourne

A wedding welcome sign is the first thing your guests see, so it sets the tone for the whole day and carries the look of your invitations into the venue.

Welcome signs from Event Signs are custom-designed, printed and cut in-house in Melbourne on acrylic, mirror acrylic or 3mm–5mm PVC, in any shape, and shipped Australia-wide. Event Signs has delivered 10,000+ event jobs since 2014. Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days to dispatch from artwork approval.

Printed in-house, not outsourced

Most welcome signs sold online are designed by a studio and printed elsewhere. Ours aren't. Your sign is designed, printed, cut to shape and finished under one roof in Melbourne, by the same team, every time. The colour you approve is the colour that prints, and if you need it fast, there is no third party in the way.

Choose your material

What size should a welcome sign be?

As a guide, a freestanding welcome sign on an easel is usually around A1 (about 60 × 90 cm) so it reads from a distance without crowding the entrance. For large venues or long driveways, size up to A0 or a custom dimension. We advise the right size for your wording when we quote.

What a welcome sign costs

Guide pricing rather than a fixed list, because size, material and shape all move it. An A1 welcome sign — about 60 × 90cm, and the size most people order — generally runs from $50 to $200 inc GST. PVC foam board sits at the lower end; acrylic and mirror acrylic sit higher, and a shape cut to a custom outline costs more than a rectangle. Send your size, wording and material and we will quote it exactly.

Welcome signs for events, not just weddings

The same sign does the same job at a milestone birthday, a corporate function, a product launch or a christening — only the wording and the styling change. Event welcome signs are usually A1 or A0 on an easel, printed on acrylic or PVC and cut to whatever shape you want. If you are printing for a branded event we can hold the same colours across the welcome sign, the banners and the floor graphics so the whole room reads as one piece.

Welcome sign printing, done in-house

Welcome sign printing here means the artwork, the print, the cut and the finishing all happen in the one building. Nothing is sent to a trade printer and returned. That is why the proof you approve matches what arrives, and why a change on Tuesday afternoon is usually still fine for a Saturday event.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a custom welcome sign cost in Melbourne?
Custom welcome signs from Event Signs are priced by size, material and finish. Mirror acrylic costs more than PVC foam board. Request a quote for exact pricing.
What material is best for a wedding welcome sign?
Mirror acrylic suits glamorous and modern weddings, frosted or clear acrylic gives a soft premium look, and 3mm to 5mm PVC foam board is a durable, cost-effective choice for full-colour designs. Event Signs prints all three in-house in Melbourne.
What size should a wedding welcome sign be?
A standard freestanding welcome sign is about A1 (60 x 90 cm), which is readable from a distance. For large venues or long entrances, A0 or a custom size works better.
Do you ship welcome signs outside Melbourne?
Yes. Event Signs is based in Melbourne and ships custom welcome signs Australia-wide.
Can you match my invitations or theme?
Yes. We match your colours, fonts and shape so your welcome sign ties in with your invitations and styling.
What should a wedding welcome sign say?
The two names and the date is enough, and the most common format is a short welcome line, both names, and the date underneath. Anything longer competes with itself at a distance. If the sign is doing a second job, such as pointing guests toward the ceremony or asking for an unplugged ceremony, that reads better as a separate smaller sign than as extra lines on the welcome sign. Send us the wording and we will set it so the names carry the weight.
Where should a welcome sign go, and what size?
At the first point a guest has to make a decision, which is usually the entrance or the top of a driveway rather than inside the room. Size follows the reading distance, not the room size. A long winery or property driveway means the sign is read from twenty metres or more, so A0 or a custom size earns its cost. In a hotel foyer or a smaller function room A1 is usually plenty, and A0 will crowd the space. Marquees and barns almost always need a freestanding easel, and many function rooms will not allow anything fixed to a wall, so check with your venue before settling on a format.
