What size?

Setting it up

Materials

Skip gloss lamination: it bounces flash into the lens. Print shops want a PDF at 300dpi with 3mm bleed.

The free wedding welcome sign takes your names, date and line and prints on a Tabloid sheet; choose Save as PDF for a print shop. A free Paper&Seal account unlocks the 18 x 24 and 24 x 36 poster sizes and the other design options.

Signs that go with it

• Find your seat sign above the seating chart.
• Closed for a private event sign for the street door.
• Cards and gifts and guest book signs for those tables.
• A blank sign for the bar menu, the order of the day, a thank you.

Same fonts and colours as your invitations, so it all looks like one set.

Final check

Print it two weeks ahead and read it from three metres. Names, date and line clear without leaning in? Done. If not, make them bigger and cut something.
