Welcome signs are one of the first signs you see at a wedding, after the 'Parking' signs. You want to make sure your welcome sign is placed where people can see it after they park their vehicles and start walking towards the venue. The welcome sign should be large enough to be noticed with text that is easy to read. If you are on a budget, foamboard and gatorboard are two excellent choices. If the weather calls for a chance of rain, then you'll want to select a waterproof sign like PVC, aluminum or even acrylic. There are a couple of great choices when it comes to the types of stands that can hold your welcome sign. An easel is a great choice to prop up a welcome sign. Another good choice is a retractable banner stand which actually comes with a custom designed vinyl banner welcome sign installed.
