Welcome Reception Sign Boards for Events and Venues
Welcome Reception Sign Boards are designed to create a clear, polished and memorable first impression at entrances, reception areas and event spaces. Whether you need a printed welcome board for a wedding, engagement, birthday, baby shower, christening, funeral, mehndi, nikkah, graduation or corporate event, Printed Today gives you flexible options for material, size and display style.
A well-designed welcome board does more than greet guests. It helps confirm the event location, supports your theme, guides visitors towards the reception area and adds a professional finishing touch to your venue entrance.
You can order your board on its own or add a wooden easel for a complete freestanding display. This makes the product suitable for both simple venue signage and decorative event styling.
Printed Welcome Boards with Optional Wooden Easel
Printed Today gives you the choice to buy the board only or add a wooden easel during ordering. If your venue already has a stand, frame or display area, the board-only option keeps things simple. However, if you need a ready-to-place entrance feature, the wooden easel option creates a complete welcome sign display.
The easel option works especially well for hotel receptions, wedding venues, restaurants, halls, churches, party entrances, registration desks and event foyers. It also avoids the need for wall fixing, hanging points or extra installation.
Choose Your Reception Welcome Board Material
Every event has a different display requirement, so this product gives you four selectable board materials. Each option suits a different budget, location and presentation style.
Foamex PVC Board – 5mm | Smooth Rigid Signs
Foamex PVC Board is a strong all-round choice for smooth, rigid welcome boards. It is ideal for printed foam board displays, reception signs, wedding welcome boards, birthday welcome signs and event entrance boards where a clean professional finish is needed.
Correx Corrugated Board – 4mm | Budget Temporary Signs
Correx Corrugated Board is a lightweight and cost-effective choice for temporary welcome signage. It suits short-term events, budget reception boards and simple directional signs where affordability is important.
Aluminium Composite Board – 3mm | Premium Outdoor Signs
Aluminium Composite Board is the premium option for stronger welcome signs and outdoor venue displays. It is suitable for entrances, exposed areas and events where the board needs a more durable finish.
Soft Board – 5mm | Lightweight Indoor Displays
KT Soft Board is a lightweight indoor display option. It is easy to handle, simple to place on an easel and well suited to indoor receptions, baby showers, christenings, parties and temporary event displays.
Popular Sizes for Welcome Reception Signs
Choose from a practical range of sizes depending on your venue layout, viewing distance and artwork design. Smaller sizes work well for tabletop or compact easel displays, while larger boards create a stronger entrance feature.
- A3 – Small Tabletop Sign
- A2 – Small Easel Sign
- A1 – Popular Easel Sign
- 50x70cm – Classic Welcome Sign
- 60x80cm – Large Welcome Sign
- 60x90cm – Tall Easel Sign
- 70x100cm – Premium Large Sign
- 120x80cm – Extra Large Venue Board
- 120x90cm – Extra Large Display Board
- Custom Size – Made to your required dimensions
A1 welcome signs and A2 welcome signs are popular for easel displays. Larger boards such as 70x100cm, 120x80cm and 120x90cm are better suited to statement entrances, large venues and high-visibility reception areas.
Custom Size Welcome Reception Boards
If your display area needs specific dimensions, select the custom size option. This is useful for wide venue boards, tall entrance signs, branded event displays, photo boards or artwork layouts that do not fit a standard size.
Custom sizing gives you more control over the final presentation, especially when your design includes names, dates, venue details, schedules, logos, photos or decorative artwork.
Design Options for Your Welcome Board
You can provide your own artwork, request free design support or choose professional design services depending on how much help you need.
Upload Your Own Artwork
If your design is ready, upload it during checkout or email it after ordering. Large files over 64MB can be sent through Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or another file-sharing service. Our team checks supplied files before production to help confirm size, alignment, colour setup and bleed.
Request Free Design Support
If you do not have print-ready artwork, Printed Today can help prepare a simple welcome board design at no extra charge. Send your wording, preferred colours, names, dates, logos, photos and any reference ideas so the design team can create a suitable layout.
Professional Design Services
For more complex artwork, low-resolution file recreation, bespoke styling or brand-led event graphics, professional design support is available. Final artwork can be prepared in reusable digital formats such as AI, PSD or PDF where required.
Artwork Requirements for Best Print Results
To achieve a clean printed finish, your artwork should be supplied at the correct size with suitable resolution and bleed. These requirements help avoid stretching, trimming issues and poor print quality.

| File Size | Must match your selected board dimensions | Helps the design fit the selected welcome board without distortion |
| Bleed Area | 1.5 inches / 38.1mm on all sides | Prevents unwanted white edges after trimming and finishing |
| Resolution | 300 DPI at actual size | Keeps text, photos and graphics sharp when printed |
| File Formats | PDF, AI, PSD, EPS, PNG, JPEG, TIFF | Allows flexible artwork submission for different design setups |
| Colour Mode | CMYK preferred, RGB accepted | Supports more accurate colour reproduction in print |
