If you are getting married in the mountains, at a lodge, or anywhere near a trailhead, a
national park wedding sign sets the tone before your guests reach their seats.
It is instantly recognizable, a little playful, and it becomes a keepsake you can hang at home
after the wedding.
The project: a mountain wedding welcome sign
This sign was made for a summer wedding in the Utah mountains. The couple’s last name and
“Wedding” fill the dark upper panel in bold capitals, with “Welcome” in script above. The light
lower panel carries the venue town and the full date.
It was built in our painted finish, black and cream. Paint gives a clean, crisp contrast that
photographs beautifully, which matters for a sign that will appear in a lot of wedding photos.
Wording ideas for a wedding sign
- Welcome / [Last name] Wedding / Venue town, ST / Date, like the one above
- Now Entering / [First names] / Est. wedding date, which turns into a home
sign the day after - [Last name] National Park / Established / Date, a fun twist for park
lovers - Welcome to the adventure / [Names] / Date, for a couple who met on a trail
Using “Est.” and the wedding date means the sign works just as well over your front door for
the next fifty years.
Wedding sign sizes and where they go
| Size | Where it works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 18 x 11 in | Guest book table, bar, gift table | Read up close, easy to carry home |
| 23 x 15 in | On an easel at the entrance or aisle | The most popular wedding size |
| 34 x 22 in | Entrance, gate, or ceremony backdrop | Reads from a distance and in wide photos |
Order early
Every sign is made to order, and you will want time to approve the proof. Plan on ordering at
least four weeks before the wedding. If you are short on time, there is a faster shipping option
on the product page, but leaving a little breathing room is always better in the last month.
Frequently asked questions
Can you match our wedding colors?
Yes. Choose the painted finish and tell us your colors, and we will match them as closely as we
can in the proof.
Can it be used outside at the venue?
Yes. Add the exterior clear coat if it will be outdoors, especially overnight.
Can the arrowhead have something personal in it?
Yes. Pick an animal or outdoor icon, or send a simple silhouette, like your dog or the mountain
you got engaged on.
Does it make a good gift?
It is one of our favorite wedding and anniversary gifts. Send the couple’s names and date and we
will handle the rest.
See it before your big day
Send the names, the venue town and the date, and we will send a free digital
