When Should You Order Your Wedding Welcome Sign?

Order your wedding welcome sign after the names, date, venue and overall visual style are confirmed. Leaving enough time for artwork checks, printing and delivery removes one more last-minute task from wedding week.

A practical ordering timeline

For most couples, ordering three to six weeks before the wedding is comfortable. If you are creating a full coordinated signage set, ordering earlier gives you time to compare colours and wording across every item.

Avoid waiting until the final few days, especially when nationwide delivery is required. Production schedules and couriers can be affected by weekends, public holidays and busy wedding periods.

What should be confirmed first?

• The exact spelling and order of both names
• The wedding date and preferred date format
• The venue and intended display location
• The required size: 40 × 60cm or 60 × 80cm
• The design style and colour palette
• Whether the venue provides an easel

When can you order earlier?

If all details are fixed, you can order well in advance and store the board flat in a clean, dry place. Keep it in protective packaging and do not place heavy objects on top.

What if details might change?

Wait until names, date and venue are final before submitting the order. Carefully review every personalised field; changing information after printing may require a replacement sign.

Collection or delivery

Free collection from Printmania in Carlow is useful for local couples and can remove courier time from the schedule. Nationwide delivery is available for customers elsewhere in Ireland. Choose the option that leaves a sensible buffer before the event.

Final checklist before ordering

Proofread the wording, choose the board size, confirm how it will be displayed and upload the correct final file if supplying your own design. Remember that the easel shown in photographs is not included.

Allow time for the design route you choose

A ready-made style is the simplest option: choose the floral, modern, dark, watercolour or colourful design you prefer and submit the correct names and date. If uploading your own artwork, allow extra time to export and proofread the final PDF, PNG, JPG or TIFF file. Do not upload an unfinished screenshot or editor link.
