Which Size of Welcome Board Should You Choose? A Comparison of Seven Sizes from A1 to A4!

What Size Should a Welcome Board Be?

A welcome board is an essential decoration for the welcome space.

It can be said that it is the main item of the space, so we want to prepare a wonderful welcome board that has a strong presence.

Welcome boards can be ordered or handmade, but what you may be concerned about when preparing either way is the "size"...

The welcome board needs to be chosen in the perfect size depending on where it will be displayed, the easel, and the design.

However, since you cannot bring it and check it before actually preparing it, you can only look at posts by past brides from the same venue or imagine "this might be the right size" when visiting for meetings to decide on a purchase.

If the welcome board that arrives is unexpectedly too big or too small, you would want to avoid having to redo anything, so you'd want to steer clear of any mistakes...

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce images of actual welcome boards categorized by size!

Let's look at the larger sizes first ♡

Size of the Welcome Board ① A1 Size

First, the largest size, A1 size.

The dimensions are 594mm × 841mm (approximately 60cm × 84cm).

When displayed on a table, it looks like this. If you choose to display it vertically, pairing it with tall flowers or greens will enhance the balance and make it look stylish.

(IKEA's meal table is 62cm×45cm, so this is a bit larger than that ♡)

Comparing the sizes of A1 and A3 welcome boards illustrates a significant difference.

Although A3 also appears large, A1 is more than twice its size.

If you want to prepare an impactful welcome board, A1 is recommended ♡

Size of the Welcome Board ② B2

Next, we introduce the B2 size, which is about 10 centimeters smaller in both dimensions than A1.

The dimensions are 515mm × 728mm (approximately 51cm × 73cm).

Like A1, this is also quite a large size, making it a good choice for those who want the welcome board to stand out in the welcome space.

Size of the Welcome Board ③ A2 Size

Next is the A2 size, which is about 10 centimeters smaller.

The dimensions are 420mm × 594mm (approximately 42cm × 60cm).

This size fits perfectly on an easel, and it's impressive to look at from both afar and up close.

Many brides are ordering this size, so if you plan to decorate with an easel, this is probably the most standard size.

After the wedding, it seems like a size you can display at your home's entrance as well.

Size of the Welcome Board ④ B3

Next, we present the B3 size.

The dimensions are 364mm × 515mm (approximately 36cm × 51cm), with the longer side being the same length as the shorter side of B2.

This size has a moderate feel, making it look good arranged with smaller items like candles on the table.

A decoration with flowers in the back is also lovely ♡

Size of the Welcome Board ⑤ A3 Size

The familiar A3 size used in daily life, which is the same size as a marriage certificate!

The dimensions are 297mm × 420mm (approximately 30cm × 42cm).

If you want to decorate with flowers, the A3 size is neither too big nor too small, making it easy to create a balanced display.

By the way ♡

A photo holding a marriage certificate in the same A3 size also provides a clearer image of the dimensions ♡

Size of the Welcome Board ⑥ B4

The B4 size is just over 5 centimeters smaller than A3.

The dimensions are 257mm × 364mm (approximately 26cm × 36cm).

Although this is not a welcome board...

It's a photo that makes the size easier to understand ＊

Size of the Welcome Board ⑦ A4

The A4 size can be printed at home printers or convenience stores. It's the size of a standard clear file.

The dimensions are 210mm × 297mm (approximately 21cm × 30cm).

【Size Image】

With A4 size, various frames are available at variety shops and budget stores, expanding the display options.

Additionally, for items besides the welcome board, such as marriage certificates, love story boards, and thank you boards for parents' presentations, A4 is recommended as a good size.
