If you're a bride wondering, "Where can I buy an acrylic welcome board?" or "I want to try making one!", please refer to this♡
① Shape of the Acrylic Welcome Board
First, let's talk about the shape of the acrylic welcome board.
There are various shapes such as rectangle, round, and hexagon, so choose one that matches the atmosphere of the venue ♩
The horizontal rectangle is the most popular style*
When used vertically, it looks like this.
If you add a lot of text in a horizontal layout, it may look unbalanced, so it's better to use it vertically if you include long sentences*
A square gives a stylish image*
A round acrylic welcome board has a gentle and soft atmosphere ♡
The hexagon shape, resembling a turtle's shell, is a good omen representing "longevity" and "health"*
For couples who love the sea, how about a yacht shape? Creating an original shape that matches your wedding theme or hobbies could be wonderful too! ♡
② How to Display the Acrylic Welcome Board
The acrylic welcome board is stylish on its own, so there's no need to put it in a frame. Just leaning it against the table in the welcome space looks great*
It's common to lean the welcome board on an easel, but with acrylic, the easel might be too visible. (Unless the easel is stylish, perhaps...!)
I feel that if the easel is visible, the benefits of acrylic get diminished, so if you use one, I think it's good to paint the backside in a brush stroke style*
Hanging it with a copper stand is a trendy idea ♡ I want to place it at the entrance of the venue and have stylish photos taken with the acrylic welcome board in the foreground*
Here's an idea to hang it in a wooden frame*

Acrylic boards are said to also be sold at Daiso* The Daiso acrylic sheet is a 200 yen product, size A4.
