The first thing your guests see should feel like you. This large live-edge walnut welcome sign greets everyone at the entrance to your ceremony or reception with your names, your date, and a landscape that means something to you, all laser-engraved into a single slab of solid wood with its natural bark edges left intact.
The example shown features a Northeastern Pennsylvania mountain scene, engraved for a couple married in the Poconos. Yours can be any landscape or design you like — the mountains where you got engaged, a coastline, a forest, a favorite trail, a botanical border, or a clean classic layout with just your names. Tell us the place or the feeling and we design the scene around it.
Why You'll Love It
- Fully personalized. Your names, your date, and a background designed for you. No two are alike.
- Any landscape or design. Mountains, coast, forest, florals, or a simple elegant layout, whatever tells your story.
- Locally sourced walnut. Each slab comes from sawmills throughout northern Maryland, so the wood has a real origin, not a warehouse.
- Live-edge and one of a kind. Natural bark edges and unique grain mean your sign is unlike any other.
- Statement size. Large format (about 36" x 20"), made to stand on an easel at the entrance and be seen.
- Doubles as a guest book. Have guests sign the back, then hang it in your home, a keepsake that carries their handwriting for years.
- Keep it forever. After the wedding it becomes wall art for your home, a lasting piece of the day.
A Guest Book You'll Actually Keep
Set this sign at your entrance and invite guests to sign the back with a paint pen or fine marker. Instead of a guest book that lives in a drawer, you hang your welcome sign on the wall at home, your names and landscape on the front, everyone who celebrated with you on the back. One piece, two purposes, a lasting reminder of the day and the people who shared it.

How to Customize
After you order, send us your names, your date, and the landscape or design you'd like. We'll design a proof and send it to you for approval before we make anything. Names, dates, scenery, layout, fonts, whatever you need, we'll get it right before it touches the laser.
Production and Shipping
Laser-engraved and hand-finished, made to order in Maryland. Because each sign is designed from scratch around your details and cut from a natural live-edge slab, please allow extra time for proofing and approval before production. Order well ahead of your wedding date. An easel is not included.
