Store-bought welcome hanging signs are so outdated and ordinary. Instead, why not spend some quality family time and explore different ideas for DIY signs that you can make for a fraction of the price with things that are lying around your house. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Seasonal welcome hanging signs
Liven up your front door porch area with a welcome sign that you can switch up and replace with each passing season. Unleash your creativity and design one using nothing but a stump of wood and some acrylic paint. Sunflowers would be an ideal choice for your summer sign, and you can switch to a vibrant flower patch design in the monsoon season. Winters may be cold, but your sign doesn’t have to be, you can paint some English Primrose and the Winter Jasmine, a perfect combination to match your Christmas wreath and décor.
Chiseled welcome sign
If you prefer etching over painting, then we have got the perfect DIY welcome hanging sign idea for your front door. All you need is a stone slab (the choice is yours) and some etching tools to chisel and carve out a nice homemade sign. You can even experiment with fonts and floral patterns on paper first and then replicate the design on the slab. The best part, this one won’t take a beating in extreme weather conditions; it will add a certain rustic English manor feel to your home as well. Mix and match stone slabs if you want to get more creative with your designs.
Canvas quote signs
If you would like to quote something from the Holy Bible to bless your lovely house, why not make a canvas sign of your favorite passage? For example, Joshua 24:15 states “But as for me and my household, we will serve the lord,” this would be perfect for your next DIY sign. Or you can even quote your favorite authors and update the canvas regularly just to keep things interesting. Sounds like a fun DIY activity for the family to explore over a long weekend, right?
Thought of the day welcome hanging signs
Welcome your friends, family, and guests with open arms and perhaps an enlightening notion with this simple whiteboard welcome sign. This is a nice opportunity for you to showcase your calligraphy skills and quote your absolute favorite thought of the day. If you want a more rustic feel to the whole sign, you can fashion a chalkboard sign for the same purpose. We leave the aesthetics up to you but this also sounds like a fun task for each family member to chip in and write their thoughts of the day.
When you chalk out the important details for the wedding decor, it is essential to ensure that it looks welcoming, chic, and cohesive to the overall theme. The welcome sign is the first thing your guests will lay their eyes on, so pick a classy, clear, and impressive design. Here are some fun ideas to consider when looking for welcome signs for your big day:
You want your home to reflect who you are. Every element in your house should have an essence of your personality and be so descriptive that whenever someone looks at it, they’re reminded of you. The same goes for your front door as it has to bear the added responsibility of being the face of your house. Fortunately, it isn’t that difficult; all you need is a cool welcome hanging sign.
They can be hung up on the front door and can be customized to display the message you want. They come in various sizes and designs, giving you the freedom to really own your welcome sign. Check out some of our favorite welcome signs that you can choose from.
‘Welcome to the Porch’ sign
This one’s a classic! Hang this on your front door and get ready for an eager crowd. To make it even better, write a short message beneath ‘Welcome to the Porch,’ something that’ll really set the tone for the kind of occasion you’re hosting. Alternatively, you can also write some proverb that you believe in, but that works well only if the welcome sign is going to stay permanently on your front door.
Latitude and longitude coordinates sign
We promise those numbers won’t look as boring as they sounded in high school. In fact, latitude and longitude coordinate signs are among the most creative welcome signs that you can get for your house.

Welcome WiFi password sign
Your house or party could be awesome, but people know they’ll eventually get bored. So why not take care of it from the get-go by hanging a welcome sign that reads ‘The WiFi password is _____’. It shows flavor and might make your party a real success, but remember to remove the sign as soon as the guests leave.
