These are starting points, not fixed formulas. The linen banners in our Signs and banners collection can be personalized with names, a date, a location or custom wording. On Sewadora, choose a design and select Personalize on Etsy. Etsy opens the listing where you choose a size and enter the wording in its personalization field.

What to include—and what to keep separate

Start with the couple’s names and wedding date: those details identify the celebration. A venue or city can help make the message feel specific, but it is optional. If you add a greeting, keep it to one short line so the names and date remain easy to scan. A welcome banner does not need to carry the full schedule, directions, menu and every note for guests. Put those details on another sign or invitation if you need them.

Use the exact spelling, punctuation and date format you want printed. Before placing the Etsy order, review the text in the personalization field and check every name and date once more. Follow the instructions shown on the selected listing.

Check each detail before sending it

Read the wording back exactly as you expect to see it. Check the order of the names, choose either an ampersand or the word “and”, and keep the date in one format. If you add a venue or custom line, verify its spelling and decide whether it belongs on the welcome sign. A short greeting and names may be all you need; a detailed schedule or directions can go on a separate sign.

• Names: confirm spelling, order and punctuation.
• Date: confirm the day, month and year, then use one format.
• Optional line: check the venue or wording you want printed.
• Product: check the Etsy size selection and the hanging details for that design.

Match the wording to the banner you choose

The available linen banners offer four sizes—12 × 40, 15 × 50, 20 × 63 and 24 × 75 inches. Measure the space where you plan to display the sign, then compare those dimensions with the size choices shown on Etsy.

• The boho welcome banner has two hooks fitted to the upper back corners.
• The floral garden banner has no hanging hardware or accessories included.
• The red-lettered La Dolce Vita banner has illustrated cocktail details; it includes no hanging hardware or styling accessories.

Choose a design, open Personalize on Etsy, then choose the size and enter the wording in Etsy’s field. Check the spelling before ordering. The category chooser compares all five designs and their product-specific hardware details if you are still deciding which banner fits your celebration.
