Snag this hand lettered ‘welcome to our wedding’ SVG free download to use in your wedding signage and DIY wedding decorations! Simple to cut with a Cricut for handmade wedding signs + chalkboards.
This month I’m teaming up with some amazing SVG designers for a wedding themed collection of free SVG files. I have this hand lettered ‘welcome’ template I’ve used for door mats in the past and thought it would be fun to create a ‘Welcome to our Wedding’ SVG file for you!
I love hand lettering on chalkboards and they’re such a beautiful way to customize your wedding decor and are a lovely way to welcome guests to your special day. I’ve actually taught chalkboard lettering workshops and used to do wedding signage for local weddings but I know that isn’t up everyone’s alley.
So many of you want to prepare your own signage ahead of time and want to use a free template. I totally get it!
So today I’m sharing my hand lettered welcome sign with a modern text ‘to our wedding’ so you can get the look without any of the hand lettering yourself. It’s the perfect cut file for wedding welcome signs!
You can download this free svg file for your wedding decor and cut out a stencil or use it as a decal for your lettering. I have a couple tutorials for you included below.
You could also put this on directional signage near a parking lot or the entry to a reception building with some arrows or on top of a seating chart… I guess I’m saying… These free SVG cut files for Cricut or Silhouette will help you customize any wedding welcome signs you’re thinking of ;)

What can I use this Welcome to our Wedding SVG on?
There are so many different projects you can make. As promised, I’ve linked the similar projects tutorials I have if you’re looking for instructions on how to make that type of signage!
- Chalkboards
- Create chalkboard look with paint! This one is so great because it looks just like a chalkboard but without the risk of smudging! So it’s perfect for weddings where you want to prepare your signage well ahead of time and transport them without worry of wrecking your chalkboard lettering.
- Wood Signs
- You can stencil on wood easily with a paint marker as in this tutorial, just using the SVG stencil as a guide.
- Love shimmer and shine? You could use this tutorial and apply gold foil to a wooden sign.
- Lastly! I love to use iron on vinyl directly on wood. It’s less shiny than adhesive vinyl when applied and it’s pretty straight forward!
- Acrylic Signs
- Use the Welcome to our Wedding SVG file to make a clear acrylic sign with the lettering on front (like glass, but less likely to break!). You can leave the sign totally clear and rest it against some greenery or a simple backdrop so the lettering is clearly legible OR you can apply paint to the back of the acrylic sheet like in this tutorial.
- You could also apply this to a large poster frame and pop it back in the frame with a textured background like in this tutorial.
- Mirrors
- I don’t have a tutorial for this one, but you can use a mirror the exact same way as a chalkboard or acrylic would pair with this wedding sign SVG design. Choose either to stencil with a paint marker (easily scrapes off!) or use adhesive vinyl.
- Large Fabric Pennant
- You can follow this tutorial and create a large pennant hung from a stand to welcome guests to your wedding. Just use iron on vinyl! Imagine it with a point at the bottom of the pennant and large grommets at the top… so modern and fun!

HOW DO I UPLOAD A FREE Cut File TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE?
Once you’ve downloaded your free SVG file, it’s time to upload it to your cutting software. I use my Cricut to cut out my SVG files, but you could also use your Silhouette or other brand of cutting machine. To upload an SVG file to Cricut Design Space is super straight forward.
Open up Cricut Design Space and start a new project. In the left hand panel, select ‘upload’ and search for your file. You can add a name to your file at this point then upload it and insert it into your project. That’s it.
The SVG file has all the layers separated for you and Cricut reads all that information for you. In this file, the hand lettering and the font are separate layers. If you want them to cut as one piece, just select both in the layers panel and click ‘attatch’.
If you’re new to uploading your own images to Cricut and would like more information on the different file types you can cut with your Cricut, this video walks you through all the different types and how to upload them to Cricut Design Space to use them in your projects.
