How do you write Welcome in bubble letters?

  1. Plan around W and M. WELCOME has two of the widest letters, W and M, near the ends. Give them one and a half slots each so the middle letters do not get squeezed.
  2. Round the W's points. Turn the W's bottom points into soft U shapes and its middle peak into a low bump. A pointy W looks spiky next to the round C and O.
  3. Tuck the C into the L. L leaves an empty corner above its foot. Slide the C into that space so it overlaps the foot slightly.
  4. Make C and O different. C and O sit side by side, so the difference has to be clear. Leave a wide mouth in the C and make the O a full, closed circle.
  5. Match the two E's. The E after W and the E at the end should match. Draw them as rounded blocks with two shallow notches.

Ideas for Welcome in bubble letters

  • Classroom door sign: WELCOME across the top with the teacher's name and grade below.
  • Back-to-school bulletin board: enlarge the word, print one letter per sheet and add student names.
  • Welcome home banner: for a family member coming back from a trip or deployment.
  • New baby or housewarming sign: "Welcome Baby" or "Welcome Home" on the door.
  • Party or event entrance: print the colored version and put it in a frame on an easel.

Colors and decorations for Welcome

A rainbow, one color per letter, is friendly and suits classrooms. Fall colors work for a porch in autumn, and pastels for a baby shower. Decorate with small flowers, stars, a sun over the O, or a pennant banner strung behind the word. For a front door sign, choose colors that stand out against the door.

Welcome in graffiti letters

The graffiti image uses Blockbuster letters, big and square with a deep extrude. Blockbusters fit WELCOME on a sign because they read from far away. Square off every corner, keep the letters the same height and run the extrude one way. See blockbusters next to other styles on the styles page.

Spelling a name instead? Every letter has its own page, from A in bubble letters to Z, and the printable bubble letters cover the whole alphabet.

Questions people ask

How do you make a WELCOME sign for a classroom door?

Print the outline here at full page size, or enlarge it so each letter is on its own sheet. Let students color one letter each, then tape the letters in a row across the top of the door. Add the teacher's name and class below. Laminating the letters helps them last the whole year.

How do you write Welcome Back or Welcome Home in bubble letters?

Put WELCOME on top and BACK or HOME on the second line, both in the same style. WELCOME has seven letters and BACK or HOME four, so make the second row a little taller to balance it. Type the phrase into the generator to get the same style for both lines.

How big should WELCOME be on a door?

A standard classroom door is about 36 inches wide. Letters about 4 inches wide and 5 to 6 inches tall fit WELCOME across it with a margin on each side. Measure the door, divide by seven and leave a little extra for the W and M, which are wider than the rest.
