Wedding banner printing in Pune usually means a small family of prints: a welcome board at the hall entrance, a name banner for the couple, a photo backdrop for the stage or selfie corner, and signs for each function from haldi to reception. 3 Red Media prints all of these at its unit in Chandni Chowk and sends a digital proof on WhatsApp, so the family checks every name and date before anything is printed.
A wedding is the one job where a spelling mistake is not forgiven. That is why we treat the proof step as the most important part of the order, and why this page starts with what to print for each function.
Function by function: what families usually print
| Function | Typical prints | Notes on material |
|---|---|---|
| Haldi | Backdrop with marigold or yellow theme, small name board | Haldi gets messy. A flex backdrop can be wiped; avoid paper or fabric close to the action. |
| Mehendi | Seating-area backdrop, “Mehendi Ceremony” welcome sign | Often outdoors in the afternoon; matte finish avoids glare in photos. |
| Sangeet | Stage backdrop, dance-floor sign, couple’s hashtag board | Stage lights and phones everywhere, so matte media again. |
| Wedding day | Entrance welcome board, couple’s name banner, directional signs to hall and dining | Welcome boards on sunboard stand on an easel and look neat at the door. |
| Reception | Photo backdrop, couple’s monogram wall | An event backdrop on a frame, sized to the decorator’s stage. |
| Home / building | Gate banner, “Shubh Vivah” board at the society entrance | Outdoor: eyelets, rope, and weather in mind if it is monsoon. |
Maharashtrian weddings: details worth getting right
Many Pune families want the names in Marathi as well as English, or Marathi alone, with lines such as शुभ विवाह or the family deity’s name at the top. Devanagari text needs a font that renders the conjuncts properly. If you send text instead of a finished design, send the Marathi wording typed on the phone exactly as the family wants it, and we will match it in the proof.
Check the order of names with the elders before approving. Whose name comes first, whether the parents’ names appear, and how the village or family name is written are all family decisions, and changing them after printing means printing again.
Photo banners of the couple
If the banner uses a pre-wedding photo, send the original file from the photographer, not a screenshot from Instagram. Social media compresses photos heavily, and a face blown up to 6 feet tall shows every bit of that.
Before you approve the proof: a family checklist
- Both names spelled the way they appear on the invitation card.
- Date, day and muhurat time match the card (if they are on the banner at all).
- Venue name spelled correctly, including “Lawns” or “Mangal Karyalay”.
- Marathi text checked by someone who reads it fluently.
- Size confirmed with the decorator or hall manager.
- Decide who collects the prints and when, so they reach the hall before the decorator starts.
Leave the year and date off the monogram backdrop if you want to keep it as a keepsake or reuse it at a later anniversary function.
Sizes that work at Pune halls and lawns
A welcome board at the entrance reads well at around 2×3 ft or 3×4 ft. A couple’s name banner over a gate is usually long and short, something like 3×10 ft. Stage backdrops depend entirely on the decorator’s frame, so ask for the inner width and height. For a selfie corner, 6×8 ft gives enough room for four or five people in one picture.
Lawn weddings between June and September need extra care. Rain and wind can tear a banner that has too few eyelets. Ask for eyelets every 2 feet and ask the decorator to tie the banner tight on all sides.
Small extras people forget
Directional boards to the dining hall and washrooms help elderly guests at large venues. A mirror or car sticker for the couple’s car can be cut in vinyl. A roll-up standee with a QR code for the wedding photo album link is useful at receptions.
Check the karyalay’s rules before fixing
Many mangal karyalays and banquet halls in Pune have their own rules on what can be fixed to their walls: no nails, no tape on painted surfaces, banners only on the decorator’s frames, or only on the gate. Ask the hall manager before the order, because it decides whether you need eyelets for rope, a stand-alone easel board, or a backdrop sized to their stage frame.
It is also worth asking what time the hall opens to decorators on the day. If the decorator starts at 6 am, the prints need to reach the hall the evening before. Plan who carries them and where they are kept overnight so they are not folded or left in the rain.
Ordering
Send the list of prints, sizes and designs (or names, text and photos) on WhatsApp or through the quote page. You get a price and a proof. After the family approves, we print at Chandni Chowk and finish with eyelets, framing or mounting as needed, for pickup or delivery.
