Discord Welcome Message Templates (20+ Examples)

Your welcome message is the first thing new members see. A great welcome makes them feel included and tells them what to do next.

What Makes a Good Welcome Message?

Greet by name — personalise with the member's mention
Say what the server is about — remind them why they joined
Tell them what to do next — link to rules, roles, introductions
Keep it short — no one reads a wall of text in a welcome message

Tips

Always mention the member — anonymous welcomes feel cold
Link to the next action — don't welcome them and leave them guessing
Test it yourself — use an alt account to see exactly what new members see
Match your server's tone — professional, casual, or playful
