Choosing a concise welcome email subject line

The situation

A welcome email needed to be sent out quickly, with the request made to send it out on the same day. The email was ready, but the subject line had not been finalized. The person making the decision had to weigh the options for the subject line, considering what would be most effective. The goal was to get the email out as soon as possible, while also making sure it was well-received by the recipients. The decision maker had to think about what would make the email stand out in a crowded inbox.
