What signage should I have at my wedding?

Wedding day signage might seem like a small detail in the grand scheme of things, but it plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for both the couple and their guests. These signs serve as informative, decorative, and interactive elements that help set the tone, guide attendees, and enhance the overall ambiance of the event. So what are some examples, you may ask:

1. Road signs

If your venue is a little off the beaten track, it’s often a nice touch to have some brown road signs personalised so guests see a ‘heads up’ before their turning.

2. Welcome signs

Placed at the entrance, these signs greet guests and set the tone for the event. They often include the couple’s names, wedding date, and a warm message.

3. Order of the day

Displayed at various locations, these signs provide a detailed schedule of the day’s events, including ceremony time, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.

4. Personalised hashtag

Designed to promote social media sharing, these signs encourage guests to use a specific wedding hashtag when posting photos online.

5. Cake flavours

Designed to be aesthetically pleasing as they can often match the colour theme of your wedding but with an informative value too. You can write a disclaimer about ingredients too for those who suffer with allergies/intolerances.

6. Reserved signs

Placed on select seats, these signs reserve seating for specific individuals, such as family members or VIP guests.

7. Directional sign

Used to guide guests around the venue, these signs indicate where to find key areas such as the ceremony space, reception area, restrooms, and parking.

8. Seating chart/table plan

Displayed near the entrance of the reception, these signs list guest names and their assigned tables.

9. Menus

Have you opted for a signature cocktail? Do you want to remind people what they can expect to eat? Displayed on reception tables or at the bar, these signs detail the food and drink options for the event.
