Wedding Sign Ideas

Wedding sign ideas are an essential consideration for your big day. A wedding is the ultimate in entertaining a crowd! Wedding or otherwise, a crowd of people need assistance to know where they should be and what they should do next.

We deal with large groups of people on a regular basis. After all, that’s what the event industry is all about! We’ve seen events that go well and celebrations that don’t go as well. One important fact to consider is how guests will know what to do and what’s coming up. We find guests like to be told what to do in our experience! Your family and friends will want to ‘do the right thing’ and be where they’re supposed to be. This is where it can fall down without some pre-planned coordination.

It goes without saying that you can’t have a person stationed everywhere to tell guests what to do. That’s where you need wedding sign ideas! Great signage means guests will be able to easily read what they should be doing next. We find when guests come across a sign they always stop to read it. Wedding sign ideas communicate above the noise of an event. Often verbal announcements or instructions can’t be heard or are unintentionally ignored. Signs take away the need for a person to be allocated to tell guests what to do next.

Today on the blog we’re looking at some great wedding sign ideas you may like to incorporate into your wedding.

Ceremony Welcome

The first wedding sign your guests will see so make it a good one! A sweet welcome to your guests is always a lovely thing to be greeted by at a wedding. Perhaps it could indicate guests where to be seated if you have pre-arranged seating. Otherwise a simple and loving ‘welcome’ will do the trick!

Sign Posts

A vintage style signpost is a fantastic idea if your wedding day festivities will be held all on the same property. For example, your signpost could indicate where to park; where the ceremony will take place and where to move onto for the reception. A signpost with arrows is super cute and will build your guests’ excitement for what’s to come.

A sign to be…signed!

Perhaps you could include a sign that your guests could also sign as a memory of your day! We’ve seen some amazing items signed over the years that are then proudly displayed in the newlywed couple’s home. Wine barrels, shovels and artwork all spring to mind!

Wedding sign ideas for your timeline

Other great signage ideas are simple signs that demonstrate when and where certain activities will be taking place. A simple timeline that outlines the day’s festivities will be appreciated by your guests. For example, ‘Sparkler Farewell – 10:30pm’ indicates to guests that they can expect the night to wrap up around that time. Your wedding timeline can be as simple or as detailed as you like. You could also include locations so guests know where they need to be at what time.

Wedding activity signs

Do you have lawn games planned? Will dancing start at a certain time? Let your guests know what activities you have in store. How about a ‘Croquet’ sign on the lawn with the croquet kit beside it? This naturally invites guests to amuse themselves. A few well signed activities while you’re off having professional photos will keep your guests amused.

Wishing well signage

Lolly and Dessert Bar Signs
Everyone loves a dessert bar! Food signage can excite guests about what’s to come and also ward off any sneaky visitors from pinching lollies early! Chocolate fountains or other dessert bars are also worthy of their own signage so guests know what to expect.

Wishing well signage

Whether your having a gift table or a wishing well, signage can be a helpful addition. Guests often don’t know where to leave their gifts. Guests leaving nondescript envelopes full of cash on their tables for them to be accidentally cleared away is the last thing you want! Look up some wedding sign ideas to make it clear to your guests where they can safely place their gifts.

Wedding sign ideas for your photo booth

One of our favourite things about our photo booth design is that guests always know just what it is and where to find it. Our booths make a statement signage piece all on their own. However, sometimes our clients like to customise their booths with additional signage near their guest book. In addition we even offer some custom signage options for our clients!

We hope you found some great wedding sign idea inspo on the blog today! Last but not least, Pinterest is another great resource – check it out here.
