No signage

These days my approach to wedding planning is to simplify and reduce costs where possible. Signs are definitely on my skip list!

We have a couple of signs

1. The No Cell Phone Sign- Very Large and Next to Our Welcome Table

2. Little signs for the wine display stating which wines will be served with which courses

3. The card and gift table. Only because it's basically a random table other than a card box on it.

I'm the exact opposite and have sign overload haha. Definitely not a must, like you are alluding to. However they're one of my favorite parts of the decor and I'm satisfied with the money I put into them. We also have a bigger welcome sign that will be used at the ceremony, and I plan to order a matching bar menu now that we've finalized the drinks we'll be having

We had a sign on the gift table and the venue created signs that had our signature drinks at the bar (full open bar, but fun cocktails if the guests wanted a suggestion). The venue also printed menus at each place setting, if that counts. That was it. I really don't understand the need for a million signs.

We plan to have signs, but trying to keep them to a minimum. Only ones that are absolutely necessary.

Skipping for the most part, they seem unnecessary to us. We might do a little “in remembrance” sign for the table of pictures of our loved ones who couldn’t join us and have passed on. And a small sign on framed the card/guest book table stating that instead of favors, we are doing a donation of our choosing. That’s really all I can think we’ll do. Only reason because those two things really need to be communicated.

We did a welcome sign, a seating chart, and a “sign” (menu in a picture frame listing the beers and wines available) at the bar. The caterer did a sign at the beginning of the buffet with the menu.
They weren’t missed or needed. If you don’t want them you don’t have to have them.

I had a big welcome sign that we got from Etsy, but other than that, signs were minimal at my wedding.

We’re having an unplugged ceremony sign, a seating chart, a signature drink menu sign, and then little signs that label each dessert since we’re doing a dessert bar. That’s it.

In my opinion... the nicest, classiest weddings I have been to; the motto is almost always the same - less is more.

Both my sister (MOH) and my FMIL purchased Cricuts for my wedding, so I have a feeling there will be signs everywhere 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Yes! Occasional venues with odd layouts need them, always have. But the recent fad for signs has made some weddings look like ads / junk mail scattered over all, trashing otherwise classy weddings.

Other than a seating chart, we didn't make any signage - the venue took care of that.

At the last minute, an online friend of mine sent a sign she made for us, as a surprise, so, we used that. It was super sweet of her and very personalized.

We did one sign for the gifts table, one for the glow sticks, one for the guest book, and one for the ceremony telling people to sit wherever they like - but they were all pretty discreet.

We skipped signs. All we had were our bar menu signs that I made myself.

We are just doing the basics, like you said. A welcome sign, card/gift table sign, open bar sign, guest book and escort card sign. On Etsy I found a seller that gives you access to some design page, $5 for unlimited signs and no limitations on designs. I plan to buy the acrylic frames from the dollar store... all in about $10. The welcome sign will be on a mirror with a decal so that’s a little more expensive. No need for anything more than that.

We don't plan on having any dedicated signs unless the venue has a sign for the gift/card table. The bar will be obvious enough and the food (hors d'oeuvres) will be passed. For us it's just really unnecessary and a bit of a waste of money with how tight our budget is.
