Signs as Decor: In or Out?

I love the signs. We will be having a few of them.

I love signs. I’ll have a welcome sign (since the wedding is in a golf club, some people won’t know who’s wedding it is and I’d like to share that!), a sign for our signature drinks, a sign for our “in memory of” table, a sign for our guest book (it’s a star map so it may not not 100% obvious to some to sign it), a sign for our card/gift table, but i think that’s it. I will going to have a sign for shuttle times if we end up renting one.

Totally in - When used in good taste and moderation! We will have a welcome sign with a touch of greenery for our outdoor ceremony.

They’re in, but easily overdone. I definitely want a sign at the entrance that we can put in our house after.

We will have some signs, but there WILL BE a limit 😂😂

TOTALLY IN! Our signage will be a mixture of these 2 photos. It will be something like "Our adventure starts at 3153 feet then our wedding date on the bottom" 3153 feet is the altitude of where we will have our ceremony at in Glacier National Park

I think the trend is fading a little, but I still love it! Definitely having a few signs at our wedding.

We had a few at the reception, none at the ceremony. I did a welcome sign, one at the bar with the drink options (necessary), a cute one with a Disney quote, and the caterer did one at the buffet. I wanted to do one for the guest book and glow sticks but ran out of time and they weren’t necessary. I had a nontraditional card box and some people didn’t know where to put their cards, so I should have done one for that.

In for giving helpful information, out for everything else. Our venue is an old museum and the first 2 floors are now offices, art studios, etc and the 3rd floor is the event space but the only bathrooms are on the 2nd floor so we will have 2 copies of a sign telling people what floor to go to for different things (coat check, bathroom, reception) one with an arrow pointing to the elevator in the main lobby and one in the elevator itself. The venue doesnt want any guests in the basement and we are keeping the balcony as our "behind the scenes" area where we will keep all the boxes for centerpieces and the speakers and other necessities that dont look pretty and castle-y and we want to make sure guests know which floor to go to for everything. Then we will have a sign pointing to the bathrooms across from the elevator on the 2nd floor since the men's room in down one hallway and the women's down the other (the building is L shaped and the elevator is at the center point of the L). We will also have a seating chart sign (set up like a map of the fantasy worlds our tables are named after so it will be pretty art for our home after) and a sign in the Christmas tree indicating that the ornaments are the escort cards and to please take theirs to mark their seat. We are having people sign a matte to frame a wedding photo in as our guestbook and debating on whether we need a sign for that or not. And tables will have ornaments on the centerpieces to indicate their name instead of a traditional sign.

These seem like something that looks excellent in photos, but doesn't serve much of a purpose. I'm guessing people started to think they needed so many because of all the styled shoots on pinteresting. It just seems a little too branded for me. We like mystery I guess.

I love signs but not too many

In! But they should definitely be done in moderation.

A few signs can look really good, but as long as it's not overdone.

In I plan on doing this

In. Love it

Oh definitely in for sure!

I'm ok with signs as long as there aren't too many at a single event.

I agree they are nice but not too many! people know what are favors and what is a guestbook.

So out of control.

We're both designers and know that less is more, and they can be overwhelming and very unnecessary.

People know who's wedding you're at unless you're at a banquet hall with different rooms. You dont need cheeky signs that are punny.

We only had a sign for our program, and the sign for the guestbook was directly written on the item. Otherwise, we had menus/drink menus, and food tags for the buffet and desserts.

Less is more, scripty fonts are so trendy and everything ends up looking the same.

They’re in but overdone. We will have one by our signing bible letting them know they can highlight and sign. Just because it’s not a traditional signing book.

and a welcome sign telling them no seating plan and that it is an unplugged ceremony.
