Wedding Ceremony signs/Reception Signs

Septbride17, on June 27, 2017 at 2:54 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 18

Hello all,

I was wondering what the core list of signs are. Example: Ceremony this way, please sign guest book... etc.

What are you guys having signs for?

    I'm having no signs. Prior to the last few years, I had never seen signs at weddings. Most people are smart enough to figure that type of stuff out without sign.

    But if you're gonna do signs, i think it all depends on your actual wedding space.

    More often than not, the signs are not cute. They are overkill and annoying af. Your guests aren't stupid. If you're going to do signs please make sure they are necessary and keep it minimal.

    Less is more, honestly. Most people can figure out where the bar and the guest book are.

    I am having a few. We are having a beach wedding and there is a specific entrance to where our ceremony will be. So at the entrance I am having a sign that says "drinks here, ceremony there, love everywhere" One of those ones with the arrows. We are having a drink station before the ceremony as well. Instead of programs I am doing a program "board" and there will be a sign on the table for Cards/Gifts and Please sign our guestbook.

    I think less is more!

    I'm doing a welcome outside the venue, unplugged ceremony, my seating chart is technically a sign, and then menu/bar menu signs.

    I agree with the above comments about less being more. For example you don't need a sign that says "mints" in front of a plate that obviously has mints on it. Details that people need to know are good on signs but your guestbook and food don't need labels

    I've made all of our signs except one. The only one I didn't make is the unplugged ceremony sign. We will have a wedding invite entrance sign at the doors, a choose a seat not a side sign, and a sign for our guestbook. The only reason I have a guestbook sign is because it's not a traditional one.

    So far I have one sign that is going to be at our favor table that says "favors please take one" and that's about it. I don't have a welcome sign , only wedding that day so no confusion and no sign guest book or anything either. I am doing escort cards on a board that has vintage keys so I might do something like "find the key to your seat"

    I definitely agree that less is more... but I am trying to figure out what signs might be important to have.

    Totally depends on your space. I agree, signs are such a "trend" now. I'm not sure where it came from....side eying pinterest

    The only sign I did was our guest book because it was unconventional, wanted to be sure people knew to sign it.

    I attended a wedding last year that was on a sprawling estate with a few buildings, etc. so signs were helpful. For example, there was a cigar and whiskey bar in one barn, a candy buffet in a gazebo, a champagne display in another area, desserts in another gazebo, a photo booth set up behind another building, etc. (yes, a bit over the top!)

    The only sign I'm planning to have is one that will be placed on the bar that says what our hashtag is. Figured that would be a good place to put it since most people will be visiting the bar Smiley smile Too many signs are annoying.

    I asked my venue about this. I'm having C and R at the same place, and the coordinator told me there will be employees to direct ppl. Signs I plan to make are for the menu, photo guest book, and hashtag.

    We didn't have a single sign at our ceremony or reception. No one got lost and almost everyone signed the guest book.

    Signs I'm doing:

    -Welcome

    -Menu

    -Pick Your Own Lemons (bc guests are welcome to pick lemons off the trees to take home)

    -Sign Our Guestbook

    -S'mores Bar

    -Seating Chart (not doing escort cards, just writing/printing assignments out)

    -Ceremony/Program Sign - Haven't figured this out entirely, we're not doing printed programs but I wanted to have a sign with the names of all the wedding party, parents, etc.
