![]() This sets the tone for your cocktail hour - what do you want guests to be doing? Mingling? Drinking? Playing games? Let them know! Usually you don’t want to spend too much budget on your cocktail hour set up, so a sign is a simple way to personalize it and add your theme and wedding colors. You don’t want people coming up to you asking where they are. If the restrooms aren’t obvious, I like to make a little on-theme sign that points them out. It also can be super cute and great place to add in some of your color, theme and personality. It’s super helpful, so people don’t have to wander. This is a sign that points out where the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will be taking place. You could also surprise your partner with a special little message and have each flower girl or ring bearer carry down a part of it. There are a ton of really cute ideas, my favorite is something along the lines of “here comes your girl” carried by the ring bearer. This is just purely for the cuteness factor. Traditionally, the groom’s family and friends sat on the right and the bride’s say on the left, but “choose a seat, not a side” signs are popular to help the two groups mingle a bit more. Giving them a heads up with reserved seating signs and where you would like them to sit can help the ceremony seating process be a bit smoother for them. Guests always walk up to a ceremony all nervous, not sure what the correct etiquette is for where they should sit. Ceremony Seating Sign & Reserved Seating Signs You could also do a small table if you have multiple people you would like to honor. I like to set up a chair for them with sign, their photo and some flowers. I love finding meaningful ways to include deceased loved ones into your big day. This sign also reminds guests to unplug from daily life and be present with you for this huge moment - we all need a friendly reminder to do that sometimes. You would think it would be obvious, but if you don’t remind your guests to turn off their phones, someone is going to get a call or notification right in the middle of your vows. ![]() ![]() If you don’t want people on their phones, this sign is a MUST. But a sign is much cuter! Unplugged Ceremony Sign Again, this was traditionally done on a piece of paper, handed to each guest along with the event program. This sign just explains the schedule for the evening. A sign has a bigger impact aesthetically! Order of Events Sign Traditionally this was done on a piece of paper and handed out to each guest as they entered, but that is kind of wasteful. This is a sign that introduces your bridal party and basically everyone who will be walking down the aisle. Here are a few of the welcome signs available in my Etsy shop - click the image to shop or favorite them on Etsy and add them to your Pinterest board from there! This also makes for a cute photo op for your guests as they arrive! My favorite way to go about this is to have a pretty simple sign, then place it on an easel or a table and decorate with floral (you can ask your florist to create an arrangement just for this!) and other décor items that go with your theme, scheme and colors. Having a welcome sign that fits your theme and scheme plus adds some personalization to your big day adds SO much to your event. This one is obvious - but I’m not sure people fully realize the impact of a fantastic wedding welcome sign display. Here is my complete checklist of wedding sign ideas: Welcome Sign I would LOVE if you would head over to Etsy and Favorite my shop - that way you will see each time I add more wedding signs to my collection! I also have some really fun bachelorette party backdrops, signs and swag in there too! This way you can get a designer look at a fraction of the cost AND you don’t have to mess with designing and printing everything yourself. So I created a line of ACTUAL signs that are printed on foam core board and actually shipped to your door. ![]() I finally started my shop after I realized that it’s kind of a pain to buy your wedding signs now - either they are super expensive or you just buy a template off Etsy and you have to figure out how to design everything, then you have to print it… which is expensive. Also, I recently launched my Etsy shop - PrettiestPartyGirl - where I post all of the signs I create for the different events that I plan, including a ton of really cute wedding signs. ![]()
