Conflicted on Wedding Signage

So I’ve been in love with wedding signage like this (picture attached) since before we got engaged. It’s basically painted acrylic with gold scripted paint/vinyl for the wording. I found a super talented lady who does signage exactly like this, all custom and rental so I don’t have to store anything or try to resell after. However, it’s going to cost around $1,000 for her to do all of our signage. The cost includes a $200 travel fee (she’s in the next city over, about 1.5 hours one way), all of the easels, and she will come and do all of the set up and take away the next day. I’m starting to have second thoughts though, after another friend of mine getting married shared that she’s doing all of their signage via custom Etsy templates and just having them printed locally. It’s a completely different look (which I do like - simple and modern and still matches our vibe), and would require a little more work on our end but I could potentially save hundreds of dollars and even resell some of the signs/frames after the wedding.


Am I crazy for even considering spending $1000 on signage?! Should I just go the Etsy route and put a little more time into doing my signs and save lots of money? What would you do/how much are you spending on your own wedding signs?
