Signage

Liz, on March 5, 2021 at 1:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

What type of signage should be placed at the ceremony and reception? I know I need a seating chart sign, but have no clue what else may be needed.

    A lot of that depends on what you want/need. We aren't having any signage because we felt it was an unnecessary cost on our part. Also we just didn't want them anyway. It may be nice to have a sign letting guests know to keep their phones in their pockets during the ceremony if that's what you want. Bar signage could be fun as well - like a chalkboard sign that lists your available drinks. Signage for the gift and guest book tables is also pretty popular.

    Signs are typically completely optional, but if you're looking for ideas: for the ceremony, you could do a welcome sign with your names, so your guests know they're in the right place (especially if your venue hosts multiple weddings on the same day). For the reception, you could do either a seating chart sign, or instead you could do escort cards with the table assignments. You could have a guest book sign, or a signature cocktail sign, or a dessert bar sign (if you're doing any of those). All signs are optional, but depending on what you're looking for, they could be fun to have!

    No signage is needed. Not even for a seating chart because those are typically individual cards that guests pick up off a table. Definitely nothing for the ceremony. If you need programs passed out or guestbook signed, there is an attendant. If you are having a buffet or stations, have each dish labelled. A sign at the bar lets guests know what their options are. Beyond that, none are needed.

    A lot of people do welcome signs or a sign saying it's unplugged

    Signs are optional because they just usually help with the decor. If you do want a sign near the entryways you can always reuse them at the ceremony and reception. As for the seating chart it is up to you if you want to do a sign or you can put their names on a card on the tables.

    We are having a welcome sign in our ceremony area, a seating chart, and a cute little wood sign with our hashtag. Like everyone said it's all optional, these are the ones we chose to incorporate.

    Hi Liz! The signage we did was one for the covid wristbands, Guestbook sign, In Loving Memory (photos of loved ones who have passed), Card Table, Cookie Table/Dessert Bar, and a decorative sign for a table of childhood photos of me and my husband. We also had a Welcome sign for ceremony and reception, but the only reason we had a ceremony one because our original date was on it and just wanted to use it anyway 😂 The signage was actually one of the hardest tasks I had to complete, so don’t feel the need to do them all! ❤️

    Our venue did a general welcome sign for us at the entrance, and then for the ceremony we had a covid guidelines sign (so classy, haha), and a 'find your seat' sign since we did assigned seats. If covid hadn't been a thing, we wouldn't have had any ceremony signage beyond maybe a "sit wherever" kind of thing.

    For the reception, we had a table assignments sign, as well as a gifts/cards and guestbook sign.
