Unplugged ceremony sign rude?

I wanted one... but my FH disagrees... if you and FH say yes... I say do it <3

Love the idea. But would prefer a message that ends on a positive note of togetherness, instead of a reprimand. Really like the general idea of "being fully present" on Mrs. C's sign. I think I will go with something more spiritual. something like "The couple believes their souls cannot be united without the focused energy of all our guests. Please turn off electronics, and be fully present with your heart, mind, and spirit."

I didn't read all the comments, but as someone who sells these kind of things on Etsy, you might want to just ask the seller if that part can be removed or replaced with text that you like better since you like the top part of the sign.

I had never thought of this until I read it. Haven't been to a wedding in years. I think I will have the officiant say it at the beginning because I'm sure many will "miss the memo" if you expect them to read a sign. I welcome my guests to take plenty of pics during the reception, even thinking about doing a dropbox or hashtag so people can share them with us. However i thought it should be obvious not to at the ceremony, but people seem to have forgotten manners. You wouldn't take your phone out during church and start snapping pics, or maybe people would...

Alexis, who is doing the sign for you? It's harder to go up in size then down. Most printers can handle conversions, even local shops can do something with a small amount of converting. However, here is a more polite, inexpensive option: https://www.etsy.com/listing/218372812/chalkboard-personalized-unplugged?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=unplugged%20wedding%20sign&ref=sc_gallery_1&plkey=007a674bdb8cae866e1b704b56816fa6b79aa821:218372812

I'll be asking people to put their phones away during the ceremony and the first dance. I don't want them getting in the way of the professional photographers just so they can take pics with their crappy cellphones. And yes, I'm the type of bride who will tell her guests this right to their faces.
