Wedding planning and considering your wedding day signage? Great! I get it, it can feel overwhelming thinking what you might need. Let’s break down the wedding signage essentials! In this blog post I’ll take you through what wedding signage is, why it’s important, how to choose a design for your signage, plus how and where to display the signage on the day.
What Is Wedding Signage?
Wedding signs are essentially there to guide and direct your wedding guests on the wedding day. Including wedding welcome signs, order of the day signs, table plans and smaller signs such as in loving memory, cake flavours, your guestbook, bar drinks and anything you may want to get your guests attention for!

Why is Wedding Signage Important?
Wedding signage helps make the organisation and flow of the wedding day much easier, particularly an order of the day sign when everyone can see what is happening and when. Signage also provides an opportunity for injecting a pop of colour and modern style to your day.

How Display Wedding Signage?
I recommend speaking to your venue to see what they have available. A rustic barn wedding venue is very likely to have rustic wooden easels for larger signs such as the welcome sign and table plan which you can use on the day and it keeps within the wedding style. There are lots of different interesting ways to display signage. Have a look around the venue to see where it could be located.

Where should I display the wedding signage?
Speak to your venue about where couples have located their signage in previous weddings. Take another tour of the venue and consider the flow of where your guests will be. A welcome sign is often placed outside as guests enter the venue; a table plan is close to where guests enter the wedding breakfast.
You’ll likely have an agreed location for a guest book and your cake- so these signs can be styled next to them, in frames or however you choose.

Tips for wedding stationery signage
Keep all signage simple and easy to read with a good font so everyone can easily read them. I have this covered in my LouPaper designs!
Consider the size of the signage and how it works with your venue, for example a large sign in a small space won’t look right. I’ve got a blog post specifically on signage sizes which you can read here.
Include your personality and have fun with the signs! This is your day and it should represent you as a couple!
