Other Signs to Consider
Chances are, you’ll be much too busy in a whirlwind of photography and congratulations to communicate with your guests directly on your wedding day. This is precisely what signs are for! Here are some other signs to consider posting for your guests’ convenience.
Unplugged Ceremony, Please!
It’s hard to see your guests’ smiling faces if they’re buried in a screen! Many couples request that their guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony and/or from posting to social media until after the wedding (or at least after the ceremony). A custom sign is a great way to let them know your preferences. If you do welcome social media photos and posts, it’s also a great way to let them know what hashtag you’re using! #NoDistractions #Getmygoodside #JaneandJoeWedding2021
Wedding Favors
If you load a whole table with favors and no invitation to take one, it could be confusing for your guests! Post a sign to let them know to take one as a token of your appreciation for celebrating your big day together.
Guest Book Sign
Many couples invite their guests to sign a guest book – it makes a wonderful keepsake to enjoy long after you’ve exchanged vows. Include a sign on the table encouraging your guests to autograph your book so you can reminisce about how everyone made your day memorable. Like how your Uncle Bob gave that impromptu, drunken heartfelt toast about how you were meant for each other, for instance. Good times.

Photo Booth Signs
Photo booths are a lot of fun, and you can expect the pics to get better and better as the party rages into the wee hours. Get creative with your signage for this one. Keep in mind they can be used inside the booth as well as out.

Quotes
If there’s a song lyric or literary quote that sums up your relationship or that brought you together in the first place, why not integrate it into your decor? Place a decorative sign containing the quote on your cake table, or add it to your schedule signage to greet your guests.
All Signs Point to “I Do”
Planning a wedding can be so much fun if you have the right support and resources. Beautifully decorative and useful wedding signs can give your guests (and wedding venue) a sense of direction and keep everything nice and organized.
We sincerely hope we’ve managed to provide you with a little help to lighten the planning load so you can enjoy the special event. After all, you’ll only do it once. Then before you know it, you’ll be settled into married life. Savor the moments while you can.
