22 Apr Six Must-Have Wedding Signs
Weddings in Tempe and the surrounding areas are picturesque and serene. With warm desert landscapes and stunning sunsets, it’s no wonder our beloved area has become a popular destination for couples looking to tie the knot! Popular venues like Iron Oaks at Sun Lakes, Cottonwood Country Club, and the Oakwood Country Club provide beautiful outdoor spaces with elegant reception areas.
As with any event, weddings run smoother when well-coordinated, and signs play a crucial role in this process. Good signs cover all the little details, from event schedule to seating charts. They help your guests navigate the venue with ease and keep the event flowing from the ceremony through the reception. Here’s how to use signs at a wedding.
Six Types of Signs You Need at Your Wedding
1. Directional Signs
Directional signs are essential for guiding your guests and ensuring a smooth flow throughout the event. You’ll need a “Welcome” sign at the entrance to set the tone and greet your guests. You’ll also need directional signs for parking, seating, check-in areas, and the guest book that offer clear guidance, so no one gets lost.
Parking signs can be printed as yard signs that are easy to set up and remove. Welcome signs can be printed as an A-frame sidewalk sign and stationed near the ceremony location. These signs serve a practical purpose, but they can also contribute to the decor when you use your wedding colors, theme, and fonts.
2. Wedding Program Signs
Being able to see a schedule of events printed on a large scale poster lets everyone know what’s happening and when. It will help people stay on track and not miss out on big parts of the day like the daddy-daughter dance or the couple send-off with sparklers.
3. Seating Chart Signs
You can print your seating chart on a fun, easel-style sign that’s super easy to set up. Bonus – it’s big enough for everyone to quickly spot their seats. This way, your guests won’t be wandering around trying to figure out where they’re sitting. Seating chart signs keep foot traffic flowing and help everyone find the right tables.
4. Table Signs
Table signs work in coordination with the seating chart, and help your guests find their places. You can use signs to indicate table numbers or give each table a fun name (Dirty Dancing, The Proposal, La La Land, etc.). Signs make it a breeze for guests to find their seats and could even create some conversation around a table where not everyone knows each other. You can even print a custom tablecloth for the couple’s table that ties in with your wedding theme.
5. Menu Signs
You can get menu boards professionally printed to show off your menu features like His & Hers cocktails. Menu signs can also include helpful info. For example: “Bar opens at 4:00pm” or “Closing for dinner from 6-7pm – wine is served with dinner.” No more, “What time is the bar open?” confusion. Clear signs will make sure everyone’s in the know and ready to dig in!
6. Photobooth Signs
How fun and memorable would it be to have a custom printed backdrop for your guests to pose with at your wedding? Imagine guests lining up to snap pictures in front of a beautiful backdrop. Instead of just snapping selfies, a “Tell the Story” sign will encourage them to share a little anecdote or memory about you and your spouse! Set up a camera. Or ask guests to record on their phone and upload to a cloud or shared drive. It’s like a live storytelling session! Your loved ones get to contribute their funniest, sweetest, or most heartwarming moments with you as a couple. You’ll end up with a collection of stories to cherish forever!
