    Learn More About Wedding Signs

    There are many kinds of signs to choose from to keep guests up to speed on what’s happening before, during, and after a ceremony. Wedding signs are extremely useful in conveying all sorts of information to attendees. Work with a talented designer on Etsy to create custom wedding signs suited to your particular occasion. Here are some popular wedding sign ideas to help inspire ways to keep your wedding guests in the know:


    • Directional wedding signs: Extremely helpful when placed near the wedding venue, these signs help point guests in the right direction when looking for the location of your ceremony.
    • Informational wedding signs: These signs offer up all kinds of nuggets related to the ceremony and reception, from an indicator for where to put your coats to a wedding bar sign with the hours the open bar will be available at the reception.
    • Wedding celebration signs: Celebratory signs set out on a stand with biographical information about each partner—perhaps with a photo of the delighted duo or an inspirational landscape as the background—can help attendees feel better connected to the couple and enhance their joy for the celebration.
    • Wedding table signs: Reserved indicators and other signs for wedding tables help clarify where guests should sit, ensuring attendees don't mistakenly sit at a table meant for honored guests.

    When it's your big day, you get to decide what style and material of signs are right for your wedding. Matching signs are helpful in creating a cohesive look for all your wedding decor. Perhaps you'd prefer your signs to stand out so they're easy to spot. Contrasting signs will easily accomplish this.

    You can find a wide range of wedding sign styles from shops on Etsy with the look and aesthetic just right for your event. Here are some wonderful styling options to match or contrast your signage with your theme:

    Classic wedding signs: When you're going for the traditional look, the classic wedding sign might be just what you're after. With a clear-contrast color palette—often black, white, and gold or silver—the easy-to-read words are frequently printed or painted in elaborate calligraphy or an elegant script.

    Rustic wedding signs: Reflecting the rugged charm of down-home life, rustic wedding signs incorporate nature's beauty and coarse materials—such as a log slab or a plank of distressed wood—to set the tone. Whether your ceremony takes place in a decorated barn, a farm field, or an old church, the down-to-earth elegance of rustic wooden wedding signs are a great fit for informing your guests on the day of your event.

    Neon wedding signs: These eye-popping signs work perfectly in darker venues and nighttime ceremonies and come in a wide choice of colors and designs. From large, elaborate displays to simple one and two-word wedding welcome signs, there's a neon option to make a splash at your event.

    Boho wedding signs: Bring a touch of the free-spirited 1960s to your gala with lively colors and whimsical imagery that the Bohemian artistic movement is famous for. Whether it's the core theme of your wedding or just as an eye-catching accent, Boho signage is sure to add a little something extra to your wedding's ambiance.

    The materials you choose for your wedding signage has a tremendous impact on your signs' visual feel. The material also affects the durability and capacity for your signs to hold up in the outdoors. Depending on where you need to place a sign, balanced with its overall look, you may want to mix and match some material choices.


    Wooden wedding signs stand up well against moisture and sunlight and tend to stay put on windy days if you stake them down securely. Wood also makes it easy to add your own personal touches—such as little images or extra messages—with just a bit of paint and a steady hand.


    Wedding signs made from acrylic come in an array of color combinations and aesthetic options. Acrylic is the perfect material choice when you want to add any amount of transparency to your sign while also holding up splendidly against the wind and rain.


    Paper offers a tremendous opportunity to make a wide variety of signs of your own that are ideal for displaying indoors, away from the elements. Exercise your artistic skill, or get a little assistance from a number of wedding sign templates to help you along.
