Signs Of A Great Wedding: Signs!

Most venues are clean canvases that don’t have much personality. I’m not saying they’re ugly or cold. But they’re… generic. Let’s face it, no venue was built with the two of you specifically in mind. You choose the venue because you feel like you relate to it enough. But does it relate enough to you?

You can’t recarpet or repaint or relandscape your wedding location, but you can sprinkle bits of your personalities — your… “ness” — to make it unique and relevant to you and your worlds that come together to celebrate you.

How?

Signs!

Fun, cute signs that match your style and decor are fairly inexpensive and easy ways to personalize your wedding venue; low hanging wedding fruit, if you will.

First, there’s the “pick a seat, not a side” signs. We discussed this a while back, that many couples are choosing to make sure their guests know they don’t have to sit on one specific side at the ceremony since both families are coming together. There are super cute ways to get this message across.

If your wedding venue has a lot of rooms or large grounds, it might be helpful to have direction signs to point your folks toward the important stuff: ceremony, reception, um… booze.

You can also personalize these signs further by including your logo on them if you’ve created one. It’s also a chance to take advantage of utilizing your wedding colors or other unique stylings.

Another popular trend is spicing up your thank you notes with a truly personal thank you! Bring a sign to the wedding and make sure your photographer snaps you posing with it! When you’re married and settled, you’ll have the photos printed on some cards and bam! — personalized thank you notes.

There are lots of cute moves and signs you can execute in front of the camera. Here are some favs!

At the reception, there are lots of great opportunities to spice up the party with some signs. From the cake and candy bar to the bride and groom chairs, feel free to accessorize where you see fit.

Since photo booths are a fun asset to a wedding reception, take advantage and do some signage there, too!

I also love the concept of sharing your love story! You don’t have to write a novel. Just include bulleted facts and dates of how you two developed into youtwo.

Cardstock and wood seem to be popular choices for signs, but chalk boards are also the current trend to communicate with your guests. They are all really aesthetically pleasing, so you can’t go wrong.
