Complete guide to wedding signs: what you need and where to display them

Wedding signs set the tone, direct guests and personalise the venue. Here is every sign worth having and exactly where it goes.

The essentials

Welcome sign (entrance or guestbook table), order of the day (ceremony entrance), seating chart (reception entrance). These three cover the practical navigation that every wedding needs. All free at our wedding signs page.

The table details

Food menu (per setting or per table), table numbers, place cards. Together these make the dining experience feel considered and elegant. The bar menu goes on the bar or drinks table.

The personal touches

Guest book sign (beside the book), confetti sign (ceremony exit), post box sign (beside the card box), unplugged ceremony sign (ceremony entrance), photo booth sign (beside the props). None are essential — all add a personal, designed feel.

How to display them

A2 signs on floor easels (welcome sign, seating chart). A3 framed signs on tables (menus, order of the day). A5 tent cards per place setting (menus, table numbers). Small A5 or A6 signs tied to chairs or propped on stands (reserved seating, confetti cones).
