The Ultimate Wedding Signage Checklist: Every Sign You Need for Your Wedding Day.
If you’re in the thick of wedding planning, you already know how much detail goes into creating a day that feels like you. From flowers and fonts to the playlist and place cards — every choice tells a part of your story.
But there’s one part that often gets left until last (and really shouldn’t): your wedding signage.
These are the quiet heroes of your day. They guide your guests, set the mood, and make sure everything flows beautifully — from “I do” to the final dance. And the best part? They look incredible in your photos.
Why Signage Matters More Than You Think
The right signage does more than point the way. It creates atmosphere. It welcomes your guests into your world and keeps the day running seamlessly.
Imagine this: your guests arrive and are greeted by a stunning welcome sign that instantly sets the tone — elegant, modern, or relaxed and playful. A few steps later, a seating chart helps them find their spot, and a bar menu teases the night’s signature cocktails.
Each sign is another little moment that says, “This is who we are.”
It’s not just functional — it’s part of your design story.
Your Complete Wedding Signage Checklist
Here’s a list of the signage we recommend for a smooth, beautifully styled day:
Welcome Sign
The first impression. It sets the tone and gives guests that warm “we’re so glad you’re here” moment.
Shop Welcome signs
Unplugged Ceremony Sign
Encourage guests to put their phones away so they can be fully present for your vows. (Trust us — your photographer will thank you!)
Shop Unplugged Signs
Reserved Signs
Used on ceremony chairs for family or VIPs, to prevents seat confusion, ensures special guests get front-row views and can be kept as a keepsake for your parents or grandparents.
Directional Signs
Perfect for outdoor or multi-location venues. They keep guests moving effortlessly from ceremony to cocktails to reception.
Seating Chart
No crowding around tables or awkward guessing games. A seating chart keeps things smooth and helps guests find their place in style.

Table Numbers
Practical, yes — but also an opportunity to tie your design together. Think matching fonts, colours, or materials.

Bar Menu
Stylish and useful. Let guests know what’s on offer — and maybe highlight a signature cocktail that tells your story.
Shop Bar Signs
Food Station or Buffet Labels
Avoid confusion and cater to all dietary needs by clearly labelling your dishes. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Shop Menus 
Favour Sign
A little thank-you message goes a long way. It’s a lovely way to remind guests to take home a piece of your day.
Shop Favour Signs
Guestbook Sign
Encourage guests to sign, share advice, or leave notes for you to read long after the big day.
Shop Guestbook Signs
Wishing Well or Gift Table Sign
Placed near your card or gift table, to show guests exactly where to leave cards or gifts, this prevents them awkwardly asking around and carrying the gifts or cards with them.

Restroom or Facilities Signs
Functional, but with flair. Because yes — even the practical stuff can look pretty.
Social Media Hashtag Sign
Create a fun way for guests to share their photos. Your hashtag helps you find all those candid, joy-filled moments later.
Quote or Story Sign
Add personality with a favourite quote or a line that sums up your story. It’s a simple way to personalise your space.
In Loving Memory Sign
A quiet, heartfelt way to honour loved ones who can’t be there in person but are there in spirit.
Shop In Loving Memory Signs
Dance Floor Sign or Rules
Set the tone for the party — “Shoes optional,” “Dance like nobody’s watching,” or “No slow songs after 10.”
Timing: When to Order Your Signs
Your signage deserves just as much attention as your stationery. To keep things stress-free, we recommend ordering at least 4-6 weeks before the wedding.
This allows time for:
- Custom design and proofs
- Printing and finishing
- Any last-minute tweaks
- Shipping time (with room to spare)
You don’t want to be chasing signage the week before your wedding — you should be celebrating, not stressing.
Top Tip: Keep It Cohesive
When all your signage ties together — fonts, colours, paper stocks, and finishes — it creates a calm, cohesive look throughout your venue.
That’s where we come in. We can help you design signage that not only looks stunning on its own but also complements your invitations, menus, and place cards perfectly.
It’s those small, thoughtful details that make your wedding feel effortlessly polished.
