What is better than having your big wedding day go smoothly from start to finish with personal touches from you and your partner than having a handpicked wedding signage? More than just embellishments, wedding signage plays a pivotal role in ensuring your wedding ceremony is in order and sets the overall tone of the ceremony. Plus, with your concepts, you can create wedding signs that represent your distinct style—ultimately designing a reception that is both organised and memorable.

 

In this article, we will walk you through the importance of having wedding signage and introduce you to a wedding signage list that includes signs you should have at your ceremony.

 

 

Why Should You Have Wedding Signage?

Wedding signage is essential in ceremonies, serving aesthetic and practical purposes. As the name suggests, wedding signs help facilitate the smooth flow of your guests through the various stages of the event. We all know how hectic the big day is, so having wedding signage would tremendously help wedding planners and the couple’s families in scheduling and direction-giving.

 

Wedding signs guide key areas within the venue, such as the ceremony, reception, and restrooms, and they even label the dessert tables and seating order. By having these signs propped up in the venue, your guests will be kept in the loop and know exactly where and when to be, ensuring a seamless and relaxing experience where they can simply celebrate the joyous moment.

 

Aesthetic-wise, wedding signage allows you and your partner to intertwine your styles with the wedding theme. Here is where you can let your creativity flow—vintage mirrors and frames, playful chalkboard layouts, or elegant acrylic designs—you name it. Your handpicked signage will blend with the wedding decor, adding visual appeal and a hint of personality to the venue. From greeting guests at the entrance to sharing mementoes between you and your lifelong partner-to-be, the right signage will permeate a lovely atmosphere with memorable details that stand out.

 

 

Types of Wedding Signage You Should Have

In Singapore, where different cultures intertwine, wedding ceremonies can last one whole day or stretch to three days depending on the traditional customs performed and included in the occasion. This may also mean hosting multiple parties, such as the actual wedding ceremony, and a more intimate after-party for close friends and family. Regardless of the number of parties you wish to have, you will need wedding party signs to keep the event organised and the guests informed. Here are some must-have wedding signage in your venue’s vicinity.

Wedding Entry Signs

First impressions are everything, so it is essential to invest in an impactful wedding entry sign that can dazzle your guests! Commonly placed at the entrance of your wedding venue, wedding entry signs play a vital role in welcoming guests and giving them an itinerary of the event, as well as a hotspot for photos as soon as your guests arrive.

 

Here are some tips to consider when crafting your wedding entry signs.

 

Materials

Traditional wedding entry signs use materials such as acrylic—but who says your materials cannot get creative? Presently, couples prop up mirrors decorated with scribbles of their greetings and wedding details as welcome signs, making these mirror signs even more captivating and suitable as a photo op since guests can take mirror selfies or their OOTDs!

 

Designs

Wedding entry signs can be as simple as a monogram of you and your partner or as expressive and creative as including a photograph or illustration. To add a more personalised touch, you can include witty messages or quotes to showcase your personality and humour, simultaneously setting the atmosphere for the upcoming event. Whichever aesthetic your choice of a welcome sign may be, it is best to incorporate your wedding’s colour scheme and theme onto the sign for a more harmonious feel, such as adorning flowers atop the wedding entry sign for garden-themed weddings or vintage frames for classic ceremonies.

 

Directional and Informational Signs

Directional and informational signs are essential pieces that help guide your guests navigate their way through the wedding day and within or around the event venue. Directional signs are labels that point out key areas of the wedding venue, such as the reception hall, the ceremony site, the parking area, and restrooms—directing guests with arrows and quotes that say “Ceremony This Way” or “Parking Ahead” to ensure guests do not feel lost or confused.

 

On the other hand, informational signs may be scattered around the wedding venue to keep guests informed on a specific instruction or activity. This may include your wedding’s itinerary, seating arrangements or charts, table number signs, or special instructions like “Leave a message in our guestbook!” or “Please find your seat.” Informational signs do not necessarily have to be big, as they act more as a label and a friendly reminder, but you can always decide on the size and style of these signs according to your tastes; better yet, align them to your wedding’s theme and aesthetic. 

 

Ceremony and Reception Signs

Guests almost always arrive at the wedding venue shy and nervous as they are unsure of the formalities and atmosphere of the wedding. This is where ceremony and reception signs come to the rescue. Signs that greet the guests, like “Welcome to Our Wedding” or “The Party Starts Here!” can significantly set the tone of the ceremony. Other signs may direct guests to reserved seating arrangements, unique spaces like dessert tables and photobooth areas, or inform them of requests like to have an “Unplugged Ceremony”—a ceremony that asks guests to keep their phones and devices away—for minimal obstructions and maximum presence in the event. Ceremony and reception signs are decorative and practical, keeping guests informed while adding a chic touch to your wedding decor.

 

How to Make Your Wedding Signage Memorable

Opt for Customisable-Themed Signs

When it comes to joyous celebrations like weddings, having a uniform theme is de rigueur to ensure a harmonious atmosphere. After all, who would want a wedding that appears as hectic as its behind-the-scenes? Therefore, it is recommended to have your wedding signage match the colour palette or theme of your wedding. If you are going for a classic, all-white wedding, you ought to emphasise the elegance and simplicity of the wedding theme, either by using cursive fonts, white flower decor, or minimalist designs.

 

Whatever the theme of your wedding may be, you should discuss it with your wedding planner to allow you and your partner the freedom to personalise your wedding signage. Add personal anecdotes, illustrations and photographs of or by you and your partner, or include your very own wedding hashtag (which is, by the way, the rising trend in modern weddings) on the signs for wedding signage that are one-of-a-kind while also reflecting your style as a couple. At the end of the day, you would want your signage to be aesthetically pleasing!

 

Get Creative

Wedding ceremonies are fun when you incorporate ideas outside the box! Think interactive wedding signs where you bring your guests into the excitement, such as guestbook stations that use jigsaw puzzles or a vintage telephone to leave their heartfelt messages, and set up a Polaroid or photobooth stations to have them flaunt their glam. Incorporate fun, playful messages near the dance floor to add flair and personality to the joyous event, keeping the atmosphere light and entertaining for your guests of all ages.

 

Make them Picturesque

The best part of wedding signage is that they can double as wedding decor and stunning photo backdrops. By placing the signs at strategic, photo-worthy locations—say, by the window for natural lighting or by the ceremony arch, guests will undoubtedly stop by to take a picture of or with the signs. Incorporate eye-catching elements like floral accents, fairy or neon lights, doodles and scribbles, or a classic vintage frame into your signage to further enhance your wedding photos, accenting the loving atmosphere on your special day.
