What Signs Do I Need for My Wedding? A Complete Guide to Essential Wedding Signs

If you’re in wedding planning mode, there’s a good chance you’ve asked yourself:
"What do I really need for my wedding?"

The quick answer? A selection of carefully chosen wedding signs can do more than just point guests in the right direction; they add style, personality, and a dash of elegance to your celebration. And the best part? Most couples these days choose custom wedding signs that turn into treasured mementos.

Let's break it down into must-haves (and some extras), so you'll precisely know what to order—and when.

1. The Welcome Sign: Making the First Impression

If you only get to select one sign, this is the one to choose.

Your welcome wedding sign greets your visitors as they come in. It establishes the tone and provides a glimpse into your sense of style, but most importantly, indicates that you welcome them into the celebration.

What to include:

- Your names

- Wedding date

- Optional: Short quote, location, or a symbol like "Welcome to our forever"

Our bestsellers:
Custom Wildflower Wedding Signs – Delicate, sweet, flower-inspired

Stained glass wedding signs are innovative, unique, and full of colors.

Available in: Gold/silver acrylic mirror, PVC, or clear acrylic. Sizes range from 24x16" to 42x28".

2. The Timeline Sign (or Event Schedule)
So that guests don't hound you every five minutes asking, "When's dinner?" or "Do speeches come before or after cake?" a timeline sign works perfectly.

This sign displays the sequence of your special day—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, and send-off. It introduces a sense of order, making your wedding feel nicely structured.

Tip: Add an extra design touch with icons like a champagne flute, rings, or a clock—especially if your sign doesn't already include them. You can also keep things simple and elegant by styling your sign with a few realistic flowers. And for a perfectly cohesive look, explore our full collection to find matching designs. (a secret between us: our team of designers can help you) :)

3. The Seating Chart Sign
You need this if you have assigned seats. A seating chart makes everything run smoothly—and it can be a great decoration.

Options:

• Classic Alphabetical List
  Best for smaller weddings or when keeping it ultra-simple.
  

• Table-by-Table Layout (like the sign bellow on the right)
  Guests are grouped under each table number. Visually elegant and more personal.
  
  

• Artistic or Framed Design (like the stained glass sign bellow one on the left)
  A bold visual feature. Great when your sign is also part of the wedding’s aesthetic theme—like stained glass, boho florals, or minimalist modern.

All printed using UV ink, not vinyl, so it will not peel or fade—great if you wish to keep it for years to come.

4. Table Signs: Functional & Attractive
After the guests have their table, you will need the matching table number signs. You can also include menus, names, or small thank-you messages.

Regular materials:

Small acrylic mirrors cause things to look high-end and fashionable.

PVC stained glass or wildflower-patterned signs to decorate themed tables.

Other Signs You Can Take Into Account:
- Guest book signature ("Please sign our guest book")

- Drink List

- "Take a seat, not a side," or "Love is sweet."

- Picture time sign or Hashtag

Not necessary—but these small touches make your wedding yours and personalize it.
