Sign of the Times: Unique Signage Ideas for Your Wedding

Sure, everyone knows whose wedding they’re going to. But signage used throughout our venue can help welcome your guests, tell them where to sit, list drink/menu options, and so on. This is your day to be creative and go all out! If you’re in search of some unique ways to spice up the big day with signage, here is your, well, sign(s). 😉

Neon

Put your name in lights! Splash either the couple’s first names or last name(s) in big, bold, neon signage in your wedding color that can also act as a cool backdrop for a ‘Gram pic.

Signature Drink

Bottoms up! Cheers to the happy couple with a signature beverage—whether alcoholic or nonalcoholic—displayed in a neat sign at the bar. Bonus points for the cute illustration!

Welcome Sign

A welcome sign is pretty much a standard for any wedding. It does double duty by telling your guests where to enter the venue—plus makes for a great token to display in your home following the big day. We especially love this unique mirror display! (And your guests will appreciate being able to take a second look at themselves before entering.)

Seating charts are another biggie for your wedding day. Odds are you’ve spent several hours—if not days!—perfecting exactly where each of your guests are going to sit. Get creative with how you display this at our venue —whether you go for a simple poster, make a shot wall (!), use guest photos, or anything in between.

Chalkboard

Chalkboards are another great way to get creative. Write a saying you both love, an inside joke, a quote from your favorite movie or TV show, or even provide chalk for your guests to sign their own memento.

Monogram

There are several opportunities to incorporate your couple monogram throughout our venue. Get creative behind the bar with either vinyl stickers, paint, or chalk markers. Vinyl stickers are especially super easy to remove!
