When it comes to designing a cohesive and beautifully flowing wedding day, signage plays a much bigger role than most couples realize. From welcoming your guests to directing them where to go and adding intentional design touches throughout your event—signage matters.

At My Event Buddee, we believe that great signage not only keeps things organized but adds personality and polish to your wedding aesthetic. Whether you’re going minimal or going all out, here’s a breakdown of the must-have signage for your wedding day—and a few nice-to-haves if you want to add that extra layer of detail!

These are the signs we recommend for every wedding, no matter the size, style, or budget:

Directing guests to their assigned seats is key to keeping your reception smooth and stress-free. Whether it’s a classic seating chart, escort cards, or a creative display, this sign helps avoid confusion and awkward traffic jams around the dining area.

Pro tip: Make it double as a design moment! Floral accents, acrylic, mirrors, or bold typography can turn it into a true focal point.

Keep things organized by directing guests where to leave cards and gifts. This small sign prevents people from having to guess—or awkwardly ask around!

If you’re having a guestbook (traditional, audio, or something fun like a photo guestbook), a little signage goes a long way in encouraging guests to participate and letting them know what to do.

Your bar signage can be functional and fun. A list of what’s being served (or what’s not) keeps the line moving, and a signature cocktail sign is a great way to inject some personality. Bonus points if it’s themed around your pets or inside jokes!

These signs aren’t necessary, but they do add an extra layer of polish and personality to your celebration:

If you’re honoring loved ones who’ve passed, a memory table with a framed photo and simple signage is a heartfelt way to keep their spirit present on your day.

These used to be more common, but they're still a great option if you want a phone-free ceremony. A simple sign asking guests to “be present” and silence their devices helps set the tone—just make sure your officiant also gives a gentle reminder.

For large venues or multi-location events, directional signs can be super helpful. Think: “Ceremony This Way,” “Shuttles Depart Here,” or “Restrooms.”

Cute callouts like “Love is Sweet,” flavor labels, or dietary-friendly tags (gluten-free, nut-free, vegan) can elevate your dessert setup and help guests navigate treats.

A stylish way to let guests know what’s coming up and when! These are especially helpful for more casual or non-traditional timelines.

The beauty of wedding signage is that it’s customizable. Whether you want something classic and elegant, playful and bold, or completely custom to match your theme, signage is the perfect place to infuse personality into your big day.
