Large scale events are truly a melding of the most intricate details. It can be incredibly overwhelming to not only for the host in terms of preparation for the big event, but also for those in attendance who actively participate in each aspect. Though we have all attended events enough to anticipate a general flow or timeline, appropriately placed signage continues to provide the easiest way to communicate changes and expectations to guests.
In this modern Pinterest-saturated environment, the most common pressure facing all planners is the need to be unique and original. This is where the popularity of wedding and event signage comes in: it adds a touch of personality and taste to communication in a way that paper products cannot. Unfortunately, many guests pocket or toss printed paper items. Direct your guests well. A smoothly run event is one that grabs attention without a microphone.
At the end of the day, your search for appropriate signage should depend solely on what you wish your attendees to remember. Welcome them, provide a program, point them to specific areas in the room needing their special attention. Treat your guests to directions to the ceremony, reception, or facilities. For weddings, this could look like any or all of the following ideas: guest sign in and present tables, seating charts with name cards or escort cards; table numbers; labels on buffet items, menu or bar signage; cake table quotes; photo booth directions; chair-back signage; ring bearer signs; quotes; and marriage establishments.
We strive to always create products that mirror and match the needs of individual events. See something on social media or other platforms that resonates best with the end result you desire, but the wording, colors, or font do not match your event? Each of these elements can be altered to fit your needs. Each sign’s design is carefully curated, from design concept to final product.
