Wedding invitations are often the first look into the details of your wedding for your guests, but wedding ceremony and reception signs are usually one of the first things they are met with on the day itself. This is one of the main reasons why having signage that not only matches your theme and decor, but also represents you as a couple, is so important! You may have recently taken to Pinterest to search out some inspiration on the best wedding signs. Paperlust not only offers wedding welcome signs to greet your guests at your main event, but also offers wedding reception signs that are perfect for guiding your guests through the day from your seating charts to your timeline. With over 250 designs created by independent designers, there is a style and theme to fit every couple. Whether you are looking for a minimal wedding sign, rustic wedding sign, something unique and eye-catching like acrylic, or even a sign in a different language, Paperlust has customizable designs that are guaranteed to fit what you are looking for for your special day.

Welcome Sign Ideas

Your wedding welcome signs not only serve the purpose of welcoming your guests to your event and providing them with helpful information to guide them through your day, but also play an essential part in your wedding decor. Just like taking the time to style your wedding with decor that represents you as a couple, your signs should do the same!

Take your signs to the next level by getting creative with your customisation options and get inspired by some of these wedding welcome sign ideas:

• Personalized wedding signs including a favorite photo of you as a couple
• Funny wedding signs that feature a quote from your favorite television show or wedding related pun
• Wooden wedding signs perfect for a rustic vintage wedding
• Floral wedding signs that suit an outdoor spring or summer wedding
• Mirrored wedding signs that fit with romantic glam decor
• Acrylic wedding signs that are perfect for a modern feel

Already have art ready for the venue? Welcome boards, directional arrows, bar signs, and seating chart prints are a different beast to stationery — they need to be sturdy, weather-resistant, and sized for a crowd. Paperlust's sister site offers a range of printing services for wedding signs for those who have created their own artwork, so every element of your day feels cohesive from the save the date through to the send-off.

DIY Wedding Signs

DIY and handmade wedding signs fill many couple's wedding inspiration boards and often fit nicely into their wedding budget. Depending on what you're looking for, you may be able to have a friend put pen to paper and create a DIY wedding welcome sign, but keep in mind that supplying your own materials to create your wedding sign may end up costing you more than you anticipated when all is finished.

While this do-it-yourself route can be a fun one to take, if you want to check this piece of day-of stationery off of your list with less stress, at Paperlust, we offer a wide selection of customisable templates that give you the DIY feel without really having to do everything yourself! Edit the information on the sign, or make a special request to change an element on one of our many templates, and let us take care of the rest! Wedding signs at an affordable price without the stress (leaving both you and your wedding budget happy!)

Custom Wedding Signs

When it comes to your wedding signs, our selection of templates are a great way to spark inspiration when designing your day-of stationery, but customising these wedding signs are an ideal way to express your personality as a couple. Take your wedding decor to the next level by choosing a unique format such as a wood wedding sign or other format such as acrylic. Not only are you able to customise the wording and font to fit your style, you can add other personal touches such as a favorite photo. When customising our designs, start by seeing what you're drawn to and asking yourself what makes you feel like you.

Inspired by our designs but want to combine different elements to create a one-of-a-kind wedding sign? Start fresh and work alongside one of our professional designers who will help bring your vision to life! Whether customising one of our pre-designed signs, working with a designer, or printing a design you already have on hand, you can trust Paperlust to print and deliver quality, custom wedding signs for your wedding day.

Pre-wedding events

Wedding signs don't have to just be for weddings. You can customise our designs to create engagement party wedding signs or bridal shower/kitchen tea and bachelorette party wedding signs. Your engagement wedding signs and hens party wedding signs don't have to match the rest of your decor. Many couples haven't decided on a theme at this point in the wedding timeline, but if you have, why not create a consistent style right from Day One?

Paperlust without doubt has the best wedding signs for your big day because we are flexible enough to work around you and deliver exactly what you have in mind. Wedding signs for a wedding should make a statement, so browse our exclusive collection by independent artists and see which design stands out to you.

Wedding Directions Signs

Providing the best experience for your guests starts before the wedding date itself from your save the dates, invitations, and RSVPs, but how can you provide a great experience the day of the wedding? Wedding direction signs is the answer!

When guests arrive for your wedding they may be unfamiliar with the area or the venue itself which is why wedding direction signs are so helpful. These signs can help provide immediate answers to questions your guests may have. From signage that ushers your guests to the venue's parking, to pointing them in the direction of where the ceremony will take place, there endless styles of directional signs to answer your guests' questions! Wherever you need to guide your guests, wedding direction signs make it easy for them to find what they're looking for and keep the day stress-free for you and them.

What Wedding Signs Do You Actually Need?

Wedding signs cover a lot of ground — from the welcome sign at the entrance to drink menus at the bar. Here's a breakdown of the most popular types and what each one does:

Welcome Sign

The most essential sign of all. Placed at the venue entrance or ceremony, your welcome sign greets guests and sets the tone for the day. It typically includes the couple's names and the date. Match your signs to your invitation suite

Most popular formats: A-frame easel, free-standing frame, backed foam board, or printed on acrylic.

Seating Chart / Seating Board

Helps guests find their table. Can display names alphabetically or by table. A well-designed seating chart is one of the most photographed signs at any wedding reception. Browse matching seating charts

Bar Menu Sign

Tells guests what drinks are available — especially useful for signature cocktails, wine selections, or dry/non-alcoholic bars. Bar menu signs have become one of the most popular wedding sign styles in 2025–2026. For individual place settings, add matching wedding menu cards

Table Numbers

Small signs (typically 10–15cm) placed on each table. Can be simple numerals or include table names (guest pairings, song titles, favourite places). Paperlust table number signs coordinate with your invitation suite for a cohesive look.

Order of Events Sign

A timeline of the reception displayed near the entrance or bar. Helps guests know when to expect dinner, speeches, the first dance, and the cake cutting. Reduces the number of times you'll be asked "what time's dinner?"

Advice / Wishes Sign

A prompt sign placed near a guest book or cards table, encouraging guests to leave advice or wishes for the couple. Common prompts: "Advice for the newlyweds," "Date night ideas," "Words of wisdom."

Reserved Signs

Small tabletop signs for reserved tables or seats — typically for immediate family, the wedding party, or elderly guests who need particular placement.

Directional Signs

Arrows and text signs that guide guests from parking → ceremony → reception → bathroom → photobooth. Especially useful at larger venues or properties where guests can easily get lost.

2026 Wedding Sign Trends (Australia)

Arched/shaped signs — Arch-shaped welcome signs and seating charts have replaced rectangular formats as the go-to shape for weddings in 2025–2026. The organic silhouette works beautifully with both rustic and modern aesthetics.

Sage & warm neutral palettes — Warm whites, sage green, dusty rose, and terracotta are dominating Australian wedding sign colour palettes this year, moving away from the all-white minimal aesthetic of previous years.

Illustrated botanical details — Custom-illustrated florals, native Australian botanicals (banksia, wattle, eucalyptus), and hand-drawn organic motifs are being used to personalise signs beyond just names and dates.

Bilingual signs — Couples from multicultural backgrounds are increasingly including their family's language on welcome signs — a beautiful way to honour both cultures.

QR code signs — A small but growing trend: QR code cards placed at tables linking to the couple's photo sharing album, allowing guests to upload and access wedding photos in real time.
