Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life. Every little detail matters—the flowers, the dress, the music, and yes, even the signs! One of the first things your guests will see when they arrive is your Wedding board. It sets the tone for your big day and helps guide everyone smoothly.

At Elixir Print, we specialise in high-quality wedding board printing that looks beautiful and lasts. Whether you need a welcome sign, seating chart, or a cute directional sign, we’ve got you covered.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about wedding boards—why they matter, the different types, and how to make yours perfect. Let’s get started!

Why Wedding Boards Are a Must-Have

Think about it—your wedding venue might be big, and guests need to know where to go. A well-designed wedding board:

Welcomes guests warmly – A beautiful sign at the entrance makes everyone feel special.
Guides them smoothly – No confusion about seating, schedules, or directions.
Adds a personal touch – It’s a chance to show off your wedding theme and style.
Makes great photos – Your photographer will love it for those Instagram-worthy shots!

A cheap, flimsy sign can look out of place. But a professionally printed wedding board? It elevates your whole wedding vibe.

Different Types of Wedding Boards (Pick What Works for You!)

Not all wedding signs are the same. Here are the most popular ones couples choose:

Welcome Sign
Placed at the entrance to greet guests.
Often includes your names, wedding date, and a sweet quote.
Sets the mood for the entire event.

Seating Chart
Helps guests find their tables without chaos.
Can be a stylish mirror, acrylic, or wooden board.
Saves your ushers from a million "Where do I sit?" questions.

Order of the Day / Timeline
Lets guests know what’s happening and when.
Great for keeping everything on schedule.
Can include ceremony time, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance times.

Directional Signs
Points guests to key areas: "Ceremony This Way," "Toilet," "Photo Booth."
Prevents lost guests wandering around.
Can be fun and creative ("Cocktails ➔ That Way!").

Table Numbers & Names
Helps guests find their seats easily.
Can match your wedding theme (e.g., travel-themed table names).
Makes the reception feel more organised.

Menu Board
Shows what’s being served (great for dietary info!).
Works well for buffet or cocktail-style weddings.
Adds a classy touch to the dining area.

Still not sure? No problem—we can help you decide!

What Makes a Great Wedding Board?

A stunning wedding board isn’t just pretty—it’s clear, durable, and on-brand. Here’s what to focus on:

Design That Matches Your Wedding
Use fonts and colours that fit your theme (romantic, rustic, modern, etc.).
Keep text easy to read (fancy cursive is pretty but hard to read from a distance).
Add simple decorations (floral borders, minimal illustrations).

The Right Material
Acrylic – Sleek, modern, and elegant.
Wood – Rustic and warm, perfect for barn weddings.
Mirror – Glamorous and eye-catching.
Foam Board – Lightweight and budget-friendly.

Clear & Useful Information
Don’t overcrowd it—stick to key details.
Double-check spellings (especially names and dates!).
Make sure the font size is big enough to read from a distance.

Professional Printing
No blurry text or pixelated logos.
Crisp, vibrant colours that pop.
Smudge-proof and weather-resistant if outdoors.

Common Wedding Board Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

We’ve printed hundreds of wedding signs, and we’ve seen a few slip-ups. Here’s how to dodge them:

Too much text – Keep it short and sweet.
Hard-to-read fonts – Fancy is nice, but clarity is key.
Last-minute orders – Rush printing can lead to mistakes.
Ignoring the venue lighting – Dark text on dark backgrounds won’t show up well.

Our tip? Keep it simple, clear, and true to your style.
