6 Unique Destination Wedding Signs

by DWD Team

If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you know that I love me some destination wedding details.  I’m all about the details no matter how small.  And Destination Wedding Signs are no exception.  In fact, this is one of my absolute favorite details because it’s such a simple, fun, and inexpensive way to weave your personality throughout your big day.

It doesn’t hurt that they’re practical too.  Whether it’s showing your guests to their seats or expressing your gratitude for traveling the distance, a great destination wedding sign can really set the tone for your day.

A sign telling your guests where to go is a very practical detail but you can add a fun spin to it. If you’re the crafty type, you can DIY your wedding sign.  We love this example that shows the guests where to drop off their shoes and where the ceremony will take place.  But it also adds a little fun by saying that there will be “Love Everywhere”.

We all love our phone and sometimes it can feel like it’s a piece of us.  We want to capture all the amazing moments of life to relive them over and over again.  And this is especially true when you’re witnessing such a momentous occasion like a wedding.  But you probably hired a great photographer to document your ceremony and what you want more than anything is for your guests to be present and soak it all in.  Invite your guests to put their phones down and unplug.

Seating Plan Signs

Gone are the days of segregating the groom’s and bride’s families to different sides of the venue – particularly at the more intimate destination weddings.  This is a great way to drive home the idea…

Bar signs are one of the easiest ways to add humor and personality to your wedding. From playful quotes like ‘Drink till he’s cute’ to punny sayings or tropical twists, there are so many fun ways to get creative and make your guests smile while they order a drink. You can DIY or get some really awesome signs on marketplaces like Etsy.

Dancing Shoes Sign

Flip flops (or slippers!) as wedding favors are a total crowd-pleaser—especially at destination weddings. They’re fun, practical, and always in style. I’m convinced the pairs I handed out were the reason every single guest—from kids to grandparents—hit the dance floor all night long at my reception. Just set them out with a cute little sign so everyone knows to kick off their shoes and join the party!

Instagram Wedding Sign

Get a cute printable sign that tells your guests which wedding hashtag to use when they upload your pics to Instagram.  This is a #awesome way to keep track of all your precious photos and share them with friends and family who couldn’t make it to your destination wedding.

Final Thoughts

Every idea I rounded up in this post is merely for inspiration.  You can find lots of signs on Etsy, where you can customize them to match your style.  Because after all, the whole purpose of destination wedding signs is to reflect your personality as a couple.
