What are marquee wedding signs?

Marquee wedding signs are simply the signs you use to help guests find their way and to add style to your marquee. Because a marquee is often set up in a field or garden, guests may need clear directions from the car park to the entrance, and then to different areas inside. Common signs include a welcome sign at the entrance, arrows pointing to the ceremony area, the bar, the toilets, the dance floor and the catering tent, and a seating plan board.

You can make these signs yourself or have them printed. Many couples choose wooden boards, chalkboards or acrylic panels, with wording that matches their wedding theme. You might also use signs for practical messages, such as "Please leave wellies here" or "Photographs are welcome, but please switch off your phone during the ceremony". For a marquee, consider signs that are weatherproof, because they may be outside. Use stakes or stands that can be pushed into the ground, or weights if it is windy.

Think about the flow of the event. Place signs at every decision point, so guests never have to ask where to go. A large seating plan near the entrance is helpful, and smaller table numbers or place cards on each table. You can also use signs to share your story, like a timeline of your relationship or a map of the venue. Keep the wording clear and the font large enough to read from a distance. If you are using a print service, ask about materials that suit outdoor use.
