What are wedding bar signs ideas?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Wedding bar signs tell guests where to find drinks and what is on offer. They can show the bar location, the drinks menu, or a fun message like "Shake it, don't break it" or "Sip, sip hooray".

Bar signs are practical and can be a lot of fun. A simple sign pointing to the bar helps guests find it quickly. A menu board listing the drinks, such as the signature cocktail, wine, beer and soft drinks, is useful and can look lovely.

You can match the signs to your theme. For a vintage wedding, use a chalkboard or wooden board. For a modern wedding, try acrylic or metal signs. For a garden wedding, a sign on a wooden stake works well.

Wording ideas include "The bar is open, please form an orderly queue", "Drinks for the thirsty, love for the lucky", or "Our favourite bar, open all night". You could also name your drinks after places or memories, and show those names on the sign.

If you have a self-service drinks station, a sign explaining what is in each jug or bottle is essential. For a toast, a sign saying "Please grab a glass for the toast at 3pm" helps guests know what to do.

Make sure the sign is visible from a distance and easy to read in low light. If the bar is outside, choose weatherproof materials.
