What is a standard easel sign?

A standard easel sign is simply a sign that stands on its own using an easel, the same kind you might use to display artwork. The sign is usually rectangular and comes in common sizes like A2 or A3. The material can be a rigid board such as foamex or acrylic, or a framed card if it is indoors and protected.

You will often see an easel sign at the entrance of a wedding venue, holding a welcome message or a table plan. It is a practical way to guide guests without needing a wall or a hook. Because it is freestanding, you can move it easily between the ceremony and the reception, or place it in a garden or courtyard.

When you order an easel sign, you usually choose the sign size and the easel style separately. Some companies sell them as a set, but you can also buy a plain easel and have a sign printed elsewhere. Make sure the easel is stable on the ground, especially if it will be outside. A heavier base or a tripod design works well on grass or gravel.
