Where can I find cheap wedding signage?

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

Short answer

You can find cheap wedding signage by making it yourself, borrowing from friends, or buying second hand from other couples. Charity shops, craft shops and online marketplaces often have frames, boards and stands for very little.

The cheapest option is usually to make signs yourself. Use materials you already have, like old frames, cardboard or wood offcuts. Print wording at home or at a local print shop. You can also buy plain chalkboards or acrylic sheets and write on them with chalk markers or paint pens.

Borrowing is another great way to save. Ask friends or family who have recently married if they still have their signs. Many couples are happy to lend or pass them on. You can also join local wedding groups or online marketplaces where people sell used signage for a fraction of the original cost.

Charity shops are worth a look for frames, easels and small boards. You can repaint or reframe them to match your theme. Craft shops sell plain wooden letters, stencils and paint that let you personalise cheaply.

If you want a professional look without the cost, keep your signs simple. A clean design with good spacing looks more expensive than a busy one. Use one or two colours and a single font. You can also print large sheets of paper and mount them on foam board, which is a low cost way to get a polished finish.

Remember that you do not need many signs. Cutting the number of signs is the easiest way to cut the cost.
