Wedding signs and banners are trending in a big way right now. They are cute, chic, and a lot of times have a funny, witty, and quirky edge to them. If you personalize them to your wedding day or theme then they often make the best keepsakes. You can get them custom-made just for you by your wedding stationer, purchase them on Etsy, order them online, or even DIY yourself.

With so many great options out there it’s hard to pick our favorites, but we managed to narrow it down to a selection to show the range and variety out there for you and the options available for your wedding or event. Take a look to get inspired!

These signs will direct the guests where to go for various activities and events surrounding the wedding. The top one takes a witty approach by using imagery, the bottom with unique wording.

The classic “Here Comes the Bride.” Often displayed around the ring bearer’s neck, or another young member of the wedding party, this sign gets a lot of “oohhs, and ahhs” for the adorable cute-factor!

Chair signs are popular and make great photo-ops!

These two signs make great displays for the wedding, and a work of art to display later at home. They could also both be used as guest books for friends and family to sign.

This huge piece of typography was used as an altar piece and is quite impressive, a true work of art!

Essence of Events, LLC has some suggestions f you are looking for something a little more heartfelt, lasting and keeps on giving. When selecting gifts that will keep on giving ,it is important to focus on what matters to you both as a couple, and individually. If for instance you are environmentally conscience, then several options present themselves to the eco-friendly bride. Maybe you are an avid gardener, or really into organics, herbs would be a great choice.

Another great option for organic lovers are vegetable starter favors.

Perhaps you’re more into flowers. Miniature succulents or daisies would make pretty gifts for your guests.

If you’re into camping or love the great outdoors, then a unique favor for your guests would be tree seedlings. This would enable your guests to plant a memory that would last a lifetime.

If nature isn’t your forte, there are still lasting heartfelt favor options for you. On a day when you are being showered with gifts and love, it will do your heart good to give a little back.
