When planning your wedding, choosing the right size for your signage can make all the difference. Whether you’re welcoming guests, guiding them to their seats, or displaying your drinks menu, your signs need to be the right size to be seen, suit your venue, and work with your styling.
Not sure where to start? Here's a simple UK-based guide to help you pick the perfect size for each type of sign on your big day.
📏 Wedding Sign Size Guide (UK)
Welcome Sign
Recommended Sizes: A1 or A0
Why: This is the first thing guests will see, so it needs to make a statement. A1 is the classic size for most weddings, while A0 is perfect if you’re styling a large venue, want it to really stand out in photos, or simply love a bold display.
Order of the Day
Recommended Size: A1 or A2
Why: Choose A1 if you have a detailed timeline or want the sign to be easily visible from a distance. A2 works well for simpler schedules or more intimate weddings.
Seating Plan
Recommended Sizes: A1 (for 80+ guests), A0 (for 120+ guests or statement styling), or A2 (for small weddings)
Why: The more names you have, the more space you'll need. A1 is the most popular, but A0 gives you extra breathing room for larger guest lists or creative layouts. A2 is ideal for intimate weddings with fewer tables.
Unplugged Ceremony Sign
Recommended Size: A2
Why: You want this message to be visible but not intrusive. A2 offers the perfect balance - noticeable, but not dominating the ceremony space.
Signature Drinks / Bar Signs
Recommended Size: A3 or A4
Why: These signs are usually placed on tabletops or bars. A3 is ideal for a drinks list or illustrations, while A4 works perfectly for simple designs.
Sweet Table or Favour Table Sign
Recommended Size: A4
Why: Small and sweet - just like the table itself. A4 is big enough to catch the eye without taking over the display.
Table Numbers & Place Cards
Recommended Size:
- Table Numbers: A5 or tented designs
- Place Cards: Business card size (9 x 5 cm)
Why: These signs are meant to complement your tablescapes. Keep them elegant and proportionate to your table decor.
💡 Bonus Tips:
Go big for bold styling: A0 signs make a serious impact and are perfect for photo moments.
Consider your easels or frames: Make sure the size you choose fits your display options.
Match your aesthetic: Minimalist signs can feel lost if too small, while floral or illustrated signs need space to shine.
