Every design is fully editable in our free browser-based editor and downloads at both 24x18 and 36x24 on a single file. Choose from signature drink signs, cocktail hour welcome signs, bar direction signs, and self-serve signs. Filter by style below.

Cocktail hour is the first stretch of the reception where guests get to relax, mingle, and get a drink, and the signs you set out do the hosting for you while you are away taking photos. Our wedding cocktail hour sign templates cover the whole moment: signature drink signs naming your cocktails, cocktail hour welcome signs, bar direction signs, and self-serve signs for an unattended bar. No Canva account, no Photoshop, no software to install. Customize the drink names, the couple's names, colors, fonts, and layout, then download print-ready files. Whether you are searching for a signature drink sign, a signature cocktail sign, or a simple grab-a-drink sign, every template here is built to be customized in your browser and printed at home or at a local shop. Every design downloads at both 24x18 and 36x24 on a single file.
Clean typography and restrained palettes. For couples with a modern or contemporary wedding aesthetic.
Watercolor florals and soft botanicals. Pairs with garden weddings, vineyard receptions, and floral suites.
Earthy textures, terracotta tones, and hand-drawn details. Great for outdoor and desert receptions.
Formal typography and traditional layouts. Ideal for ballrooms, country clubs, and black-tie weddings.
Warm wood tones and hand-lettered scripts. Perfect for barn and farmhouse receptions.
The signature drink sign is the most requested design in this collection, and for good reason. A well-named pair of cocktails, His & Hers, a nod to how you met, or the drinks themselves, turns the bar into a talking point and doubles as decor in every cocktail hour photo. A signature drink sign names the drink, lists a short ingredient line, and often includes a small illustration of the glass. If you are serving two cocktails, they sit side by side on one sign. Alongside the signature drink sign, this collection includes cocktail hour welcome signs that greet guests as they move from the ceremony, bar direction signs that point the way when the bar is not obvious, and self-serve or grab-a-drink signs for an unattended bar. If you are serving a full range of beer, wine, and spirits rather than a couple of signature cocktails, a bar menu is the better fit, and you will find those in a separate collection.
Cocktail hour signs are printed at poster size and displayed on an easel, usually at the entrance to the cocktail space or beside the bar. Every design downloads at both sizes below on a single file:
24x18 inches: smaller cocktail spaces, or any sign placed close enough that guests read it from a few feet away.
36x24 inches: larger receptions, outdoor spaces, and any sign that has to stay legible from across the room.
Templates can be printed on several materials depending on your aesthetic and venue:
Standard cardstock (100lb to 110lb). Cheapest option, requires a frame for display. Print at home or at any print shop. $5 to $25 depending on size.
Foam board mounting. Self-supporting on an easel without a frame. Most popular option. $35 to $65 at print shops for 36x24.
Acrylic. Modern and elegant, and a lovely upgrade for a signature drink sign that will feature in photos. $80 to $200 at sign shops.
Most couples choose foam board for the best balance of cost, ease of display, and visual quality, with acrylic as a photo-friendly upgrade for the signature drink sign. For an outdoor cocktail hour, choose acrylic, since foam board and cardstock warp in rain and humidity. Set the signs out before guests arrive from the ceremony so the space is ready when cocktail hour begins.
Name the drink, then keep it short. The most common format is a playful title, the cocktail name, and a one-line ingredient list. A few examples of wording couples use:
Titles: “His & Hers,” “The Happy Couple,” “Signature Sips,” or simply “Our Signature Drinks.”
Format per drink: the drink name, then a short ingredient line such as “bourbon, ginger, lime.”
Self-serve: “Grab a drink and find your seat,” or “Help yourself, the bar is open.”
Guests only need to know roughly what they are ordering, not the full recipe, so keep the ingredient line simple. Confirm the drink names and spellings with whoever is running the bar so the sign matches what guests actually receive.
Pick a template that matches your wedding invitation suite. Filter by style above (Minimalist, Floral, Boho, Classic, or Rustic) so the cocktail hour signs coordinate with the rest of your stationery.
Open the template in our free browser-based editor. Add your signature drink names, ingredients, and any bar instructions. No account, no software, no Canva.
Pull color codes from your wedding invitation suite so the signs match exactly.
Choose your size. Use 24x18 for smaller cocktail spaces or signs read from a few feet away, and 36x24 for larger receptions or signs read from across the room. Both sizes come on the same file.
Download the print-ready PDF at 300 DPI. Print at home if you have a large-format printer, or send the file to a local print shop for foam board or acrylic mounting.
Set the finished sign on an easel at the entrance to the cocktail space or beside the bar. Finalize 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding, once your bar package and signature drinks are confirmed.
Cocktail hour signs are one of the seven signs most couples print for the wedding day. The Wedding Signs (7-Piece) bundle includes this design alongside the other six at a lower combined price. As guests move through the day, most couples pair cocktail hour signs with wedding ceremony signs before the vows, wedding welcome signs at the entrance, and wedding reception signs inside. If you are serving a full drink list, add wedding bar menus, and for the seated dinner, wedding menus. Browse the full Ceremony & Reception collection.
Most couples use two to four. A signature drink sign naming one or two cocktails is the most popular. Add a cocktail hour welcome sign if the space is separate from the ceremony or reception, a bar direction sign if the bar is not obvious, and a self-serve or grab-a-drink sign for an unattended bar. If you are serving a full drink menu rather than a couple of signature cocktails, use a bar menu instead.
A signature drink sign highlights one or two special cocktails chosen by the couple, often with a fun name and a short ingredient line, and acts as decor as much as information. A bar menu lists the full range of what is available (beer, wine, spirits, and mixers) so guests can see all their options at once. Cocktail hour signs on this page cover signature drinks and welcome signage. For a full drink list, see our wedding bar menus, which are built for that job.
Cocktail hour signs are printed at poster size and displayed on an easel. Every design downloads at both 24x18 and 36x24 inches on a single file. Use 24x18 for smaller cocktail spaces, or for any sign guests read from a few feet away, and 36x24 for larger receptions, outdoor spaces, and any sign that has to read from across the room. Both sizes come on the same file, so you are not choosing at checkout.
Name the drink, then keep it short. A common format is a playful title (His & Hers, The Happy Couple, or the drink's name), the cocktail name underneath, and a one-line list of the main ingredients. Many couples add a small illustration of the drink. If you are serving two signature cocktails, put them side by side on one sign. Keep the ingredient line simple, since guests only need to know roughly what they are ordering, not the full recipe.
You can print at home if you have a large-format printer that handles 24x18 or 36x24, then mount the print on foam board for an easel. Most couples send the file to a local print shop instead. Print shops typically charge $15 to $35 for paper printing and $35 to $65 for foam board mounting, which is self-supporting on an easel without a frame. For an acrylic signature drink sign that will feature in photos, use a sign shop.
Finalize them 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding, once your bar package and signature drinks are confirmed with your caterer or venue. Cocktail hour signs do not depend on RSVP counts, so you can design them as soon as you know what you are serving. Confirm the drink names and spellings with whoever is running the bar so the signs match what guests actually receive.
