Wedding Reception Signs
Wedding reception signs handle all the little messages that keep your reception running and personal: where to leave cards and gifts, a note to unplug for the ceremony, the guestbook, a tribute to loved ones, favors to take home, and the send-off. This collection gathers the reception signs that do not have their own category into one place, each fully editable in our free browser-based editor and downloadable at both 24x18 and 36x24 inches. Filter by style below.
About Our Wedding Reception Signs
Wedding reception signs are the small, useful, personal touches that keep a reception running and make it feel like yours: the note showing guests where to leave cards and gifts, the ask to unplug during the ceremony, the invitation to sign the guestbook, the tribute to loved ones who could not be there, the favors to take home, and the send-off at the end of the night. Some reception pieces, the welcome sign, the seating chart, the bar menu, the table numbers, are big enough to have their own dedicated designs. This collection gathers all the other reception signs, the ones without their own category, into one place so they are easy to find and match. Every sign is fully editable in our free browser-based editor, with no Canva account, no Photoshop, and no software to install. Customize the wording, your names, colors, and layout, then download print-ready files at both 24x18 and 36x24 inches.

Types of Wedding Reception Signs
This collection covers the reception signs that round out your day, each fully editable and easy to match to the rest of your signage:
Cards and gifts: over the gift table, showing guests where to leave cards and presents.
Unplugged: asking guests to put phones and cameras away, usually for the ceremony, so the photographer gets clear shots.
Guestbook: inviting guests to sign the book, a print, or an alternative guestbook.
In loving memory: a tribute to family and friends who have passed, often displayed near the entrance or the ceremony.
Favors: at the exit, letting guests know to take a favor on their way out.
Send-off: directing the sparkler, petal, or bubble send-off at the end of the night.
Custom: any other message your reception needs, from a bar direction to a hashtag or a dinner note.
For the larger reception pieces, see their dedicated collections: wedding welcome signs, wedding seating charts, wedding bar menus, and wedding table numbers. They coordinate with these signs in every style.
Sizes and Display Materials
Reception signs are displayed indoors on an easel, and every design downloads at both sizes below on a single file:
24x18 inches: a tabletop sign on a small easel, such as a cards and gifts, guestbook, or favors sign.
36x24 inches: a larger statement sign, or one that needs to be seen across the room.
Because these signs sit indoors, you can choose the material to suit each sign's size and prominence:
Cardstock (110lb) in a frame. The most affordable option, ideal for smaller tabletop signs.
Foam board. Light, rigid, and inexpensive, good for larger signs on a floor easel.
Acrylic. A premium, modern look for a statement sign such as a welcome-style or in-memory piece.
Print at home on cardstock, or send the file to a local print shop or online printer for foam board and acrylic. A tabletop easel suits the smaller signs, and a floor easel suits the 36x24 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What signs do I need at a wedding reception?
Most receptions use a mix of practical and personal signs. Common ones include a cards and gifts sign over the gift table, an unplugged sign asking guests to put phones away, a guestbook sign, an in loving memory sign honoring those who could not be there, a favors sign at the exit, and a send-off sign for sparklers or petals. Bigger pieces like the welcome sign, seating chart, bar menu, and table numbers usually have their own dedicated designs, which you can find in the Ceremony and Reception collection and coordinate with these.
What is the difference between reception signs and the welcome sign or seating chart?
The welcome sign, seating chart, bar menu, and table numbers are large, high-profile pieces that each have their own dedicated category on our site because couples shop for them specifically. Wedding reception signs, as a collection, gather the many smaller signs that round out the day, cards and gifts, unplugged, guestbook, in loving memory, favors, and send-off, into one place. They all coordinate in the same styles, so you can match a cards and gifts sign here to your welcome sign and seating chart from their own pages.
What size are wedding reception signs?
Every design downloads at both 24x18 and 36x24 inches on a single file. Use 24x18 for a tabletop sign displayed on a small easel, such as a cards and gifts or guestbook sign, and 36x24 for a larger statement sign or one that needs to be seen across the room. Because the two sizes are on one file, you can print the same design at whichever size suits each spot at your reception.
What material should I print reception signs on?
Reception signs are displayed indoors on an easel, so you have several good options. Cardstock (110lb) in a frame is the most affordable and suits smaller tabletop signs like cards and gifts or guestbook. Foam board is light, rigid, and inexpensive for larger signs on a floor easel. Acrylic gives a premium, modern look for a statement sign. Print at home on cardstock, or send the file to a local print shop or online printer for foam board and acrylic. Match the material to the size and prominence of each sign.
Can I customize the wording on a reception sign?
Yes. Every template is fully editable in our free browser-based editor. Change the wording, your names, the fonts, and the colors, so a favors sign can become a send-off sign, or a cards and gifts sign can carry your exact phrasing. This is also how you build a matching set: duplicate one design and reword it for each sign your reception needs, so the cards and gifts, unplugged, guestbook, and favors signs all share the same look. No account or design software is required.
Do the reception signs match the rest of my stationery?
Yes. Each style here, Minimalist, Floral, Boho, Classic, and Rustic, uses the same design language as the matching invitation suite and the rest of the day-of signage, so your reception signs coordinate with your welcome sign, seating chart, menus, and table numbers. Filter to your style, then carry the same colors and fonts across every sign. Buying your signage in one style is the simplest way to make the whole reception feel like one intentional design.
