This Thursdys finds feature worded signs. My husband and I made our own wedding signs for our outdoor wedding. And I was looking at our wedding photos AGAIN and thought, “this would be a great idea to post a blog about.”

Since outdoor weddings seem to be a trend everywhere, makeing or buying these adorable items add such great character. Whether you are having your wedding at home, an outdoor venue, private residence or at the beach. Use them as a prop in photos, or to direct your guests, set them up at the reception, hang them from your chair with ribbon.

 One of the signs we made for our wedding sits in the garden now as a precious keepsake. 

I picked out some great designers to showcase some examples for you. You can always be the DIY type and go out to grandpa’s wood-shop, get some wood and paint and make them yourself! Have fun with this, I hope this inspires you.

You can find any of these signs from the following Etsy Shops, both can and will custom design them for you!
