"Latest Trends in Stylish Reception Sign Designs and Ideas [2023 Edition]"

Reception Sign

Reception signs are popular items that many brides enjoy creating by designing them, printing them on paper, and placing them in photo frames as DIY projects.

There have been various designs for a long time, but in this article, we will introduce stylish ideas that have been frequently seen on Instagram lately and thought were charming ♡

(1) Sepia-Tone Photos

An idea to process photos in sepia tones (a monochrome-like atmosphere) ♡

By removing the color from the photos, you can create a chic and slightly subdued appearance.

A classic choice is to place them in a transparent glass gold photo frame with some whitespace ♡

(2) Only a Part of the Body

It seems quite common to zoom in on only a part of the body in the background photo (without showing the whole body).

Like this, making sure the face is barely visible ♡

From the nose to the chest ♡

The groom can show only his upper body, and the bride can show just the back of her hair ♡

By cutting out a part, it creates a sophisticated and stylish design.

(3) Big Panels

Prepare A1 size big panels for each the bride and groom, and use those as reception signs! ♡

A reception sign that can also serve as a welcome board or photo spot is the strongest ♡

It has a strong presence and is very easy to understand, which will likely encourage guests to take lots of photos♩

(4) Profile Line Art Illustration

Profile line art illustrations of the bride and groom are trending lately.

The simple and sleek style is fashionable ♡

It's common to put names at the top and "Groom" and "Bride" at the bottom.

I want to pay attention to the font too ♡

Adding gold foil as an accent is also a cute arrangement.

(5) Crossing Letters

An idea of spelling their names in Roman letters and crossing the overlapping letters vertically and horizontally is also amazing.

Here,

The groom and his name

The bride and her name

This is an idea to cross the overlapping letters.

You can do it with their names or use "Groom" and "Bride" too ♡

(6) Famous Paintings

Using Monet or Van Gogh's famous paintings as the welcome board is trendy, but...

It’s also lovely to use as the background for the reception sign ♡

It’s also nice to use two favorite paintings, one for the groom and one for the bride.

(The famous paintings in the photo are "Girl with a Watering Can" by Renoir and "Water Lilies" by Monet)

(7) Arch-Shaped

Arch-shaped items are also a recent wedding trend ♡

The key is to vary the height and width of the arch between the groom's paper and the bride's paper.

A cute arrangement is to position them so that they peek from either side of the center arch ♡

(8) Tapestry

It’s common to lay a simple tapestry that looks like home décor on the reception table ♡

The ability to include a lot of text is also a cute point not found in other reception signs.

(9) Connected Letters

Adding curves to "Groom" and "Bride" and placing them side by side creates a design that looks interconnected, which is wonderful, so I picked this out.

The symbols "<<", ">>" also make it easy to distinguish which row is which ♡

(10) Childhood Photos

I also recommend the idea of using childhood photos for the reception sign ♡

Cutting out the photos and matching them with differently colored backgrounds gives a nostalgic feeling of childhood friends and is cute＊

(11) Standing on Cork

Although using photo frames is the mainstream, standing them on cork like this is also casual and stylish.

(It's often seen using illustrations of foreigners, much like snack packaging from abroad ♡)
