Sign options for a wedding photo shoot
Among all types of signs, “speech clouds” are the most popular. They make the photo look like a picture from a comic book.

- square with rounded edges;
- stars;
- hearts;
- clouds;
- triangles and rectangles.
Having chosen the shapes of the plates, you should decide on their size . It will depend on the quantity and features of use. Small triangles or squares no larger than the palm of your hand are suitable for the garland. If this is an inscription that guests will hold in their hands, then the size of a standard sheet of paper would be ideal. You can make one large poster for the newlyweds to indicate the importance of the event.
Paper and cardboard are chosen as the accessory material It's easier and cheaper. All you have to do is print out the template with the inscriptions and cut it out along the outline. Less commonly used are plywood, fabric and slate boards. These materials are a little more difficult to work with, but they look better and will last longer. They are especially relevant when planning an outdoor wedding photo shoot. To ensure that it not only takes place, but also allows you to take effective shots, we have prepared several interesting ideas for you. You can find them in another article.
Ready-made signs can be left without holders; guests will hold them in their hands in a way that suits them.
The color of the board should be contrasting with the inscription and visible against the background. The simplest option is white with a bright outline; you can outline it with a marker or print it out. A dark shade (blue or brown) with white lettering looks good. Colored signs should be in harmony with the overall mood of the wedding.
Options for wedding sign holders:
- a wooden skewer, attached to the side or in the center, straight or at an angle;
- a wooden handle-holder for small signs, this is a great idea if you need to hold them in your hands;
- you can hang one or more signs on a string and secure them where guests and newlyweds take pictures.

Each couple has its own zest and history; you can make an individual inscription for everyone - these could be lines from songs that connected their relationship, or inscriptions with jokes about their future family life. The main purpose of speech clouds is to highlight the life of the bride and groom, to display the feelings that float between them. The most popular and used phrases:
- "Sweet love..."
- "Forever together"

Options for the bride and groom:

Funny messages for guests
Here are some options:

- We've waited!!!
- :))))))
- Bitterly!
- We wish you happiness!
- Single
- Want to get married
- Will they feed you?
- We wish you happiness!
- Love
- Good luck
- Good luck
- I'm a guy - no matter where
- Hurry up dancing
- Where is my prince?
- Prince and Princess
- Cool wedding.
Pay attention to the size and color of the font. Words should be visible from a distance and not get lost on colored paper. The larger and brighter the inscription, the better. Avoid combining similar shades, especially red and brown, or blue and green.
Any inscription must first be printed on a ready-made template and only then applied to the board. This is the fastest, but not the most creative way; it leaves no room for creativity either for the young people or for those who came to congratulate them.
If you leave the blanks blank , you can offer the guests colored markers and they themselves will write what they want.
Chalk boards are very convenient for a photo shoot. But this option is not relevant during rain, which will simply wash away all the inscriptions.

More and more couples are allowing guests to choose their own seating these days, so you'll want to consider that as well.
