Wedding Name Sign With Last Name, First Names, Initials

Using a name sign at your wedding has been trendy as of late. You can use them in a photo backdrop or to help decorate certain reception areas such as the sweetheart table, bar.

Some people want to use a sign for their wedding with a certain phrase or saying. Quotes like “Better Together” and “Happily Ever After” are popular for wedding reception signs.

You’ll find these wedding signs readily available to buy or rent. (check out my article for more sayings for wedding signs)

But for many couples, wedding signs with last name, first names or initials is the way to go. These custom signs are a fun way to personalize your reception decor.

Keep reading for some ideas on how to use your last name, first names or initials in a wedding name sign.

Wedding Name Signs With Your Last Name

A lot of couples want to use their last name in a wedding sign with the word “the” in front – e.g. “The Millers”.

This is a great option, but there are a few more ways to use a last name sign for weddings:

  • the <last name>s
  • the <last name>s, established <date>
  • the <last name>s, established <year>
  • team <last name>
  • mr and mrs <last name>

When you go to order your sign, make sure to preview your lettering first in the exact font that will be used. Some fonts might not read as well as others.

Wedding Name Signs With Your First Names

What if you have an awkward or very long last name? It might not be the best option for a wedding name sign.

Instead, consider using your first names. There are several great ways to do this:

  • <first name> + <heart/and/&> + <first name>
  • <first name> + <heart/and/&> + <first name> + established <date>
  • <first name> + <heart/and/&> + <first name> + established <year>
  • <first name>, <first name>

The heart symbol in between the names can also be a plus sign, ampersand, vertical bar, etc. You’ll want to check with your sign vendor to see what they offer.

Wedding Reception Signs With Your Initials

Finally, for those that don’t want to use first or last names, consider using your initials. This is a more streamlined, modern look.

You’ll find lots of initial wedding signs enclosed in something like a heart or circle. Here are some ideas:

  • <initial> + <initial>
  • <initial> + <heart> + <initial>
  • <initial> + <initial> inside a heart
  • <initial> + <initial> inside a circle
  • <initial> + <initial> + established <date>
  • <initial> + <initial> + established <year>

One thing I like about initial wedding signs is that after your wedding, you can potentially resell your sign to another couple with the same initials.

This might not be as easy to do with a last name sign for weddings. Just something to keep in mind for those on a budget!

Where To Buy Custom Wedding Neon Signs

There’s lots of vendors out there offering custom wedding neon signs. Where should you shop? Here are some recommendations:

When you go to buy your wedding neon sign, be sure to check the following:

  • Font & color
  • Backing
  • Power supply
  • Dimmer
  • Mounting hardware
  • Warranty

A good vendor should explain these things up front before you pay for your custom neon sign. That way, you know what to expect. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re not sure.

A decorated wedding reception area showcases a wooden backdrop with a circular wreath boasting the initials "J A", complemented by elegant neon signs with the couple's last name. The tables are adorned with white settings, candles, and vibrant floral arrangements, including a tall vase of fruits and flowers.
