#3. Fun Signage

No wedding is complete without some spice and fun element to it and quirky signboards can surely add to this. The latest trends include using themes related to Bollywood, social media, TV series and so on and these do not fail to spark conversations between guests too. Interesting signboards are often used to hang signs related to the couple’s personalities or convey a message. You will also see them used creatively to place signs around the venue-directions, messages or just to decorate. 

#4. Wish Corners

 Make an interesting corner with family photographs and a book for guests to write their wishes for the couple. You can also put out a Polaroid camera for guests to add their photos! Or hang framed photos of both the families from a tree.
