Description
A seating chart is the highest-risk piece at a wedding. Every guest reads it, most read it in a queue, and one wrong name gets remembered for years. Meanwhile the welcome sign is leaning in the dark, the menus curl in the humidity, and the table numbers cannot be seen over the centrepieces.
The Signage & On-the-Day Stationery Styling Guide treats signage as the job it actually is. It starts from the guest journey and the question each sign answers, then gives you the working sizes and quantities for the entire on-the-day suite, the materials that suit each piece and what each one does badly, and the stands that keep a heavy sign upright outdoors.

Who it is for
Wedding stylists and planners who supply or install signage, stationers who want a styling-side process, and couples ordering their own signage who want it to look like one suite rather than five.
After you use it, you order the right sizes first time, every name is checked against a single source list, you have written approval before anything prints, and every sign arrives with a stand that matches its weight. No last-minute reprints and no crooked welcome sign in the arrival photographs.
