Frequently asked questions
What makes wedding order of the day wording effective on the day?
Use the sign or ceremony wording to label and introduce the day's schedule. Keep the message short enough to understand at a glance and make the requested action, location or meaning immediately obvious.
How many timings should an order-of-the-day sign show?
Include the main guest-facing moments, such as ceremony, drinks, meal, speeches, first dance and finish or transport. Too many minor timings make the sign harder to scan.
How much text should I use for wedding order of the day?
For wedding order of the day, aim for a heading plus one short instruction or explanation whenever possible. Wedding sign, ceremony stationery, table sign or reception display is the right setting for the message; move background detail to the website or programme so guests can understand the sign in a few seconds.
