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>

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>

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>

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!
