At Tidewater and Tulle, we've been crafting Cricut wedding projects and sharing expert DIY advice since 2016. From welcome signs to seating charts to chair signs, we've seen (and made!) it all. In this guide, we're sharing the most popular Cricut wedding sign ideas, must-have materials, and top FAQs couples ask when making their own wedding signage — perfect for planners, Pinterest, and your big day.
The Easiest Cricut Wedding Signs You Can Make
1. Welcome Signs
A large acrylic or wood sign at the ceremony or venue entrance that says "Welcome to Our Wedding" (often with the couple’s names and date) is without a doubt the #1 Cricut wedding sign. And for good reason! It's how you greet your guests and is the best visual to introduce them to your wedding personality and theme!2. Unplugged Ceremony Signs
A popular modern wedding sign that you see a lot more these days is the unplugged ceremony sign. It's increasingly becoming more important to couples in this techy age to request that their guests put away their phones for the vows. So if this aligns with your values, this is one to put on your DIY list!
3. Seating Charts
For Cricut brides and/or grooms, adhesive vinyl letters on mirrors, clear acrylic panels, or foam boards are popular. These often read "Find Your Seat" or a personable phrase with guest names listed alphabetically or by table. But we are also seeing fabulous creative ideas going beyond the typical such as using false walls, custom-built displays, and other multi-purpose furniture pieces to act as the seating chart. You'll see some examples in this post! Oftentimes these are rented by a local rentals company, so don't worry if you're not a carpenter! You have options.4. Table Numbers
These are our personal favorites as we have quite a few DIY wedding table number tutorials on Tidewater and Tulle! These small tabletop signs for each reception table communicate to your guests where to go as well as helping your catering professionals know who is where. We absolutely believe anything can be turned into a table number — wood blocks, acrylic stands, upcycled picture frames, or even glass water carafes!
5. Bar or Signature Drink Signs
A trendy favorite! "His & Hers," "Hers & Hers," "His & His," or custom cocktails displayed on acrylic, chalkboard, or fabric signs with fun illustrations cut from printable vinyl or iron-on. It goes without saying that we absolutely condone signature cocktails being named after pets. Heck yes to Pickles' Punch!6. Guest Book Signs
Simple and sweet: "Please Sign Our Guest Book" tabletop signs can be made with elegant fonts and minimal designs. Or modernize it with your own clever phrase, especially if you're doing an alternative guest book setup.
7. Directional Signs
If you're having an outdoor wedding or a wedding that spans multiple areas, directional wedding signage is a must! These can literally point guests toward the ceremony, cocktail hour, or restrooms. The charm and warmth of wood tends to be a favorite for these as it can match the rustic vibe. These are often made with permanent vinyl or heat transfer vinyl.
Best Blanks and Materials for Cricut Wedding Signs
Choosing the right material depends on your theme and venue. Here are favorites amongst us and Cricut brides (and yes, even grooms!):
• Acrylic sheets (clear, frosted, mirrored, or colored) – sleek and modern
• Wood boards or slices – perfect for rustic, boho, or outdoor weddings
• Foam board or poster board – budget-friendly and lightweight
• Mirrors – chic, glam, and repurposable
• Glass frames – easy to find and great for layering vinyl on both sides
• Cardstock – ideal for experienced crafters as it can include layered 3D signs or delicate details
• Fabric - great for transporting to destination weddings
You Asked, We Answer: Top Cricut Wedding Sign Questions
Which Cricut machine is best for wedding signs?
The Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore (from any generation) are ideal because they are the widest tabletop cutting machines and have the largest material width that can be cut, especially when wedding signage can sometimes be quite big! (There is also the Cricut Venture, but we don't usually recommend this one for beginners as it's a whole different kind of machine setup.)
These machines also support Cricut's Smart Materials like Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron-On that don't require cutting mats, so you can make even longer signs as these materials can cut up to 12 foot long!
Can I make acrylic wedding signs with Cricut?
Yes! Use removable or permanent adhesive vinyl on acrylic sheets for a clean, modern look. A lot of DIY couples either like to paint the backside with acrylic paint, leave it clear, or purchase pre-cut, colored acrylic sheets. And if you have a machine from the Cricut Maker family, you can also etch acrylic using the engraving tip for your smaller tabletop wedding signs like table numbers.
What kind of vinyl do I use for wedding signs?
For regular adhesive vinyl, removable vinyl is the one we recommend most because it helps you upcycle your wedding signs into something else without leaving an adhesive residue. Permanent vinyl also works and is the best choice for signs that need to withstand any potential water contact. Either works! We also love Cricut's Value Vinyl as it comes with a translucent backing sheet that can help lining up multiple pieces a breeze in a large sign design.
If you are using wood blanks for signs, consider using heat transfer vinyl (HTV) instead. Regular adhesive vinyl sometimes has a hard time sticking to wood if there's a chemical treatment on it or it hasn't been super-smoothed with a sander. You would need to have a household iron or an EasyPress to apply it, but it works wonders for tricky wood textures! And if you're using fabric for a romantic aesthetic, you definitely need to use HTV.
How do I put the vinyl onto my wedding signs?
For adhesive vinyl, you'll want to place transfer tape over your design, burnish (or rub) it with a scraper tool, and peel it off from the vinyl backing sheet. Your signage design should be fully on the transfer tape, ready to be placed on your sign blank. If you use a shimmer vinyl, you'll need to use StrongGrip transfer tape as the regular kind won't work. Use guides, rulers, or even laser levels for perfect placement. Nothing wrong with eyeballing it as well! If placing this on a painted sign, make sure your sign has dried for its whole curing time (see your paint's notes for this information) as transfer tape can sometimes peel off finicky paint.
For HTV, you'll need to use a household iron or heat press as its adhesive is activated by heat. No transfer tape needed for this one!
Do I need to seal my Cricut wedding signs?
Not for most wedding signs as these are temporary installments and usually not subjected to the weather elements! For wood signs that will be left outside and may be exposed to rain, yes, you use a clear, matte sealant like Polycrylic. For acrylic signs, sealing is not necessary as you should use permanent vinyl for outdoor signage which is water-resistant.
Cricut Wedding Sign Font and Design Tips
We know people love to know about Cricut wedding fonts because our post about it is very well-loved according to Google! So be sure to read that one, but for now, you can catch the highlights here:
• Pair script or cursive fonts with sans serif fonts for elegance and readability.
• Use SVG files from trusted sources like Cricut Contributing Artists, Etsy, or design marketplaces. (Be sure they've been tested for cutting compatibility as not all fonts and designs are created equal!)
• Stay on-brand with your wedding theme's color palette and motif.
• Design a mockup of your layout in Design Space before cutting to avoid material waste.
Cricut wedding signs are more than just pretty decorations — they’re functional, memorable, and a great way to make your wedding uniquely yours. With a bit of planning, the right materials, and your Cricut machine, you can create stunning signage that guests will love (and compliment!).
