Ditch the old traditions and bring your families together from the very first moment. This custom "Pick a Seat, Not a Side" sign is the perfect way to encourage open seating at your ceremony. Printed on premium shatterproof acrylic, it sets a warm, inclusive tone, ensuring your guests feel like one big family rather than two separate sides.
Why We Love It
The days of "Bride's Side" and "Groom's Side" are fading. Here is why this sign is a must-have for modern weddings:
-
Encourages Mixing: Weddings are the rare time all your loved ones are in one place. This sign actively encourages college friends to sit next to cousins, starting the mingling before the reception even begins.
-
Solves the "Lopsided" Issue: If one partner has a significantly larger family than the other, traditional seating can leave the church or aisle looking empty on one side. Open seating fills the room evenly, which looks much better in your wide-angle ceremony photos.
-
Wind-Proof Stability: Unlike foam core or chalkboard signs that can easily blow over in an outdoor breeze, our rigid acrylic (especially when placed on a sturdy easel) stays put, ensuring your message remains visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should we place this sign?
For the best flow, place this sign at the "entry point" of your aisle or seating area. It acts as a natural checkpoint where guests pause, read, and then confidently choose their spot.
Does this work for reserved rows?
Yes! Even with open seating, you should still reserve the first 1-2 rows for immediate family (parents/grandparents). This sign handles the general guests, while simple "Reserved" tags on the chairs handle the VIPs.
Can I add our names and date?
Absolutely. While the "Pick a Seat" message is the focal point, we customize the bottom of the sign with your names and wedding date to make it officially yours.
