Subtle!
And effective.
At some weddings, especially the ones with a larger guest list, I frequently to go the front of the ceremony space with welcoming words and a request to turn off cell phones.
When I saw this photo, I giggled.
It’s perfect. And it gets the word across in an easy and sweet way.
So, consider employing your flower girl(s) or ring boys pre-ceremony to greet guests with signage that works!
