There are so many ways to incorporate signage into your big day, from displaying your favorite quotes to giving guests directions to different event spaces. Another idea we love? Celebrating your status as newlyweds with Mr. and Mrs. signs (or a variation of the popular option that best suits your relationship). Not only can these types of décor pieces serve a purpose—designating your reception chairs, for example—but they're also just plain fun and a cute way to honor your new titles. For inspiration, look no further than our roundup of pretty and creative Mr. and Mrs. wedding signs.

Let's start with chair decorations, shall we? This couple's matching chalkboard signs helped their head table seats stand out. Similar signs also work for sweetheart tables and can come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and materials. We're big fans of rustic wooden signs, for example, as well as modern lucite ones. But the Mr. and Mrs. sign possibilities don't end there. Instead of attaching your titles to your seats, try hanging them above them or placing them on the table instead. Or, go beyond reception table décor and incorporate the signs into other aspects of your celebration. Ahead, you'll see everything from giant light-up signs lining dance floors to prop-style signs for couples to pose with.

If you plan to change your title after tying the knot, you'll probably want to use it right away. Here, we've offered up some adorable and unique ways to do so. Congrats on the name change!
