If you’ve been browsing around online looking for wedding ideas and inspiration, then odds are you’ve come across the always-popular neon signs at one time or another. For one, when paired with a nice backdrop, they definitely create a lovely photo opportunity! Plus, as evidenced above with the table numbers, you’ll also be glad to know that there are no shortage of possibilities to consider. For instance, let’s take a look at a few examples. An easy one would be to go with something unique to you and your partner, so “The -Insert Last Name-’s.” Another popular option that many couples choose is a catchy wedding-related phrase. “Better Together” and “Te Amo” are a couple of great ones that you can’t go wrong with!
