A hallmark of rustic style weddings, the pallet sign is as practical as it is cute. This decoration can direct your guests to the ceremony, invite them to sit, or thank them for sharing in your special day. Not to mention, it adds the perfect amount of rustic charm to your wedding. Whether you order one on Etsy or DIY, you can never go wrong with a pallet sign. Here are just some of the many creative ways you can incorporate pallet signs into your rustic style wedding:

If you are looking for a creative alternative to the average guest book, a pallet sign is a great option! Stain and distress the wood for that rustic look, then invite your guests to sign it with a light pen. The result is cute enough to hang in your home!

3. Invitations
When the wedding is over, many couples like to display their wedding invitations in their homes. Instead of framing the original invitation, have the text printed on a pallet sign to be hung up! This design from DesignedWithAmore incorporates a lovely lace border.

4. Photo display
A pallet sign does not always need to have text. Instead, use it as a display case for photos and other mementos. As you can see in the photo below, lace doilies and old frames are a great way to add some vintage charm.
