Dollar Store Frames for Menus, Signs & Seating Charts

 Dollar Store Frames for Menus, Signs & Seating Charts




Weddings are full of beautiful details—menus, welcome signs, seating charts, signature drink lists—but printing and framing them all can really add up! Thankfully, you don’t need to spend a fortune. Dollar store frames are an absolute game-changer for creating stylish wedding signage on a tight budget.





🖼️ Why Use Dollar Store Frames?



  • They’re budget-friendly – Often $1.25 to $4 each.
  • They come in multiple styles – Gold, silver, rustic wood, or sleek black.
  • Easy to DIY – Pop in your own printed sign and boom—done!






📋 What Can You Frame?



  1. Seating charts
    Print your seating chart in sections and display in multiple matching frames for an elegant look.
    Pro tip: Spray paint mismatched frames one color for cohesion.
  2. Menus
    Place one menu frame at each table or a large one at the buffet or dinner entrance.
  3. Welcome sign
    Frame a sweet “Welcome to Our Wedding” message at the ceremony or reception entry.
  4. Signature drink list
    Display a framed cocktail menu at the bar with cute illustrations or font styles.
  5. Unplugged ceremony sign
    Let guests know you’d prefer them to put phones away—tastefully framed, of course.
  6. Memory table or tribute signs
    Honor loved ones who can’t be there with a short message and photo in a beautiful frame.






🛠️ How to Dress Them Up:



  • Add ribbon, twine, or faux greenery to the frame edges.
  • Place frames on easels, small wooden stands, or prop them against a centerpiece.
  • Use chalkboard paint inserts if you want a hand-written feel.

The Budget Wedding

  The Budget Wedding: A Beautiful Day Without the Debt Weddings are magical, memorable—and often, massively expensive.

Sadly, it’s not uncommon for newlyweds to start their marriage already in debt, all in the name of one perfect day. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here’s how to plan a wedding you’ll love, without a price tag you’ll regret. Step 1: Prioritize What Really Matters Before you book anything, sit down with your partner and ask: What do we care about most? What do we want guests to remember?

It was at a campground, tucked under the wide branches of an oak tree, twinkling with fairy lights. The couple said their vows surrounded by nature, shared BBQ for supper, and ended the night with guitars and laughter around a campfire. It was magical, relaxed, and most of all—affordable. If you’re dreaming of a beautiful day without the steep venue price tag, here are some creative, memorable, and budget-friendly locations to consider.  1.
