    It's all up to you.

    Most of it is optional, but off the top of my head:

    Card box, memorial table, guestbook, favors, menu, bathroom baskets.

    there are many ways you could go overboard with this but also make none and things would still happen.

    • wedding this way (those cute rustic arrow pointing signs) if the parking lot is far from front door or confusing
    • programs (or have someone hand them out)
    • please sign guestbook
    • sign for bar drinks - people always want know whats available when they get to the bar!
    • signs to bathrooms -only if they're hidden or confusing
    • photobooth
    • exit w/time- sparklers etc.

    I think Rgeddy gave you a good list. The only other thing I would add would be signs for the bathroom baskets (if you're having them).

    If you are having a buffet, make signs for each menu option to list what it is. Not everything is identifiable on sight. Also, for your bar, make a list of all available choices. If you are having a card box (that is shaped like anything: stack of presents, birdcage, etc), then you need some way to identify that is what it is for. You would be surprised at how many weddings have a simple basket and those same guests would not know what to do with a birdcage or stack of boxes. Honestly, beyond that, signs are not needed for anything, nor will guests be confused if there are no signs.
