Acrylic signs have become quite the wedding and party staple over the past few years! You’ve seen a few of them here on OSBP, from these DIY acrylic cocktail menus four years ago to signs at the paper party during the National Stationery Show. Normally we see clear or solid color acrylic, but lately I’ve noticed a lot of hand painted acrylic for a more modern abstract art-inspired look. I’m absolutely loving this new trend, so I thought I’d round up a few examples to share with all of you!

How stunning is this hand painted acrylic invitation by Swell Press?? It’s seriously a work of art!

I’m not sure if these faux sea glass table numbers by Bash Calligraphy are made from acrylic, but they were too beautiful not to include!

I love absolutely everything about this hand painted acrylic sign by Hawaii Calligraphy, from the white paint and gold lettering to the copper frame and orchids!

So there you go! I think the hand painted look is so fun for modern weddings, but I want to hear what YOU think! Are you digging the hand painted/abstract art-inspired look on acrylic?? Or do you prefer clear or solid acrylic signs?
