What is a wedding day all about? Well, it should be about two people coming together, promising that they’ll love one another for the rest of their lives, and having a celebration to acknowledge that, and if that’s your plan, it’s undoubtedly a good one!
So, although the vows being exchanged and sharing your joy with loved ones is definitely at the heart of everything, it’s also a nice thing if you can add some extra special touches to make the occasion all that more memorable for everyone involved – including you. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at the kinds of things you might want to include.
Personalized Touches
Something that’s always great to do is to infuse your wedding with as many personal little touches as you can – in whatever way you can (as long as it works with your theme, of course – that’s important to keep in mind). Whatever you decide to include, these personal touches should reflect your love story, and perhaps show something of your personality as well, so it could be something like monogrammed decor, signature cocktails with names that mean something special to you), or perhaps a unique playlist for the party.
It’s these personal and personalized details that people are going to remember, especially if there’s any kind of emotional pull linked to them, so don’t be shy about letting people know who you are and what your love is all about.
Interactive Entertainment
It’s great to give your guests some entertainment at your wedding because even though the day is all about you, that doesn’t mean you should be the only thing people focus on. If you give them some options, it all becomes a lot more fun for everyone – and more memorable. Plus it means there’s less pressure on you if people are doing their own thing thanks to the entertainment you provide.
You could hire a photo booth, for example, which is something people love as they can dress up and be silly or get some wonderful snaps with people they don’t see all that often. Plus you get to keep copies of the photos so you’ll have a fantastic way to remember the day as well. Or what about lawn games (if you’ve got the outside space), a great DJ who gets everyone dancing, or a magician who goes from table to table wowing people?
Unusual Favors
Wedding favors are a lovely little extra that the happy couple give their guests – it’s like a small token of thanks for coming to the wedding and being part of the big day. Most of the time these favors are quite standard, but if you want to make your wedding day more memorable, why not choose something more out of the ordinary?
You could opt for locally sourced treats like chocolate or honey, for example, handmade candles, or something that’s personalized so people can keep them as a reminder of the great time they had at your wedding. The good news is there are many different options for you to choose from, so it’s wise to start thinking about favors early on in the process to make sure you get what you want.
