Weddings seem to come in waves. You will go months or a year without any weddings. Next thing you know, you are invited to three in a row. What if this time, your wedding is one of those three invitations?
How will your wedding stand out?
Top 3 To-‐‑Do’s? Date, ceremony and reception location. Once chosen, you are simply building around that.
Details are very important to you… and why shouldn’t they be? The problem is knowing where to start.
Modern brides certainly think outside the box. Today’s venues include choices such as:
Art galleries
Zoos
Libraries Industrial buildings.
Weddings can often take on a life of their own. You are trying to create a memorable event that showcases both of your personalities and ideals. Think outside the box and find a compromise.
Couples are often exchanging their I do’s in an intimate ceremony, which is then
followed by a lavish reception.
A traditional ceremony can certainly be
personalized. Religious couples
may wish to include their favorite
religious officiate. What if one person is not as religious? For some vow exchanges, modern couples are hiring an additional
officiant.
While it is your special day, why not offer your guests the VIP treatment too? It is easy to do so with a few simple gestures.
Separate locations for your ceremony and reception? You may wish to offer guests transportation. Be sure to put someone in charge of filming the limo/party bus antics; there are sure to be some laughs along the way!
Overnight guests would also certainly appreciate a thoughtful gift bag with some ‘essentials’ including snacks, aspirin and some information on local a\ractions. Don’t forget a handwri\en note!
Thinking outside of the box?
Before booking something adventurous, please keep in mind that some people may not be comfortable with your selection. If possible, allow them some time to decide on how they wish to arrive.
You will be surprised at what some couples offer their guests. Imagine having your a\endees arrive by hayride…or a hot air balloon?
Personalize your event space with treasures. Pictures, treasured mementos and other keepsakes
offer guests a peek into your marriage.
When selecting a bridal party, it may be difficult to create a ‘cut-‐‑off’. For those not in the direct bridal party, why not include them by requesting their assistance as an usher or another important role.
Want to make it extra special? Provide your ushers with a helpful guide and some fun facts about the guests. This creates an easy, free flowing dialogue between two people that may not know each other.
Chances are that some of your wedding’s a\endees have children. If you choose to invite full families, please keep this in mind when se\ing the time and location.
As the night winds down, surprise guests with a parting snack. Taco trucks, warm chocolate chip cookies, ice cream…the options are truly endless. And you don’t have to pick just one!
Once your wedding has passed, it doesn’t mean the memories have to stop. When it comes to public photo sharing, you have many choices so take advantage.
Upload images, videos and songs to your wedding’s website. Combining both professional and candid shots is a great way to showcase your memories.
