Make your wedding truly memorable by adding your own personal touches to it

Wedding planning is one of the most stressful tasks anyone can undertake. There are a zillion details to take care of, and it can overwhelm even the most level-headed bride. This is why most couples choose to go with a wedding planner or delegate part of the wedding planning process to someone so they can stay sane.

There is no issue with this as long as you still do your part to ensure your wedding is unique. One of the main problems with delegating party planning and other details is that it can easily become impersonal. If the weddings in your planner’s portfolio look pretty much the same, this should be what your wedding will also end up like.

It is alright if you don’t mind having a wedding that people will soon forget. But, if you want a memorable wedding, which is one that everyone will remember long after the event, you need to inject some personality into your wedding plans. Only then will the memories linger, and you can say that your wedding was a grand success.

Even if you work with a wedding planner or book an all-inclusive wedding package, here are some details you can focus on and add your personal touches to.

Personalize your wedding favours

This is one easy way to ensure your guests will remember your wedding for years. Choose a wedding favour that is representative of the people you are. It could be anything like a traveller’s kit if both of you love travelling, or a CD with your favourite songs if you are avid music fans. Ensure it is not just another pretty-looking favour that matches the party’s theme and can be tossed after use. Instead, choose a practical gift to remind the receiver of the two of you whenever they see it. Personalize it to match the theme of your party, and Voila! You have a gift that makes your wedding all the more memorable.

Involve the guests in an incredibly fun activity

Your wedding is all about you. Nevertheless, make it an exciting and entertaining occasion for your wedding guests by adding an exciting element to it. This could be an instant photo booth that ties to the theme of the wedding. Or it could be a variation to the traditional guest signing booth. You could use our petal wishes kit to have the guests leave their special message for the couple, and they will likely remember spending some time with jotting down a small note for you.

Use your creativity to plan unique additions to your wedding

Think out of the box, and find ideas to inject a unique message into your wedding décor. Display pictures or interesting messages that you can identify with. This is the opportunity to proudly bring forth your family’s traditions, and display it creatively with it. Bring out family heirlooms, add portraits to your décor, or incorporate family dishes into the menu. Some couples choose to even include their furry friends in their ceremony, and even this can be interesting. Just remember to keep it meaningful and well-planned, and you will do it right.

Special Ways to Choose your Bridesmaids

1

Some of the most important people who will be sharing your big day with you are your bridesmaids. They are usually close family members or women who have been standing beside you for a great number of years. If you are looking for a unique way that you can ask them to be a part of your special day, be sure to try out a few of these fantastic options for yourself.

The Ring Pop

This is a fun way to ‘propose’ to your bridesmaids. You simply purchase or create some cute boxes that resemble a ring box and that will be big enough to hold a ring pop. Then you can create labels with the girl’s names on them as well as a cute message on the inside of the box. For even more fun, you can have a small party where you announce your engagement and ask them to be your bridesmaids at the same time.

A DIY Card

With this fun item, you will be doing a bit of crafting on your own. Take some card stock that you can purchase from your local craft store and create a simple card requesting that your friends accept the responsibility of being your bridesmaids. Then you can add a bit of confetti to the card so that it will fly out when they open their card. You should also add some fun envelopes to the mix as well to brighten up the event even more.

Fun Game

2

Gather your bridesmaids for a party at your place. Before they arrive, hide some gifts for each of them around your space with clues that will help them guess their fun surprise. In the end they will have so much fun discovering that you want them to share your special day with them, that you won’t even have to ask the question. This is a fun way to make both the announcement of your engagement and to ask your bridesmaids the question.

Cookie Puzzle

With a little creativity, you can create a special cookie that asks the question for you. Simply print the question on the icing of the cookie and divide it into small pieces. You can then arrange the pieces in such a way that your bridesmaids will need to spend a bit of time rearranging their cookie to find the hidden message. This can be a fun game to play with your bridesmaids and you may even decide to offer a gift for the person who figures it out first.

Conclusion

The women that you choose to stand beside you on your wedding day are important to you. You have chosen them for a reason and are asking quite a bit of responsibility from them. It is important that you make them feel special during this process so that they will understand who important that they are to you. By asking them to be your bridesmaids in a unique way, you will be showing them how much you care.

New Confetti Traditions for Weddings

confetti

For many years, it has been the tradition at weddings to through rice at the bride and groom as they are departing for their honeymoon celebration. However, in recent years, this tradition has somewhat become boring and couples are constantly looking for new ways to celebrate their union.

Over the years, there have been many things that have been used to replace rice throwing at wedding. Below are some of the most popular items as well as a couple that are fun and unique.

Bubbles

1

Instead of throwing rice, many couples have decided to use small containers of bubbles instead. These are great because there is very little work involved with them; you simply throw them into a pretty basket. Also, they do not cause a huge mess as other options do and kids love taking them home for later. This means that there will be very few left over that must then be disposed of or cleaned up.

Confetti

Although it may be more difficult to clean up, confetti can create a beautiful effect for the bride and groom’s departure. It can be created to match any wedding color theme and will be beautiful in pictures. Another fun idea would be to offer the guests party poppers instead that they can launch them as the bride and groom leave as well.

Balloons

2

Balloons are not typically thought of as a wedding item, but they can make for a great way to celebrate as the bride and groom leave for their honeymoon. Each guest can be provided with a balloon that they will release as the bride and groom are exiting the building. Not only will this create some fantastic pictures, but it will be a nice memory of the wedding as well.

Silly String

If you are looking for a unique and fun idea, silly string can also be a fun addition to a wedding reception. Keep in mind that it will be extremely messy, but is also an option that can be very fun. To add even more fun, the bride and groom should have a can or two to defend themselves with as they are leaving as well.

Rose Petals

rose

This is another option that is inexpensive and fun. You can easily find a good number of options at your local flower shops for relatively little money. You can also choose flowers that match your wedding bouquet or the flowers in your wedding as well.

Conclusion

Throwing things at the bride and groom while they are leaving the wedding venue for their honeymoon is a tradition that most couples include with their wedding planning process. It is a fun tradition that can create great pictures and enjoyable memories.
