Wedding Tips! These are priceless!
First, let’s talk about the couple…the bride and groom…after all, this IS their special day. So what do you get each other that you can afford (after dropping a huge amount of the wedding!) that will be something to remember forever? How about naming a star after your sweetheart? Go to this website http://www.starregistry.com and you will get all the details. This is truly an eternal gift for under $50!
Are you sick of the same place cards that you see at every wedding? Then do what we did. Get yourself some heavier stock parchment paper. Now lay out on your computer (in a beautiful calligraphy-type font) the menu for the day. Fold it like a pamphlet. Now go to a stationary or paper goods store and find fancy gold-embossed labels. Write each person’s name on the labels and stick onto each menu card. Finish by wrapping them in satin ribbon or white tulle. On the greeting table as the guests walk in, have them laid out alphabetically. The guest’s LOVE this. And this works especially well if your guests have a choice of what they will have for the reception dinner. This way they can plan ahead.
If you are Catholic, you will love this. If you send one of your wedding invitations to the Vatican, along with a donation, they will send you a papal blessing. It takes a couple of months, so if you do it early enough, you can have your best man read it at the reception during the toast.
Don’t have your guests throw rice or confetti at the end of the ceremony…use bubbles! It really has become the new thing for weddings. Here is one of the bottle styles that we have on my website. And you thought all I had on there was unique wedding favors!!!
These are so precious to hand out to the ceremony guests as they come in - especially if you have a cute little boy and girl at the door holding them in a basket. That’s what we did and our guests talked about it for a long time.
This one I love! When we did this, I actually got calls from the guests. Designate one person to take a picture of each guest or couple as they arrive at the wedding reception. When you send out your thank you cards, you include their picture. What a personal touch that your guests will not soon forget.
Are you stuck for a centerpiece that won’t cost you your arm and your groom’s leg? Go to my website and under Mikasa favors, look at the beautiful crystal bowls that are there. They are very inexpensive and make beautiful centerpieces. All you have to do is buy faux or real rose petals (colored to match your wedding party) and floating candles. Fill the bowl with water ¾ full. Float 3 candles and flower petals on the top of the water. Place in the center of each table. Light the candles and take some of the same rose petals and place them on the table, spread around the centerpiece. Absolutely gorgeous!
These are only a few very unique ideas. And speaking of unique…don’t forget to check out our unique wedding favors. There are hundreds to choose from. And if you have a question for me, leave me a message on the site and I’ll get back to you lickety split!
Much happiness coming your way,
