Customize Your Wedding!
Yes, it is your wedding day, but… it is also the biggest party you will ever throw. Why not personalize some touches that show your guests you and your bride or groom’s shared interests!
Personalized Themed Wedding
Theme weddings are a popular way to let everyone know what you two are about as a couple. Love Harry Potter? Place a sorting hat on the reservation table and name your tables after places in the novels. Host a special bar that serves Butterbeer and Harry Potter inspired cocktails. A must have is Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans–create a table with assorted Jelly Bellies, Candy Corn, Caramel Pops, and don’t forget the Gummy Worms! Favors? Wands for everyone! Watch the Harry Potter movies (again), do some research, and your Harry Potter theme wedding will be magical. Star Wars, Star Trek, Minecraft, Disney, whatever you are into can become your wedding!
Personalize Your Send-off
Love sparklers? These days wedding couples aren’t just throwing rice and bird seed out the window, they are doing send-offs celebrated with sparklers. What better way to leave a party than under a canopy of sparklers held by the people most important to you, your guests! Don’t just buy any sparklers, there are sparklers made just for weddings. They are longer, safer, and don’t put out smoke like the shorter, smokier ones. If you search online you will find sparklers that will suit your day. As with any type of fireworks, always be very careful about who is lighting them and who will dispose of them. And don’t forget to get permission from the venue for this special send-off.
Customize Your Guest Tables
Add some fun to the guest tables. Place advice cards on the table–What should they name their dog? Do opposites attract or are they one and the same? Love is never having to….When will the first child arrive? Or just place cards where your guests can write their own marriage advice to the newlyweds. Some will be serious, and some not so serious–all will be fun and interesting for the newlyweds to read throughout the years! Here is a unique idea.
Celebrity Impersonator Entertainment
If the engaged couple are a big fan of a specific singer/celebrity, why not hire a Celebrity Impersonator to attend the wedding and wow the guests? How much fun would it be to have Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson singing and mingling?
Themed Cuisine
If your dream wedding is taking place on a beach, consider having a clambake. If it is a small group, you can set up the tables and chairs and bar on the beach. Off to the side is the sand pit lined with rocks and the clams, lobsters, corn, potatoes, etc. are cooking away while everyone is enjoying the cocktail hour after the ceremony. Once the food is ready, it is placed on a buffet table your guests can enjoy the traditional yummy clambake food. Since you’re already on the beach, how about a firepit and S’mores instead of a cake?
Your wedding day should be personalized to YOU! Make it all about you and your love and what you both love the most!
