easy ways to make your wedding unique
Below are a few fun ideas and products to add to any special day! Do not be afraid to break current traditions, as these risks will surely pay off. Keep in mind that any of these ideas can be altered to fit your taste.
1) Glass mason jars for water: Why waste hundreds of cups or plastic bottles when you can provide your guest with recyclable mason jars? Offering them at dinner with a pen so guests can easily write their names on them. Not only does this save the environment, but it also provides guests with a favor item to take home!
2) Instagram sign with #hashtag: Instagram has gathered well over 200 million users and can be easily connected to twitter, tumblr, and, most importantly, FaceBook. Providing guests with a unique hashtag name allows them to tag the photos of the wedding when they Instagram the beautiful memory. Not only are these photos easily assessable to view on the app itself, but they are also typically added to FaceBook as well. Gathering photos from guests gives the bride and groom a chance to see parts of their wedding party they may have missed. And, who knows, one of these candid photos could trump any your photographer happens to take.
3) Popcorn Bar: Offering a popcorn bar to guests after the formal dinner or dessert is the perfect way to ensure their bellies are full. This simple snack can be amped up by offering varies spices, cheese, and herbs on top. Guests will also not have to worry about destroying their own gowns when nibbling on this snack, for it is essentially stain-free.
4) Ceremony programs with game on back (either suduku puzzles, crossword, etc.): Running a little late on hair and make-up? Can’t find the flower girl? Or worse, the bride? Don’t hesitate to leave your guests waiting a few moments for the ceremony to begin by leaving a fun and easy game on the back of the program! This would not only entertain guests as they anxiously wait in their seats, but it would also be a fun opportunity to share a few fun facts about the bride and groom.
5) Interactive activities: Activities, such as sketching or even fingerprinting, allow guests to leave a memorable impression to any special event. Yes, guest books allow people to express themselves verbally, but why not give them the chance to artistically do so? Plus, this gives younger children a fun activity to do during the party.
