To help you develop a more clear point of view of the style of wedding or event you want to host think back to your favorite gatherings and memories…. What stands out as the ’idea’ that transformed that particular party from ‘good’ to ‘GREAT!’ Making an event unique to your personality and expereinces – will make your event more memerable for your guests and you!
Some creative ideas to make it your own:
Instead of wedding cake- stack up some of your favorite Krispy Kreme Donuts
Place cards- choose simple cards and find a family friend that does calligraphy
Table Names- name them after places you both have traveled, favorite movies, or special dates….example…May 4, 2011- First Date
Favors- place a handwritten note on each napkin naming a charity in which you have donated.
Cuisine – include items on the menu that are uniqe to your culture – or simply your family favorites. We had a groom who lived for ‘corn dogs!’ …so we inclued ‘mini corn dogs’ to serve at cocktail hour! … or have the caterer make ‘Grandma’s seceret recepie Pie for dessert!
However you decide to make it your own just remember when the music is over and the getaway car arrives, you’ll be off to Happily Ever After with your husband at last!
