If you’re planning a unique wedding, you’ll want to incorporate some fun ideas for your big day. Here’s a list of things to incorporate in your unique wedding!
- Use flea market finds as part of your decorations, such as an antique pitcher, mason jars or even an old cowboy boot filled with wild flowers.
- Instead of a traditional guest book, put out a “coffee table” book that has pictures of something you both love and guests can write on photos or in the margins.
- Add a line for a DJ song request to your RSVP cards.
- The weather forecast for your wedding day is hot and blistering? Rent a Sno-Cone machine and chill out!
- Give out sparklers as favors to your guests. This makes for great photo opportunities.
- Not into classical or traditional music? Have the DJ play instrumental versions of your favorite contemporary songs for the wedding ceremony.
- Ditch your fancy wedding dress shoes after the ceremony so you can dance at the reception in cowgirl and cowboy boots! Yee haw!
- Set up a mini photo studio at the reception for guests to ham it up in front of the camera and send photos with your thank you cards.
- Instead of traditional bride and groom cake toppers, make it more personal and representing something you both love as a couple, such as a little dog you love or the Eiffel Tower to celebrate your honeymoon in Paris, or even a big “G” for the Green Bay Packers!
- Decorate the bathrooms with childhood photos of bride and groom.
- At the reception, toast the woman who has had the greatest impact on your life, then hand her your bouquet as a tribute.
- Put crayons and colored paper on the kids’ table.
- Serve non-traditional and fun foods at your wedding dinner, such as Mac n’ cheese, fried chicken, or even French fries.
- Have an ice cream bar for dessert for your guests.
- Tie napkins with satin ribbons, twine for rustic look or even metallic cording.
- Use small horseshoes to keep place cards for guests at tables.
- For your vows, consider words he wrote in a Valentine card, or something from a love note you sent him.
- A decorative, antique brooch turns a simple bridal gown into a look that’s all yours.
- Set up a “farm stand” of fresh fruit and small baskets that guests can fill on their way out the door.
- Stock welcome baskets with a quiz that leads out-of-town guests on a scavenger hunt to your favorite local places, such as a bakery, gift shop or pub.
