Wedding planning is one of the most stressful tasks anyone can undertake in their lifetime. There are a zillion details to take care of, and it can overwhelm even the most level-headed bride. This is why most couples choose to go with a wedding planner or delegate part of the wedding planning process to someone, so they can stay sane.
There is no issue with this, as long as you still do your part to make sure your wedding is unique. One of the main problems with delegating party planning and other details is that, it can easily become impersonal. If the weddings in your planner’s portfolio look pretty much the same, this should be what your wedding will also end up like.
As long as you don’t mind having a wedding that people will soon forget all about, it is alright. But, if you want a memorable wedding, which is one that everyone will remember long after the event, you need to inject some personality into your wedding plans. Only then will the memories linger, and you can say that your wedding was a grand success.
Even if you work with a wedding planner, or book an all-inclusive wedding package for your wedding, here are some details that you can focus on and add your own personal touches to.
Personalize your wedding favors
This is one easy way of making sure that your guests will remember your wedding for years. Choose a wedding favor that is representative of the people you are. It could be anything like a traveler’s kit if both of you love traveling, or a CD with your favorite songs if you are avid music fans. Just make sure that it is not just another pretty looking favor that matches the theme of the party, and can be tossed after use. Instead, choose a practical gift that will remind the receiver of the two of you, every time they see it. Personalize it to match the theme of your party, and Voila! You have a gift that makes your wedding all the more memorable.
Involve the guests in an incredibly fun activity
Your wedding is all about you. Nevertheless, make it an exciting and entertaining occasion for your wedding guests, by adding an exciting element to it. This could be an instant photo booth, that ties to the theme of the wedding. Or it could be a variation to the traditional guest signing booth. You could use our petal wishes kit, to have the guests leave their own special message for the couple, and it is likely they will remember spending some time with jotting down a small note for you.
Use your creativity to plan unique additions to your wedding
Think out of the box, and find ideas to inject a unique message into your wedding décor. Display pictures or interesting messages that you can identify with. This is the opportunity to proudly bring forth the traditions of your family, and display it creatively with it. Bring out family heirlooms, add portraits to your décor, or incorporate family dishes into the menu. Some couples choose to even include their furry friends in their ceremony, and even this can be interesting. Just remember to keep it meaningful and well-planned, and you will do it right.
