Reflecting on all of the weddings you have attended in your
lifetime, I am sure we can all agree that we have been to the standard
cookie-cutter wedding. I’m talking
church ceremony at 5 pm where the church looks like a Sunday mass just let out,
followed by a minimally decorated reception at a venue down the street. Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely
nothing wrong with this wedding, but also nothing spectacular about it. If you can’t remember any amazing
detail that stood out to you at the wedding or reception (and not because of
the open bar), then we’ve got a problem.
There are tons of simple ideas that won’t break the bank that you can
incorporate into your wedding to make it memorable and wedique!
o Guest book. When I go to a wedding one thing I can count on for sure
being there is the guest book.
Honestly deep down, I loathe this part of the event. My brain is picked for some sappy
sentimental sentence of well wishes to write to the couple. All of the postings end up sounding
very alike, and then the bride and groom are stuck with a huge book of well
wishes to do….what with? A great
alternative to a guest book that I found on Pinterest (of course), is
purchasing a plain colored puzzle.
At the reception, have the puzzle pieces broken up scattered all around a table. Have each guest sign a
piece of the puzzle, and after the wedding frame the completed puzzle and hang
it in your home. Ta da…wedique!
o Wedding favors. What was the wedding favor you received from the last
wedding you attended? Better yet,
where is it? Good question… Wedding
favors are another cost in your budgeted wedding, so if you are going to spend
valuable money on them you should give something memorable. I came across these perfect koozies on
Pinterest that say “To have and to hold and to keep your beer cold”…wedique!
o Bathrooms. They always say that the two biggest memories from an
event are the food and bathrooms.
Was the food good and did you have to walk a mile to get to the nearest
porta-john? This is a cute idea
that everyone will remember from your wedding, since every one will visit the
restrooms at least once throughout the duration of the event. Put an old picture of the bride under
the “Ladies” sign, and an old picture of the groom under the “Men” sign…wedique!
