Unique Ideas to Make Your Wedding Special
Everyone wants their wedding to be special. But most people fall into the trap of organising just another wedding. They go for the same venue, the same dress, the same cake, over and over again. But the truth is, you don’t have to follow tradition. You can make your wedding unique. Bring some of your own personality to the wedding planning and your wedding will really street.
Get A Customized Wedding Hashtag
One of the easiest ways to personalize your wedding is to incorporate a wedding hashtag. Once you find the perfect hashtag, it’s a fun addition to all your decor, stationery, and signage to make your wedding stand out and feel truly special to you and your fiance.
Drinks Coasters
It’s often the small details that make a wedding really stand out. Unique drinks coasters are probably way down on your list of priorities. But they can really bring an element of personalisation to the wedding. Get some personalised coasters with your names on them, and it will show your guests that you have thought of everything.
Fun Sports Activities
Some weddings can be sober occasions. There is plenty of booze flowing, but the mood feels sober. For some reason, people tend to think of weddings as a serious affair. But in reality, it’s just a day of celebration. So, why not inject some fun into the wedding with some fun sports activities? A few activities will break the ice and get everyone involved, from a ring toss to a full-blown game of rounders.
RSVP Cards
RSVP cards are a great way to set the mood before your wedding. Want a festival vibe? Send a festival-themed RSVP card. Going for a more traditional wedding? Decorate the RSVP cards with ornate calligraphy. The RSVP card is the first chance for your guests to gauge the mood.
Wedding Piñata
Everybody loves a piñata. There’s something beautiful about being blindfolded and made to hit wildly with a bat. Just make sure everyone is a safe distance away. A wedding piñata is another great way to break the ice. You can guarantee that everyone will be laughing and gathering around, which will spark a few conversations.
Dress the Chairs Yourself
It’s amazing how much difference you can make to a room with chair decorations. However, if you pay someone to do it, it can get seriously expensive. Dressing the chairs yourself gives you a chance to bring some personality to a venue. Buy some fabric and decorate the chairs with flowers that you’ve picked yourself.
Wedding Crèche
Kids are great value at weddings. However, with all the sitting around, they can get bored pretty quickly. So, why not provide a wedding crèche to keep them interested. Borrow some toys and books from friends and family and make a special area for them to hang out. The parents attending the wedding will thank you for it.
Consider Hiring a Yurt
If you want to create a bohemian vibe at your wedding, you need the right venue. You can create the perfect atmosphere with a yurt. Yurt hire is more affordable than you’d think and can be an affordable option if you have enough space.
Hire an Artist
Wedding photos are so obvious. Why not hire a professional artist to paint or sketch the wedding party? This will offer a unique memory of the day and give the guests something to talk about. Of course, you might want to hire a photographer as well or at least ask a friend to take pictures.
Release Balloons
Every wedding has certain moments that you will remember forever. One of those could be releasing a bunch of balloons and watch them fly away. Not only is this a great memory for the kids at the wedding, but it’s also an excellent photo opportunity. You can even write little notes in the balloon asking people to send you the location they landed.
Have a Pre-Wedding Get Together
If you feel like your guests don’t know each other well enough, you should get together beforehand. Whether it’s a big party with all your friends or a couple of dinner parties, this is a great way to break the ice before the big day. It also takes the pressure off you on the day because you don’t have to introduce people so much.
Make a Big Deal of Your Wedding Cake
The wedding cake is the centrepiece of your wedding and cutting the cake is one of the most important moments of the day. That’s why you should make a big deal of your wedding cake. Make it personal to you as a couple and break tradition with different flavours.
Personalise Your Theme
Your wedding day is about you and your partner. So, why not personalise your theme? If you are huge music fans, go for a music theme with table names and decorations. If you’re passionate about gardening, have an outdoor wedding surrounded by beautiful flowers. You get the picture.
