WEDDING NOTES™ - Creative ways to personalize your wedding

Because the push to be unique is increasing important to our brides, here are some of the more creative ideas we have seen.


  • ·         If yours is a smaller wedding, consider including a personal note with the invitation.

  • ·         With help from the US Postal Service you can create your own stamp.

  • ·         Stats have shown that social invitations are opened more frequently on Saturdays.  Time your invitation mailings to arrive on Saturday if possible.  You’ll receive more RSVP responses.

  • ·         Pick a monogram and use it throughout the planning process.

  • ·         One wedding planner suggests choosing a unique start time for the ceremony.  For example use the date you met (5:23) or the date you got engaged (7:04) or other key dates in your lives.

  • ·         Take lots of photos during your engagement and pre wedding planning period and use them as table decorations at the reception.

  • ·         Create an entrance at the wedding – something that says WOW and let’s guests know they have arrived.

  • ·         Include your parents by having their wedding photos on display at the reception.  Include grandparent photos too if they are available.

  • ·         To keep everything moving, plan a “surprise” for guests at the reception every 30 minutes.

  • ·         If you are planning a Dessert Station at your reception, ask family cooks to bring a dozen or two of their favorite treats.  These will add variety to the selection and invest family in the reception.
