Congratulations, you’re getting married. It’s now time to think about your wedding day. Of course, you need to cover all the basics; catering, music, and decoration, not to mention the venue and wedding attire. After that, it’s time to elevate your wedding to make it extra special. Below, you can find five simple ways to make your wedding day stand out for the right reasons.
Choose a Theme
Themed weddings allow you to get creative with your wedding day and make it extra special. Wedding themes can also make wedding planning somewhat easier since you already have a context for wedding choices, such as outfits, favor, decorations, and music for your reception.
What about having a masquerade ball for your reception? It is unique and entertaining, giving your guests the chance to be inventive with their wedding attire. Other popular themes these days include a 50s rock and roll wedding, a vintage or classical wedding, or an eco-wedding.
Invite Fur Children
Some people invite children to the wedding event; others don’t, but what about fur-children? If you’re still wondering what fur-children are, we’re not talking about Ewoks! There are ways to include your dogs and cats on your wedding day to make the occasion special for everyone.
If you have a family dog, why not walk down the aisle with them? After all, it’s your wedding day, and there aren’t any rules. If cats are more your thing, include them in your wedding photos, or create a pet-themed wedding with animal cocktails and wedding favors to inspire your guests.
Include an Activity
Activities often go down well at weddings. Activities can mean games between the guests that get people mingling and chatting; it can also mean arcade games, photo booths, or dancing instructions. If you intend to have a long reception, kickstarting it with an activity is a great idea.
Choose an activity that aligns with your personality and your wedding theme. Whatever you decide on should bring people together and give them something to talk about for the evening. If you want some further inspiration, check out these faith based wedding movies about marriage.
Celebrate Heritage
Some people assume they don’t have any culture. They have grown up in conventional society and followed a similar path as their parents. Other people have a very definite sense of culture and identity that needs to part of their wedding ceremony, but everyone has a cultural heritage.
If your cultural heritage is not obvious on the surface, it could be time to dig a little deeper to find out where you come from and what cultural groups you belong to. Chances are you have an ancestor that comes from a particular region or religion that you can adopt for your wedding day.
Personal Playlists
Some people hire a professional music group to play at their wedding, and while this is a nice idea, it means you have less control over the music on the day. If you want to make your wedding more personal and meaningful, spend some time creating a personalized playlist.
