Millions upon millions of couples get married each year. With so many people tying the knot in a given period, it can easily feel as if you and your partner are just going through the motions. You may feel as if your wedding will be exactly the same as every wedding to have come before it, and this can weigh on your spirits. A great way to keep your wedding unique is by taking time to look into clever or creative ways to express the love you share with your partner.
There are many ways to get married. Finding the right solution for you will help you to feel rejuvenated about your big day. Take a moment to delve into some of these creative ideas for your wedding and see if any of them work for your needs.
Welcome Party
Weddings are fun for couples because they have the chance to express their love in front of their closest family and friends. It also can be fun because couples can anticipate some great gifts from guests. Giving a gift can make a person feel warm and fuzzy inside. This means you and your partner might want to return the favor by offering some exciting welcome gifts to the guests of your wedding. Not all weddings have these, but they can do wonders for the way your guests feel throughout the event.
If you are planning a wedding where you anticipate guests will be drinking and dancing all night, your welcome gifts can reflect this. Create a small care package filled with items that will aid guests in their enjoyment of the evening. This can include tiny liquor bottles to get the party kicked off, as well as aspirin and bottled water so people can pay attention to self-care and try to avoid the dreaded hangover that comes after an enjoyable wedding reception. Think about what your guests will need most and include these items in your welcome gift.
A Different Seating Experience
The people in attendance at your wedding are those who you and your partner feel the most connected to. Showing the guests at your wedding you care about them can be challenging for many reasons. You will be running around a lot during your reception and you may feel like you are not showing proper attention to guests. Luckily, there are ways to showcase how much you love your guests without having to spend large chunks of time with each and every person present.
Most weddings have seating charts that are explained to guests through small name cards. Guests pick these cards up when entering the reception and learn what table they will be sitting at. Instead of simply listing a name on your card, you may want to go the extra mile and try something unique. Hang photos of all your guests along a wall of the reception and include the table numbers under each. This can be a fun way to showcase all of your guests and show them a bit of care without having to go to extreme lengths.
Continued Enjoyment
The biggest complaint couples tend to get about fun weddings is that they have to end. If you are throwing a wonderful party and the night goes too fast, you may still have guests who are ready to keep dancing and singing and celebrating life. Anticipating this early can help you to formulate a good plan. Consider holding an after party for select members of your group. This can be at another venue that is open later like a bar or in one of the hotel rooms you’ve rented for the night.
A wedding does not have to follow the same formula as every wedding to have come before it. By taking a little bit of time and thinking over the basics, you will be able to come up with clever solutions and create a unique wedding reception in no time at all.
