Want to
make your wedding a true reflection of you and your hubby to be… or do
you just want to make it fun and stand out from the traditional trip down
the aisle. On this page you'll find some creative ideas to
help you make your wedding an Affair To Remember.
Showers
Cover to Cover
Send
a blank journal to each guest with a homemade book jacket listing all the
party information (title- A Shower for Shelly, Author, name[s] of the
hostess[es]; etc.). Re-create a fictional feast, like the tea party in Alice
in Wonderland. Give the bride bookends, his and her reading lights,
cook books, a bookstore gift certificate, or a guest book and a fountain
pen.
Day at the spa
Print the who, what, where, and why information on a t-shirt or hand
towel that says, "Michelle's Gym." The ultimate in luxury:
hire a masseuse to give everyone a ten-minute neck massage. Put out a
healthful spread-green salads: mixed vegetables with lo-fat goat cheese:
shrimp with black beans. Give the bride massage oil, a terry-cloth robe,
monogrammed towels, yoga videos, and a manicure/pedicure set.
The recipe
for a good marriage
Send
the who, what, when, and where… on a recipe card attached to a wooden
spoon. Have each guest bring their favorite dish. Gifts ideas include his
and her aprons, cooking utensils, dish towels, trivets, a recipe book, and
a recipe box. All guests should attach their favorite recipe to their gift
instead of a card.
Ceremony
Destination
wedding
This
is a perfect way to combine an intimate romantic wedding ceremony with a
fantasy vacation by taking the whole party to the honeymoon site. Guests
may find this is the perfect way to combine the vacation they need with a
family reunion. After the celebration, the newlyweds should go off on
their own to another site for some private time. Guests can stay and
continue their vacation as they see fit. Guests are responsible for their
own airfare and hotel costs.
Candlelight
wedding
A
candlelight ceremony will surround you in a cloak of beauty and drama.
Bride's maids (and groomsmen) could carefully carry candles instead of
bouquets. Candles also may take on symbolic meaning at the ceremony if,
for example, the couple carry separate candles to light one Unity Candle
after the clergy pronounces them husband and wife. The ideal setting
is a late afternoon or evening ceremony or a winter wedding after sunset.
Reception
Nautical
Take the party onto
a yacht, yacht club, or beach. Your decorations could be colorful signal
flags spelling out your names. The grooms cake could be in the shape of a
sandcastle, or anchor. Your centerpieces could be candles placed in the
middle of sand, seashells, and starfish. Menu: isn't it obvious? Seafood!
