Little Details That Mean A Lot

While planning your wedding you are no doubt bombarded by more advice than you can handle, but the bottom line is you have to make your wedding personal. This is your day make it look like you, not your friends, your mother-in-law, or the latest hot celebrity. Your wedding should reflect your groom's and your personality.

The key is in the details, the small things that reflect who you are. My sister attached little silver charms that said "love", to almost everything. She then used similar silver charms that said "thank you" to the party favors. She carried the theme of the small charms with red ribbon thru out her wedding. It tied everything together, and reflected her personality, and likes. Find a theme that fits your personality and go with it.

Another little detail that often gets overlooked is the stamps you use on your wedding invitations, and on the return envelopes. The USPS offers wedding stamps that are much more attractive than the standard issue stamps everyone gets. You can look at the stamps at http://shop.usps.com , then search for "wedding". (Blog credit Paperjam) The small detail make all the difference.

A fun idea for your centerpieces is to incorporate your engagement pictures, using your pictures helps make your wedding more personal, and gives guests that may not know both of you a look into your life together.

Be creative and have fun, its your day.

Unique Fall Wedding Ideas

Ok ladies, how many of you have been to multiple weddings that all look the same. We all like to follow the trends, but we don't want cookie cutter weddings, so try something different. Why not try to decorate with the season. I went to a beautiful wedding that was decorated with Christmas trees, and white lights. A fall wedding would be beautiful with fall colors, why not get away from the same color combinations everyone else is doing and do something truly one of a kind.

I created a little 2 page newsletter for our wedding, and they were a huge hit.  We placed them on each chair before the reception, and it kept the guests entertained as they waited for the first course to be served. Newsletters and/or newspapers are definitely a fun idea that can do double duty as a wedding favor. $650 for 150 copies minimum order.

Fun Wedding Favor Idea

Here is a great idea for a party favor for your wedding.

The party favor is a small box that can be filled by your guests with a variety of candies, so they can choose their favorites. You could have the candy in your wedding colors. You could use candy that is inexpensive such as M & M's or you could go with something elegant like Godiva Chocolate. I think young guests to your wedding would especially love this.
