Thursday

Start with a great ceremony

The ceremony is the start to a beautiful and memorable wedding....

Was your first date at the movies? How about sending out your wedding invitations in a popcorn box and greeting your guests to a video montage of special photos on a wide screen when they first arrive?
Getting married in winter? Present paper chain favors to all your guests;
as the chain unfolds, it tells the story of how you met.
Let your vows be a reminder of your love for each other. Involve your guests
by letting them read with you from the programs that are infused with the history of your courtship, fun childhood photos of the two of you, memorable poems or quotes---these treasured keepsakes help make your guests a valuable part of your lives.
Share a love of music? Send out invitations on a scrolled music parchment.
As guests arrive for your wedding, have a favorite band/orchestra/musician playing.
Want something simple, yet elegant? Have your friends and family surround you as the officiate performs the ceremony. The closeness of the action will create an instant bond.
Since your ceremony sets the mood; let your reception be a celebration.
