Wedding Tip

Have fun! This goes along with the “it’s your wedding” theme. Let your personality shine. More and more often I am seeing the bride and groom really show at weddings. No longer do you have to have a “stuffy” wedding or reception. Some fun things I have seen (or heard of) lately are as follows. PLEASE add to these, I only mention a few, but I know you all have lots of great ideas! ( Post them in the comment section)

Pink and brown wedding: Strawberry and Chocolate whoppers in bowls all over the place.

I did a cup cake cake for a girl last year. Then they served lots of different flavors of cup cakes as their main dessert. She and the groom LOVE Taco Bell, so they had a Taco Bell Bar. They bought all the stuff, in bulk, from the restaurant and set up a really cute food bar. Ask around, I bet other places would be willing to do this too.


Photo booths are popular these days. Your guests get photos to take home, and you get a CD with their photos for your memories.

Leave with a bang. I’ve seen sparklers, bubbles, flower petals and even live butterflies you can buy online. I am sure there a ton more you can think of.

I’ve heard of everything PINK. Any kind of candy and even a cotton candy machine.

Party favors can really say a lot. Spend some time and think about what says “you.” You can order m and m’s with your names on them. Even a handful of wildflower seeds to be planted in the spring. Remember though, packaging makes the gift. So think about that when you are planning.

The first dance doesn’t have to be a snoozer. I found this awesome clip online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QujA8YYgTWU&feature=related Let it load before you watch it, because it is a snoozer for a couple of minutes. But then it is to die for! I laughed so hard and thought, “I would LOVE to know these people.” They are totally funny! Do what makes you, you. (I loved watching her big puffy dress)

But having a fun(ny) time might not be your thing. Whatever is “your thing,” do it 100%. If you are all about class and simplicity, then by all means; go that route. If you are a total goof ball who really likes to do things up; have at it. All of this doesn’t have to be expensive, either. Set your priorities, getting the most out of your money; where it matters most to you. You could have a bare minimum reception and really fun food. Or no food, but great favors. The internet is FULL of great ideas. But remember, over all, have fun and let both of YOUR personalities be reflected in this wonderful day.
