Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime occasion, so it’s only natural for you to want to make it as memorable as possible. One of the grandest ways to make your big day special is to throw a destination wedding in an exotic, breathtaking location. If that’s way over your budget, though, don’t worry you can also make your day extra memorable with a one-of-a-kind theme. Even the simplest ideas can turn a small, traditional celebration or a hometown wedding into an unforgettable event. Here are unique and super affordable wedding ideas that you can consider to make your just a little more special:
- Use unique glassware that is suitable for your theme. For example, if you are having an outdoor country or a garden wedding, mason jars could be the perfect vessels for cocktails, while a small fishbowl could be ideal if you have an aquatic-themed or seaside wedding.
- Gather photos of your friends and family members and place them in frames on the reception tables. This will help them find their seats a lot quicker.
- Write personal thank-you notes to your guests and tuck them in the place cards. If you have plenty of guests, print out statements like, “Thank you for spending this day with us!” or “Glad you made it, (name of guest)!” and sign it with your names or a symbol that defines you as a couple.
- Think about your unique style and match it to the type of ribbon or string that you would use to tie the table napkins. Metallic cords, satin ribbons, leather laces, and twine are examples that should get you started.
- Are you having an informal reception? Place a large sheet of white paper on the cocktail tables and a pen holder that contains writing instruments such as glitter pens and markers to encourage guests to doodle or write anything on it.
- Luggage tags are great place cards or escort cards if you have a travel theme.
- Customize your guest book to make it look more attractive than the typical store-bought options. This way, you would not have to stash it away in a closet or a bookshelf and you can make it seem like a coffee table book, which you can leave in your living room.
- Use a glass bowl with pens and cards, then place a note that asks guests to write down their favorite memory of you and your spouse.
