Those of you planning an unconventional wedding should keep reading. That’s because this blog post is just packed full of ideas on how you can make your special day quirky and unique to you. In a good way, of course!
Have your guests help to create a video book
Many weddings often have guest books, where people can write down special messages to the happy bride and groom. Of course, reading someone’s handwriting doesn’t always give you an in-depth look into what people want to say.
Instead of having a guest book, why not ask your guests to help create a video book for you? The idea is simple. They just record their personal message in front of a video camera.
It can even be something as simple as a smartphone or digital camera on a tripod. You don’t need to spend mega bucks on video recording equipment!
Give your wedding a theme
When most people think of weddings, they usually think of people wearing formal attire. But the great thing about getting married in the 21st century is that you can defy convention. And banish formalities like suits!
Some happy couples ask their guests to come dressed according to the theme of the wedding. For example, let’s say the bride and groom are fanatical about comic books. They might ask people to come dressed as comic book characters.
If you want such a wedding for your big day, make sure you have someone taking professional photographs for you! Aimeehofmannphotography.com, for instance, specializes in capturing moments from such weddings.
Make sure kids are all entertained
As a child, going to a wedding is often pretty boring. You can’t do anything “fun” and have to stick around your folks for hours on end. That’s why you might consider arranging entertainment for any kids going to your wedding!
Clowns, magicians and bouncy castles are just some ideas to make your happy day great for all your guests. Regardless of their age!
I once went to a wedding where kids could play in an amusement arcade set up in the grounds of a country mansion! It was all set up under a huge marquee, and even some of the adults went there to have some fun too!
I hope you have enjoyed reading today’s guide to creating your own unique wedding. Don’t forget to have a look around this website for some more ideas on making your special day more memorable. See you soon!
