Creative Wedding Ideas To Highlight Your Unique Personalities

Would you like to add some pizzazz and distinction to your wedding day? These innovative ideas will give your ceremony and reception a unique feel and can be used with any wedding theme.

Create a Memory Candle

Most couples light a Unity Candle during their wedding vows, but here's an additional idea to implement into your own ceremony. On a table near the entrance set up a memory candle to honor those that could not be with you on this joyous occasion. Print up a card that contains the names of family members and close friends that you wish to remember in your hearts. As an extra special touch, print out a second card with a meaningful poem, verse or lyrics to a song. Frame both cards and place them next to the lit candle.

Turn Your Monogrammed Initials Into A Family Crest

It is popular nowadays to have invitations and wedding accessories monogrammed with the couple's initials. Why not take it a step further and have your initials designed into a new family crest using symbols reflecting an important interest that each of you have and one common interest that you have together.

Create Memories With A Photo Guestbook/Scrapbook

Paste some of your favorite photos onto the pages of a typical guestbook or scrapbook. Leave space on each page so that guests can sign their names and invite them to leave some advice or comments as well. Everyone will enjoy looking at the pictures you've included and you'll have a lovely keepsake filled with fond memories to take home.

Spice Up The "First Dance"

I recently watched a video clip online where the bridal party started off the reception, not with the traditional "bride and groom" dance, but with a choreographed dance to the soundtrack of Michael Jackson's song Thriller. It was quite creative and the guests loved it. Why not do something similar? Pick a favorite song and get your attendants together to practice some choreographed moves to entertain your own guests. It can be as simple as learning to do the tango or a line dance together up to something more complicated like copying the moves in a video music clip. However, stick with whatever you and your attendant's feel most comfortable with.

As you can see, you don't need to go overboard and spend a lot of money to add some special touches or inject a little personality. The nice thing about the above suggestions is that you don't have to choose to do just one... you and your partner can do them all!
