The following are fresh new ideas that can make your wedding memorable. Guests expect the cookie-cutter wedding and these ideas are sure to make an impression that will last.

• Seal invites with a monogrammed wax seal.
• Create a calendar with pictures of friends and family and lay it out on a table for guests to fill in their birthdays. On their birthdays send out cards that say love MR. & MRS.
• Allow the wedding party to sit with their dates and create an intimate table for two for the bride and groom.
• The photo-booth is very popular these days- something a little different but just as memorable is hiring a caricaturist to sketch guests.
• Alternatives to the guestbook are leaving a pretty blank journal out for attendants to write a memory of the bride and groom, or having a table set up with an engravable tray and an engraver for guest to sign. The tray can be displayed on a coffee table for years to come.
• Decorate a glass vase and set it out with pens and small pieces of paper. The guests are to write words of wisdom and place them in the vase. The bride and groom can read a note each night before bed or have someone mail them every month.
• Use apples as a unique way of getting guests to their tables.
• Personalize your day by taking pictures of your dress hanging from a “name hanger,” or place the words “I do” under your wedding shoes.
• Decorate the doors of your church or venue with your initials.
• Take an old car instead of a limo.
• Make your table setting unique by using cut out placemats or by placing a single flower in a votive holder at each place setting.
• Make a flip flop basket to ensure your guests may dance the night away!
