1) Display Cue Cards at Your Ceremony

Just plain funny.

2) Have an Artist Paint Your Ceremony

Wouldn’t the picture be great displayed in your home afterwards?  We also love the idea of having caricature sketches done, it’s become super popular now.

3) Send Save the Dates that are a Little Cheeky

4) Opt for an Anniversary Pinata instead of a Traditional Guest Book

How fun would this be to open on your one year anniversary?  Break open a bottle of bubbly and this pinata!

5) Instead of settling for just one angle, find your best side!

6) Give your groom a little something to keep those feet toasty warm

  7) And for the bride, a little something blue

Such a sentimental and personal way to commemorate your wedding day.

8) Send Your Guests Mad Lib RSVP’s

9) Who says flower girls have an age limit?

Get your Grandmas to toss the flower petals.  An adorable and fun way to include them in your wedding day!

10) Provide entertainment for guests with nostalgic cootie catchers

11) Or display word search napkins at the bar

12) And better yet still, showcase a full size Price is Right Wheel

13) An old mailbox makes the perfect wedding card box

14) Serve Your Food Family Style

This method of dining is making a comeback for wedding receptions because of its wonderfully intimate feel and budget friendly price tag.

Pros:  Budget Friendly, Encourages conversation and interaction among guests, Great option for pot luck style weddings or self-catering bride and grooms.

Cons:  Not all caterers offer this dining style so be sure to check beforehand.

15) Be sure to get your photo booth, with the add-ons

16) Life-Size Jenga is the perfect lawn game for that outdoor wedding

17)  Give guests hangover helper kits filled with Gatorade, Tylenol, and coupons for McDonald’s breakfast

18) Have a Taco Bar at your reception. (Better yet, just have Chipotle cater your wedding)

According to their website, Chipotle can cater up to 200 people in all U.S. locations except New York.  To satisfy even the pickiest eaters, we like the idea of setting up a variety of food stations and having an Around the World style menu.

19)  Pick a Side Buttons

20)  Have a Food Truck at Your Reception

21) Give your leading ladies a quirky handkerchief (Don’t forget one for yourself!)
