How to Make an Unforgettable and Personal Wedding

Weddings are among the happiest of occasions for the bride and groom, their families and friends. It is a time of a new beginning, a coming together of two families, a milestone in the lives of the bride and groom.

What better time than a wedding to tell the ones you love how much they mean to you, how grateful you are for their support and how happy you both are to be joining each other's family? What better time than to show others a more personal side to your relationship and how much you enjoy each other's companionship and the relationships you have with your loved ones?

With all the preparations both before and during your big day, you may not have as much time to focus on giving your guests the attention you would like to. Here are some ways to make your wedding a more personal affair, and one in which you demonstrate your affection for your loved ones as well as show others your more personal side. These little touches will make unforgettable impressions on your family and friends.

1. Design your own invitations including a special quote to signify your love for one another or your excitement about joining your two families together. Choose invitations that reflect your personal style or hobbies. If you like a certain flower, select invitations displaying the flower in the border. If you and your partner both enjoy golf, let your invitations reflect this with a picture of a couple on a gold course "tee-ing off to a new life together".

2. Forget the Jordan almond and the impersonal favor that will end up in the garbage anyway. Give your guests something that reflects your personal style. If you like to cook, measuring spoons or wooden spoons engraved with your wedding date and names are nice touches. For smaller weddings, jars of homemade jam, ingredients for cookies or your baking specialty along with the recipe could be a nice touch. Golf balls and tees with your wedding date and names reflect the golf lovers and will surely bring pleasure to your fellow golfers.
