Make Your Day Unique

make your wedding your own...

By adding a couple of personal touches to your wedding, you'll offer guests an inside look into your love story and the chance to be part of a meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Start with the invitations. A picture of you two or a personalized map of the city that includes your favorite hot spots are great ways to set an intimate tone for the big day.

For the ceremony, consider writing your own vows. Don't be shy if you lack creativity - a pastor or wedding guide can help. Think of your favorite romantic song lyrics or poetry to express your commitment.

As your guests file into the reception, seat them at tables with names, not numbers. If you met in a Literature class, send everyone to tables named after authors you read together. It will provide them with a conversation piece and a little insight into an interest you share or how you met.

After the toasts, surprise the guests by raising your glasses to them. Thank them for being there and share your appreciation for all their support. Everyone will love being addressed as an integral part of your day.

Don't forget about the dancing! For your first dance as a married couple, take tango or ballroom classes and relish the opportunity to show off your new moves with a choreographed number. If you're really brave, invite your whole bridal party in on the action!

Personalizing your wedding simply means bringing a little bit of "YOU" into the day. Express yourself!
