If you've been to more than one wedding, there's not often a surprise or unique experience in the ceremony or the reception. You want your wedding to stand out in people's minds, but don't want to spend an obscene amount of money on a unique wedding. There are ways to surprise guests that is affordable and fun.
1. Interactive Guest Books
Instead of the traditional guest book that is shoved onto a shelf somewhere, think of an item that can be used over and over like a dictionary. Provide markers, stickers and paper while asking guests to circle a word that reminds them of the happy couple. You can keep this on your shelf and whenever you need to look up a word, you'll have a new surprise in store.
2. Dress the Chairs
The guests of honor can have personalized signs on the backs of their chair. You can create these custom signs yourself, and make it personal by fitting it in with your

Each table could be named for a street or city that's important to the newlyweds with a fun fact about why it means so much to you.
4. Tell a Fun Fact
Scattered throughout the reception, you can have fun facts printed about you and your new spouse. These facts can be about the first time you met, or something awkward that happened while you were dating.
5. Detachable Dress
Many brides will purchase two gowns for the wedding. It's more affordable for her to remove the ruffle from the bottom of the dress than to buy two dressed. People will be stunned to see you in a shorter version of your beautiful wedding dress.http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2015/11/22/sofia-vergara-wedding-dress-all-the-exclusive-details-on-her-sexy-custom-design/
6. Signs for the Ring Bearer or Flower Girl
When you have a cute member of the family dropping flowers or holding the rings, have them wearing adorable signs that announce the bride is on her way down the aisle.
7. Unexpected Choreographed
I’m guessing that my son might rename the "Rehearsal Dinner" to the "Rehearsal Dinner Kegger". The invitations would not read “Gracious dinning from 7 to 10” but rather, “Raucous Drinking from 7 until the cops show up.”
The bride is then assisted in adorning herself for the public ceremony which begins with a feast at the family’s home.
My sister helps my mother with the cooking and watching the clock, while my brother goes outside to move our cars out of the way for the guest’s vehicles. While that is all going on, I set up the table with decorations and clean up the kitchen so people have room to put their dishes of food. Once we are prepared for the guests to arrive, we wait patiently for the fun to begin. My siblings and I may break out a short card game to pass the time. Slowly, guests start to arrive.
And of course we should not forget the bride and groom. I would like to say to you both: "May your love be modern enough to survive the times, and old-fashioned enough to last forever."
Before I ask you to join me in a toast to the bride and groom. I'd like to bore you with a few words. I will try to keep them short. as I know that the other speakers are really looking forward to standing here before you and making their speeches!
Taste: The flavors of the wedding cakes range from fruit-flavor to various unusual combinations like buttercream and lemon, buttercream and e...
Are you a couple and planning to get marry soon? Then you must be looking for a place where your wedding will be memorable and romantic. The Magical Wedding Moments: A well decorated room or a marriage hall can't be always your necessity to make your wedding ceremony delightful and memorable. It can make your party enjoyable, but clumsy with few of wine glasses under a roof with the electric lights. Everyone will enjoy the party but you will definitely miss something in that well decorated as well as well arranged party for your happy wedding ceremony.
Crank up your super-shopper-mojo and go where the cakes are. Excepting, no supermarket cakes allowed! Look for a sweet little bakery, hopefully with a professional cake decorator. You deserve the bestest cake on the planet! Traditional Groom's Cakes
I have a question!!! How many of you wives would put everything in storage to bewith your husband??? Meaning giving up your home "renting" for your child to see daddy every night to be able to give good night kisses to and for you to have your protector, best friend and soul mate every day/night... I am one of them wives I sacrifice my wants/needs to see my baby girl happy and for her to have her daddy every night... I'm not losing anything by doing this.
But shelling out the big bucks for the best bling can be downright overwhelming. And just like every bride-to-be, every engagement ring comes in a different size, shape and color.

Many couples, inspired by romance of the past, choose cushion-cut diamond rings as the symbol of their love.
Keeeping naughty kids busy and occupied is a big challenge. More so, when it is wedding time. How many of you would want lil champs messing up the room where the bride is to dress up for the most important day of her life? Or for that matter, the mischievious lot going and spoiling giveaways to be given to guests from the boy’s side with their muddy and soiled little fingers. Ouch!
There were speeches along with the meal, some being from my aunt and grandpa. Hearing how happy they were and all the memories and laughs in their speeches was something that you can’t makeup. Later as we were all gathered around, the breeze gently blowing at the table cloth and carrying the sound of laughter through the air it was the perfect setting for the bride and groom to have their first dance. The song was “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis Presley, and it felt as if the music was dancing right along with them. After the first dance, they pulled their kids out on the dance floor and they all had a dance together, only this one wasn’t slow, it was loud and fast paced and so much fun to watch.
Sounds obvious, sadly, even some professional wedding photographers fail at this challenge. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, it is far easier to get your guests correctly positioned by asking them nicely, rather than ordering them around. Getting to know the whole bridal party and both families makes it a lot easier to get natural photographs. Who wants to be told to smile all day?! A laugh and a joke, a funny story and people smile naturally. Quite often I am asked which side does the Grooms button hole go. It's not about being the photographer, it's about being the go to wedding guy (or girl). Please do make sure, no matter how brilliant or how cheap your photographer is, that then have a personality that is easy to get along
“I want a marriage more beautiful than my wedding.” I want you to think about how your dream wedding would be like. How would you like to remember your big day? My wedding day will forever be memorable for my family, children, husband and I. On January 1, 2015 at around 9:00 p.m. we checked into the Burnham Hotel, in Chicago just one block away from the Dailey Center. As we entered our room 1202, we quickly noticed that the hotel had showered us with some great gifts, and a bottle of Champaign set in a bucket of ice, included a congratulations card stating, “Congrats on your wedding day what a way to start your year.” I thought it was nice and thoughtful gift from the hotel. The next day I woke up around 4:00 a.m. to get ready. Hopeful
Congrats! You just got ready for marriage, now what? Where do you start? Simply thinking about arranging a wedding is overpowering isn't? There is such a great amount to do and there never seems to be enough time to complete everything.
