- Personalize your favors.
- Do themed tables with what you love.
- Display photos of the couple in frames, hanging, on tables etc...
- Guest book ideas-out with the old and in with new ideas.
- Place setting name cards.
- Printed materials and menus.
- Linens!
- Dishes and flatware.
It really is the little things and you don't have to have a gigantic budget. When it comes to your table tops for the reception-add linens! It is not expensive and a great way to add texture or color with either tablecloths to the floor, napkins or runners. This is a small effort that makes a huge impact.
For themed tables - pick what you love! I have a bride this upcoming summer who loves to play games with her fiancee. So, each table will have a game as part of the decor. Each place setting will have a bingo ink stamp-all the guest will play bingo with the DJ calling out the numbers....I love that idea!
Instead of boring numbers to label your tables for seating, use old photos of the bride and groom or postcards from favorite places. A lot of brides name the tables, ie: Mt. Bachelor, Three Sisters, Mt. Hood.
Having a modern wedding or simple-clean lines? Rent white square plates instead of the typical rounds. What a difference this makes for your guest and the presentation of your food.
Rent fancy chairs (these are from Central Event Rentals), add candles in candelabras. |
Do a bench or chair for your guests to sign instead of the typical guest book! |
