How To Create A Distinctive Wedding

When it comes to personalising your big day, personalising your favours is an ideal way of making your gifts that little bit more special.

Wedding guests are always delighted to receive favours in any form they may come, but by personalising your favours you are going that extra mile in terms of quality and individuality.

Equally, there are many table accessories which can add to the personalised feel of your reception room. These may be in the form of personalised napkins, personalised cake slice boxes and even photographs of you dotted around the room.

So, how can give your wedding that unique, exclusive and out of the ordinary feel?

First and foremost, you need to think about your bridal favours. Giving guests a favour as a 'thank you' for attending your big day is an important tradition, especially as it will be a keepsake after the day has passed. This is a great way to bring the exclusivity into your event and many favours can be fully personalised as well as be in keeping with your theme.

There are different types of personalised wedding favour and there many options available for you to use.

Many personalised wedding favours can be purchased ready to use. In other words, they arrive ready filled or completed ready for you to lay at place settings or present in a basket or dish. Such favours feature the couples' names, wedding date and sometimes the location; these are often in the form of chocolate bars, mint tins, lip balms or tea bags.

Other personalised favours may come in the form of a hot foiled favour box filled with sweets, personalised ribbon tied around a candle or silver keepsake or even a handwritten poem on a parchment scroll.

A charitable contribution in memory of a loved one or a handmade piece of jewellery would also be perfect personalised wedding favours, guaranteed to be well received by guests.

Now that we have talked about favours, you need to think about your wedding reception decoration. There are many ways in which you can personalise the room so that your event has a unique quality making it distinctive from other weddings.

Give your room a personalised feel through photographs of the bride and groom. These can be baby pictures, pictures of the happy couple together or even their first school photograph. Pictures can be presented on canvases, posters or attached to floral centrepieces. Another great idea would be to have a presentation of photographs accompanied by music playing on an overhead projector as guests enter your reception room.

Another great way to personalise your reception room is to handwrite your menu cards, table plans and place cards. Guests will feel elated that you have gone to so much trouble for them and it will also set your wedding apart from any others they may have been to. From a guest's viewpoint, there is something very comforting and reassuring about seeing the hosts' own handwriting in front of you.

For a final touch, you can have your accessories personalised in accordance with your colour scheme. You might wish to add personalised napkins to your tables and give guests a filled personalised cake box. These are often available in colours to suit any scheme and can also tie in with your personalised wedding favours. Many couples are also adding personalised confetti to their tables for that finishing touch.

So, whether you are looking to personalise your wedding through favours, table decor or table stationery, there are many ways to give your wedding that personal touch.
