Special touches
Your wedding day is your special day. It will last in your memory and that of your family forever. Yet do you still feel the need to add those special touches that make it "different"? One perspective is, well, why bother? Let's face it, your wedding day celebrates your union as a wife and husband for the rest of your lives - and surely that's special enough.
But, yes - we still want to add a little flair! Frankly, many get carried away. And that's fine for those with the financial resources. But, with the ever rising cost of weddings, why not consider some special additions that are not going to bust your budget? At the tables at your reception, favors are a nice touch and one low-cost addition is a lottery ticket for each guest. Providing a single-use camera for each guest is a common idea, too, and has the potential to record some wonderfully candid moments as thousands of pictures are taken (talking of preserving memories, we have an article on keeping your wedding favors forever).
Maybe you have considered the release of butterflies by your guests. Later, as you are cutting the cake, perhaps you'll consider the release of a couple of white doves. Quite the symbol right there!
If money is less of a factor, consider a chocolate fountain. They generally run hundreds of dollars for a wedding of any significant size, but - well, it's chocolate! Enough said.
At each stage of your wedding day - from the sending of the invitations to the honeymoon - you have opportunity to "make it special". And WedNet has ideas on how to do just that. But keep one thing in mind. It's your wedding day - it's going to special anyway!
