Wedding Wednesday: Seat Your Guests

 

Besides the champagne, cake, and the couple, seating your guests is one of the most important reception details. It's the only way to avoid chaos. You can do this with escort cards that feature names and table numbers, and place cards that are placed at each place setting. Having both is lovely, but not totally necessary. Here's inspiration.

Acrylic Drink Stirrers

Love this idea, and have actually have seen it used at a wedding. Greet your guests with a glass of bubbly that will also direct them to their table and seat. Or have the glass of champagne waiting at their seat at their assigned table. It is a great way to start the reception with a toast!

Wedding Wednesdays: Vows That Wow

When I was married many moons ago, we did not write our own vows. The only thing daring I did was to ask the priest to remove the word "obey" from the script.  If I was to marry today, I know for sure that I would write my own. After all, who else but the two of you knows what's in your hearts? Since you are going to the trouble of personalizing your wedding, you might as well do it with style.  This post features ten terrific ways to say "I Do."
