The BEST Guestbook Idea for the Big Day

Although guestbooks are definitely not mandatory in modern Georgia weddings, many couples still choose to have them at their Big Day. There’s a very good reason for this: they are cute and they allow you to keep a heartfelt souvenir of your wedding day: the good wishes of all those who chose to celebrate with you.

It is completely understandable if you are tired of the same old-fashioned guestbook, though. But what about a unique and fun one? Here are some tips to help you create the best guestbook for your own Big Day.

• Think of a main theme for your guestbook, this will add a bit of originality to the traditional guestbook. For example, your guestbook could be centered on date night ideas or fun games to try as a couple. It could also be a bucket list of all the places your guests would love for you to see, or the fun activities they would like you to experience.
• You really don’t have to stick to a notebook either. Sure, it’s a good idea, especially if you pick a pretty design to go with the wedding colors – but if you want to be really unique, you can turn the old-fashioned guestbook into a piece of décor you’ll actually want to use in your new home.
• For instance, you could ask guests to write their ideas on leaf-shaped notes and stick them to a framed tree collage. Or, if you plan on having a photo booth at your wedding, you could ask guests to create a collage with the pictures they shoot in the booth.

Millennial Guests Will Love These Things At Your Wedding

Your wedding is a big, special day for you – but it is a happy event for your guests too. Naturally, you want them to have a good time celebrating with you, regardless of how young or not-so-young they may be.

How do you make a Millennial crowd happy at a wedding, though? Well, research shows Millennials love seeing a few things at weddings – some of which are included in the list below. Read on and find out more!

•        Good food. Who doesn’t love good food? You don’t have to be born in the 80s or 90s to love a good meal – but what makes Millennials a bit more special than their parents is the fact that they don’t care too much about the price tag of a wedding menu. Anything ranging from a fancy brunch to a table full of burgers, mac’n’cheese and pizza will do – as long as they’re fresh, well-cooked, and have a unique twist to them, of course.
•        Quality entertainment. Millennials would much rather spend time with good music on the dance floor, rather than in a very luxurious ballroom. So, if you want something to really splurge on, focus on your wedding entertainment. The DJ, band, photo booth – they should be top-notch.
• ·      A really romantic location. Again, it doesn’t have to be the Eiffel Tour – but your ceremony location should offer people a truly fairytale-like vibe. A garden, backyard, or even an old loft space can be gorgeously transformed if you focus on the right décor details – so don’t be afraid to let your imagination roam wild!

The Best Tips for Your Groom’s Look

We know choosing the perfect wedding gown is ultra-important for you – but so is your groom’s attire for him. How to help him choose a suit or tuxedo that’s truly right for him and the event? We have gathered some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

•        Formality. Your wedding’s level of formality will dictate one of the first and foremost important groom’s attire tuxedoes: whether or not he can wear a casual suit. Decide what your dress code will be and stick to it!
•        Color. In general, the groom’s attire is coordinated with the wedding colors and with the groomsmen’s attires. This is not an absolute rule, but it’s something you might want to follow if you want your wedding pictures to look great.
•        Fit. Those boring tuxedo fitting appointments? They’re as important for your groom as your dress fitting appointments are for you. Your groom’s suit or tuxedo should look perfect on his body – and this means it should be the perfect size too. Nothing too large, nothing too tight, nothing too odd-shaped – just clean lines, a nice design, and quality fabrics.
•       Style. Your groom deserves to incorporate his own personality into the mix – so don’t be afraid to encourage him to wear accessories. Even a simple wristwatch can instantly change a simple black suit – not to mention fun-colored bow-ties or socks, which will look absolutely wonderful in a unique photo shoot!

What Do You Do With Last Minute Guests?

RSVPs have a very clearly defined role – but sometimes, it doesn’t even matter how much you plan for the perfect wedding day and it doesn’t even matter how easy you make it for guests to send back their RSVPs. Surprise guests are almost bound to happen, and you should be prepared to handle them gracefully.

What do you do when a last minute guest confirms their presence at your wedding? Here are the most essential tips to know:

•        First and foremost, you announce your coordinator or Maid of Honor. By this moment, they should already have a list of confirmed wedding guests and the seats they are assigned to – so they can easily find a bit of extra room at a table. If an unexpected guest shows up on the actual wedding day, it is important that your Maid of Honor has this list with her, so that she can smoothly handle the situation.
•        However, if the unexpected guest announces their attendance a few days before the wedding, you should make sure they are provided with an escort card, just like everyone else. Ideally, you should order a few blank ones when you order your day-of stationery. This way, even unannounced guests will have a theme-coordinated escort card to help them navigate the seating chart.
•       Last, but definitely not least, remember not to let this ruin the wedding day for you. This is a unique moment in your life and you deserve to be fully happy – so take things as they are, season them with a big smile, and enjoy your Big Day!

Use Your Wedding Gown After the Big Day

You may think your wedding dress will lose its meaningfulness or at least its usefulness after the wedding day – but truth be told, just because the wedding is over, it doesn’t mean you have to simply leave your wedding dress aside and never see it again.

On the contrary, most brides find creative and innovative solutions on what to do with their wedding gowns after the Big Day. Here are some examples of what you can do too:

•         Have one of those spectacular Trash the Dress photo shoots. The pictures that come out of this type of photo shooting are actually breathtaking – and they will definitely add a dash of color and uniqueness to your entire wedding album.
•        Sell it to someone who wants to wear a designer dress, but cannot afford the full price. Yes, there are a lot of places where you can sell a slightly used wedding dress – and yes, there are a lot of potential clients to reach out to as well.
•      Donate it to someone who cannot afford a wedding dress at all. Can you imagine how happy that person will be and how grateful they will be for your beautiful gesture?
•        Recycle it into something to use around the house. You can transform your wedding dress into a christening gown, or even into a quilt you will pass down from generation to generation. Just imagine how amazing you will feel every time you look at this creation and how many gorgeous memories it will bring back!

Your Mom Deserves to Be Included in The Big Day

Your mother is one of the most important people in the world. She is the one who gave you life and took care of you. She is the one thanks to whom you will be there, radiantly walking down the aisle on the Big Day. Of course she deserves to play a very special role in the wedding!

Not sure how to make your mom feel super-special on your wedding day? Here are some ideas you will both love:

·        Play a song dear to her. It may be the song she walked down the aisle on her own wedding day, or a song she used to sing to you when you were little. You can use it for the processional, for the First Dance, or even for a special dance with your mom. It will add so much sentimentalism and beauty to an already magnificent day!

·        Serve her cooking. Of course, your mom doesn’t have to play the caterer for 200 people – but if she has a special recipe, why not bring her into the spotlight with the amazing cookies, muffins, or brownies she bakes? These will taste better than anything in the whole wide world!

·        Organize a special photo shooting with your mom and grandma. Three generations in one picture – now, that’s something anyone would be touched by! There are so many ways to build these photos, so don’t be afraid to be a little creative with this!
