There
are few things more personal in life than your wedding day, so therefore it’s
only right that you add some of the best personal touches to the planning process. In particular,
you can have fun with this when it comes to planning out the reception of the
wedding. There are so many little ways in which you can add your own personal
stamp to proceedings.
It’s
time to think about some of the ways in which you can make your wedding feel
more specific to you and your partner. You don’t want your guests to feel like
they’re attending just another generic wedding that’s more or less the same as
every other wedding they’ve attended over the last few years. That would
represent a complete failure of the reception party. So we’ve got some personal
touch ideas for you to consider.
Make
Personalized Signs at the Venue
Personalized
signs can be used in various ways. For a start, you could create little name
placeholders at the tables so that everyone knows where they’re expected to sit. You could even add a
little message under the name that’s specific to that person. It’s a nice
personal touch that makes everyone feel like they’ve been recognized and
acknowledged.
Create
Your Own Table Centrepieces
Each
table at the reception should have its own little centrepiece in the middle of
the table. When people enter the room and take their seats, they will notice
these little details, and it’ll be one of the things that complete the overall
approach to decor in the space. If you want these details to feel personal and
specific to you, you should create them with your own two hands. They will
usually revolve around flowers, but you can get creative with the base of the
centrepiece.
Play
an Active Role in Deciding the Menu
It’s
very easy to outsource tasks like these to other people, but that won’t leave
you with the kind of personal touch you want your wedding reception to have.
So, why not think about what kind of food sums up you and your partner, while
also making sure it will appeal to your guests on the day? By playing an active
role in this decision-making process, you will make it feel more personal.
Make
Your Dress Bespoke
Your
dress will probably be on you for the duration of the wedding day, so this will
play a part in the reception too. If you want it to feel perfectly suited to
you, your body shape and your general approach to fashion and style, you should
go with a bespoke solution. These are always more
personal than the off the shelf options most people go for.
Hang
Photos That Track the History of Your Relationship
Photos
are perfect things to add to the walls of your reception area because they can
tell a story. The most important story to tell on this day is the story of your
relationship with your partner, which is now culminating in your two getting
married and starting a whole new story together as a married couple. Dig up all
the best photos going back years and have them blown up and hung on the walls
for all guests to see.
Create
Unique Candy Wrappers
If
you didn’t know already, you can actually design your very own personalized candy bar wrappers now, and they’re a lot
of fun. It’s a nice way to play around with a personal touch that’ll make
people smile. And it has the added bonus of being something that people have
probably never seen before at a wedding, so you’ll have the chance to impress a
lot of people which has to be a good thing.
Prepare
Meaningful Speeches
When
you get up and talk about your partner and thank all the people for turning up,
you should try to speak openly from the heart. It’s one of those things that
not everyone does nowadays because they choose to get a stock speech off the
internet but that’s not personal and it never can be. So prepare speeches that
you really feel and that are meaningful to you. It’s not always easy, but you should try.
Your
wedding is yours and your partner’s; that’s why you should try to make the
occasion specific to you. These personal touches will all help to make your
wedding reception stand out from all the others that people have been to in the
past, so don’t be afraid to put your own stamp on proceedings.
