PHOTO IDEAS

This far in advance, there aren't alot of concrete things to talk about. However, there are always discussions of ideas, and looking at photos over tea. I always appreciate your thoughts :)
Retro menu cards, highlighting the buffet items, were tied to casual tea towels.
Hello Dollarama! LOL

Mark created a game guests could play during dinner, a photography scavenger hunt. One item to capture: the “cutest older couple.” I really want to put the disposable cameras on each table, because as everyone knows - I LOVE photos. So this is an idea to put with them....

Dozens of six and four inch votives were peppered on the tables to create a romantic vibe. Miss Peggy already has the tea lights!

Many family members were unable to make it to the wedding, so Neddy created a family tree in their honor. Great idea for photo displays, however perhaps in our case not to remember the dearly departed.

The goal for the reserved table cards was to make them as bright, colorful, and quirky as possible. Tahni painted and collaged them together with fun fabric and paper.

I think that these are really nice, but it's the type of artsy I wish I was but unfortunately am not... haha

The couple displayed old family photos and pictures from their 7-year relationship on bulletin boards covered with burlap. I definitely want to do some sort of photo displays, however burlap won't really fit our theme. Thought it was nice though!

During the cocktail hour, guests wiped their mouths with napkins printed with unknown facts about the couple. Perhaps these napkins aren't very budget friendly, but I like the idea of incorporating quirky facts somehow. FUN!

For an ultra-personal touch to their wedding decor, Josh wrote down 20 things he loves about Laura. Laura then typed up the sentences and made a “she” graphic underlay. The completed work was framed and placed on the sign-in table at the reception. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Except I would put it as some sort of 'station' around the room that people could choose to look at whenever they'd like. Of course, I'd do a version for him as well :)

The couple wrote up bios of everyone in their wedding party and placed them, with black-and-white headshots, in frames on a side table. I like this idea. Maybe not displayed so formally, but would make for another great 'station' around the room.
