Where would your wedding be without your wedding party? More than likely you’d wind up with more stress with all the chaos, then time spent enjoying what the day is supposed to be all about.
What better way to give back to your party, then to make this night more memorable for them as well? Give back a little! Whether it’s photographs, trinkets, grab bags, personalized items, or fine chocolates/sweets… going that extra mile never goes without appreciation. Remember that if it weren't for your wedding party, your wedding wouldn't be all that it could be. So, why not show a little thanks for all of their hardwork? Give them something that they'll remember.
A popular way to go, and a great penny saver… is to D.I.Y. Not only does it make it more personalized and gunuine, it goes a little bit easier on your wallet, too. Decorated candy tins, baskets chalk full of homeade cookies and brownies, scented candles or tea lights, and even homeade potpourri. Also remember the season in which your getting married! If it’s around Christmas you could make tree ornaments… Valentines day could include hearts and sweetheart-esque items, etc.
Personalized gifts… such as wine corks, coasters, matchbooks, pens, or even notebooks are also cute little additions as well. The costs on things such as that run a little bit higher, but it gives the guests not only a tangible memory… but has the date/wedding on it as well.
An idea on the rise is photobooths! Capturing the memory is not only fun, but lasts An obvious choice is to have a professional photographer, but why not make it that much more special, by giving your guests the creative hand? Imagine the awesome candids you’ll capture taking this route! Photobooths, such a Momento Photobooth… are such an awesome idea. With booths that can fit 8-10 people… you’re pretty much guaranteed a great amount of silly and sweet captures. Compiling all these wonderful photos to send to your guests can also be a great gift! For your entire guest list, or even just the immediate party.
