A wedding is arguably the most important day in anyone’s life, which is why everyone tries to make it as special as possible.
As long as you and your guests bring the love, it’s usually guaranteed to be special. However, there are some other ways you can help nudge the day in the right direction. By incorporating some unique, classy touches into your wedding day plans, you can ensure that your big day stands out among the countless other weddings. Here are some simple things you can do to make it happen.
Send invitations and RSVPs that stand out.
You already know that your wedding day begins long before the day itself, but this is also true for your guests. For them it begins the second they receive their invitation in the mail, so why not make this part special? Announce your big day by sending out beautiful lace wedding invites, and your guests will be impressed before they even attend the event. For the RSVP, add a special touch before the usual dietary requirements; ask them to include a song they’d like to hear at the reception. Not only will it be easier for you to put together your party playlist, but everyone will be on the dance floor excited to hear their favorite tunes.
Have a dedicated chill out lounge.
Speaking of hitting the dance floor… You want this thing to go on all night, right? So do your guests! But sometimes there’s only so much dancing they can take before they need a break. Don’t leave people looking sad and sitting on the sides of the dance floor. Instead, create a cool chill out lounge. Your guests can give their dancing feet a rest without feeling like the awkward person in the corner – and you can guarantee the party can’t stop and won’t stop until the sun comes up.
Get a communal babysitter for the night.
It’s unlikely you’re the first person in your life to get married, and those who got married before you may already have a headstart with children. This might mean they have to leave early just because their children are tired. Keep the party-goers together by hiring a babysitter that everyone can use later in the evening. The children will have had their fill of the wedding and can rest up with the sitter. Meanwhile, parents can keep on dancing without worrying about their little ones.
Have late night food options on hand.
You probably served a delicious meal to all of the guests earlier in the evening, but if you want to keep the party going on through the night you’ll have to combat those 2am food cravings. Remember, it’s unlikely that any local delivery places will be open, so you want to be prepared. Have some food ready to be served, and your guests will love you as much as your new spouse does. (Seriously!)
Send guests home with memorable party favors.
Finally, don’t forget to send home some memories with your guests! It’s always nice to take something away from a wedding, even if it’s something small. Put together a little goody bag of treats to show your appreciation for all the people who made your day one to remember, and they’ll be sure to remember the day too.
