Use unconventional items in your wedding celebration

Sometimes couples want to incorporate some unexpected elements into their wedding to create a memorable experience. But instead of selecting quirky wedding decorations that may overpower the elegance of your big day, opt for items that will subtly add a fresh feel to your nuptials.

Instead of a traditional guest book, place a stack of vinyl records on a table near the entrance and ask loved ones to sign the discs with silver markers. After the wedding is over, slip each record into a clear sleeve and create a scrapbook-like album to display the well-wishes.

Couples who are throwing a smaller wedding may want to forgo traditional place cards and opt for a more modern alternative – photographs. Print pictures of each attendee and write their assigned table number in the corner of the photo. Guests will enjoy seeing their faces lined up before the reception, and will be impressed by your creativity and attention to detail.

Unique wedding favors are the easiest way to make a lasting impression on your loved ones. Send guests home with fun gifts, such as gel candles shaped like cocktails, and they will be sure to remember your ceremony for years to come.
