For the guest book, we purchased a blank artist's book ($10)at an art store and decorated the outside of it with a collage of color-copied pictures of us and things we've done together and then wrote our names over this. We
will also set out markers and other kinds of fun pens so guests can not only write their name and address, but give advice, draw a picture and not be limited to one line. These fun "extra's" by our guests will make the guest book much more personal and fun to look at. Never having really liked the fru-fru white lacey unity candles, we decided to really show our unity, and make our own together. We checked out a candle-making book from the public library and got all the craft
supplies at a craft store. Making your own candle allows you to pick the color, the smell and any extra's (rose petals in the candle, words, etc...)
For party favors on the tables, we went to our local dollar store and bought packages of "fun sun-glasses" (in the shapes of hearts, stars, etc..), chinese yo-yo's, maracca's, shakers, and whistles. Not only were they cheap (package of 10/$1.00, package of 4/$1.00), but they will liven up the reception with noise and laughter as
people losen up and try on their glasses (as well as serve as a "toast-making" noise!!) --Danielle LaValle
28. I have a wonderful idea for an interesting unity candle...
Buy a three wick candle, have the parents of the groom light one wick while the parents of the bride are lighting another wick, then have the bride and groom light the remaining wick to unit the families represented .
29. We are planning to do something a little different at our wedding. We are planning to have the groomsmen come to the front of the church to stand, as usual, but the groom and the best man will not. The groom and best man will be in a room at the back of the church with the bride's mother and the groom's parents, separate from the bride and bridesmaids. The groom will then escort the bride's mother to her seat, and the best
man will escort the groom's parents to their seats just prior to the wedding march. After the parents are seated, the groom and best man will assume their regular positions at the front of the church just before the wedding march begins. The bride's father will then march the bride down the aisle to the altar, then he will then be seated. Amber Davis
30. I am getting married and am concerned about all of the
attendants and flower girls looking like little toy soldiers, all the same. I want the bridesmaids to wear the same color and type of dress, but I also want a little bit of individuality. I have decided that all of the boquets will be nosegays, however each one will be a different color scheme and flower type for both bridesmaids and flowergirls. MRV
31. I am letting my bridesmaids pick there own dress. I'm
telling them all that I want it to be long and black, then they get to pick which one looks best on them. They are all very different women, with different body styles, so to stick them all in the same dress seems silly. Similar submission: 32. A friend of mine was getting married and was concerned about the different sizes of all the bridesmaids. She decided that she would buy all the material, and let them pick the style
of dress they want. This way they all are similar having the same color and material but they can wear a style of dress that looks the best on them. Added bonus: they are more likely to wear it after because they picked out their own personal style.
