Must Have Ideas For Decorating For Wedding Your Guests
Although the favors and the speeches are ways to thank your
guests for coming, you can do more. Many couples have found ways
to appreciate their guests in a more personal way, and maybe so
can you.
A picture is worth...
An interesting way to decorate the guests' tables is to place a
piece of clear plastic on top of the table cloth, but before
doing that, you're going to spend a little time with your photo
album. You can find photos of particular guests and place them
on the table. Not only does this show some of their memories,
but it also shows that you were thinking of them personally as
you decorated the table. The plastic will protect the pictures
from being harmed. Of course, you can also make digital copies
of the pictures and use those as decorations too. If the guest
wants to bring them home, then you can help them do so.
Next slide
Another way that couples are decorating their reception with
love and memories is to play a video or a slide show of
themselves with their relatives and loved ones. When set to
music, this can be a stirring reminder of those that have been
lost and those that may have been forgotten.
You can show this on a wall that everyone can see as
they're
waiting for dinner, or even as dinner is served. And it doesn't
have to be perfect or even have an explanation as to who is who.
It can just show the pictures of the new couple as they grew up,
as they first met, and when they were engaged. Personalize your
wedding and your guests will fall under the spell.
Take it with you
Another fun way to decorate with your guests in mind is to let
people take home the decorations when they leave. This can be
the candles, the flowers, wine glasses, anything that you want
to give as a gift. Leave a gift bag on the back of their chair
along with instructions as to what to do. This is fun for
everyone and if they don't want to bring anything home, they
don't have to. It also saves a little cleaning up!
The wedding day is your day, but the reception is really for the
people that have come to celebrate you, so why not celebrate
them a little too?
