    Filed under: Keeping the Memory, Etiquette, After the 'I Do's'Traditionally, there were three wedding albums: a large one for you, and two smaller ones for the parents. That was before the days of common divorce; these days, you are likely to need three or four parent albums, depending on who's together and who's not. Photographs don't end with the albums, however. There are any number of ways you can add a personal touch with shots from your wedding. Here are a few ideas:1. While the attendants don't get albums (and probably, frankly, don't want them) a picture of the wedding party in an attr...

    I have read a couple of blogs about how to add elements to your wedding that acknowledge a loved one that has passed on. There are actually some really beautiful ideas out there. But what about the loved ones that are attending the wedding? Make the wedding a personal experience for your guests as well by finding ways to incorporate them into the day. How about a personalized note at each place setting? This might be too time consuming if you have a very large wedding, but a short note explaining how much you care about them, recounting a fun memory between you, or describing how happy you are...

  • It took me a month to decide on what invitations to get. I’m the typical “buy everything ahead of time and online” to save money and I had looked at over 20 websites with over 1000 different ideas and designs… I was very overwhelmed and the more I looked the more confused I got. I wanted pocket invitations like the one below but I also wanted to add a personal touch (an actual starfish on the outside with a ribbon and a seashell label to go with the theme of my wedding). My mom and many other people kept telling me not to think too much about the invitations because after all people w...

    By Bethany Gina and Nate were married on “The Common” in the center of the quaint town of Irasburg Vermont, on June 26th, 2010.  The wedding was filled with personal touches that reflected what is most important to the couple; their friends, families, and music.  The bride and her bridal party walked out of their parent’s front door onto the common, where the aisle was lined with white birch tree stumps decorated with beautiful hand-picked wildflowers in mason jars. A special song was played for the couple during the ceremony, by Gina’s Sister and brother-in-law. Musical talent runs ...

    I love it when a couple brings a personal touch to their wedding, and I think it adds to the guest experience as well. Some of the things I’ve seen include: adding details to the program about the cultural elements of the ceremony, or even just little interesting tidbits, signature cocktails, homemade favors, fun groom’s cakes, the getaway car as something other than a limo, the guys wearing suit & ties, setting up a rememberance for loved ones who have passed away, and including fun personal tidbits or top ten lists at each guest table. Here are 2 grooms cakes, the alligator is a refe...
