8 Ways to Personalize Your Marriage

Your ceremony is the perfect place to personalize with special touches. Here are a few of our favorites:

Have An Overview With The Officiant

It is important to choose a candidate that is interested in showcasing you and your significant other’s relationship. It is possible you will meet with him/her beforehand to discuss everything you exactly want to portray. So make sure you are prepared!

Have A Display Of Family Photos

Pick out a plethora of photos to display in honor of those loved ones who could not make it physically but spiritually.

Have Time For The Little Ones To Shine

Whether you have a flower girl or ring bearer walking down the aisle, children can be unpredictable. You might need to bribe them with a sign that says, “Last chance to run!” Remember, it is supposed to be funny.

Have Guests Choose A Seat Not A Side

Do not give guests the option to sit on either the bride’s side or the groom’s side. Rather, encourage them to mix ‘n’ mingle as two become one.

Have Programs Personalized

The obvious need to be printed on programs such as the proceedings and names of parents, grandparents, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. However, you could also include a thank-you note.

Have A Unity Ritual  

Take a symbolic route with a ritual such as handfasting, tying of three cords, combining sand, or washing each other’s feet.

Have A Romantic Reading

From biblical passages to children’s books and love letters and song lyrics, there are lots of romantic readings to choose between.

Have A Wow-Worthy Recessional

After you have exchanged vows and sealed the deal with a kiss, ask everyone to push confetti pops, blow bubbles, or wave ribbon wands.
