How to Make Your Wedding Memorable

When you stop and think about it, often it's not the big things -- such as the church, the banquet, and the band -- that make your wedding memorable. Rather, a few small personal touches will cause your wedding to stand out in the minds of the participants and guests for days, weeks, months, and years to come.

Have you thought about planning the wedding around a warm, friendly theme to tie everything together? If you are having the wedding in the autumn, you could choose autumn leaves as the theme. Create your own logo that uses autumn colors and a motto such as "Warm at Heart."

When planning the wedding, your logo would appear on your invitations, decorations, guest book, and programs. As part of the ceremony, the speakers and singers could perform pieces that relate to the theme. It is always so thoughtful to publish some of the poems and songs in the program you give to guests so they have a wedding remembrance to keep.

Autumn flowers are especially beautiful for table displays and of course the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. The wedding attendants can wear autumn colors. The flower carriers can drop autumn leaves instead of flowers. Your tables can be named autumn colors, such as gold, green, orange, crimson, etc., or other autumn themes, such as cornucopia or hearth, and decorated to reflect the theme.

To round out wedding planning, the favors should fit into the wedding theme. Perhaps you can create little jars of home-made soup mix, pasta, or risotto the guests can prepare at home. Decorate the little jars with your wedding logo, ribbons, and flowers. This little food gift will give your guests another opportunity to re-live the joy of the wedding after they get home.

When your guests receive your thank you note in the mail a few weeks later with your logo, they will smile and remember the little things you did to make the wedding so memorable. A cute wedding planning idea is to put on the thank you note a photo of you and your spouse on the honeymoon with both of you wearing T-shirts, one of which says, "Thank" and the other "You."

These ideas are just some of the little touches that will make people remember your wedding. You can find many more ideas on the Internet.
