Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is one way that you can make your wedding all that more special for your guests. In this new series of blog posts, we will highlight some specific ways that you can add small details to your wedding, that may not even cost you a cent, yet the results will be that your guests will have a more memorable experience.

Personalise your wedding guest book
Before your actual wedding day, sit down with your partner and personalise the pages of your wedding guest book. You may choose to write famous love quotes or you could even write memories about how the two of your first met, or memorable dating moments such as when your partner first met your parents.

Another great way to spruce up your guestbook is to include photographs of the wedding couple on a few pages. It could be photographs of your recent trip to New Zealand, of happy holiday Christmas snaps. You could even throw in a few photographs from primary school for nostalgia.

Not all your guests will be aware of how you met. Sharing a few back story details will make the wedding more special for your guests and will make your guestbook a great heirloom for your kids and it can essentially become a story of how mum and dad met. Your kids will also love reading messages from the wedding guests.

Wedding chair slipcovers

Slip covers are attractive looking fabric covers that you drape over ordinary looking chairs to spruce them up and give them an elegant formal look for a wedding. Depending on the number of guests they can end up getting a little costly, so it’s a good idea to do your research first.

Before booking anything have a good look around to see what slip covers are available to you. Does the vendor charge per cover or in bulk amounts? More often than not, they will charge per cover but they will have a minimum amount of covers that you must order. Not all slip covers will fit all chairs, so if you find a style of slipcover you like, find out what dimension chair it will fit.

If you do have the intention to buy slipcovers, it won’t matter if the chairs you buy are chipped or scratched. In fact, you will probably get a better deal by buying some chairs that are ‘not-perfect’ aesthetically. Alternatively, look into buying chairs that are already in decent shape and look good aesthetically. This may eliminate the need for covers anyway and may turn out cheaper depending on the price.

In future Daily Wedding Blog posts we will bring you ideas and how-to guides in making your own chair slipcovers, further reducing the cost, so stay tuned!

Daily Wedding Blog: Kids Wedding Guestbook

Kids love to feel part of weddings, so why not allocate a guest book just for them. It can be as simple as an unlined notebook. Allow them each one page and let them run wild with drawing in pictures of themselves and writing you notes. Allow for plenty of pencils and crayons so that they can let their creativity run wild.
