Planning Tips; It's the little things

Eye Catching Detail

     Today I'd like to introduce you to something we don't see as much as we would like, but when we do they are phenomenal. This is an easy and inexpensive way to add personality and thought to the small details of your wedding. Can you guess what I'm referring to? Card holders are usually utilized for seating guests at your reception, however they have many functions, such as; informative signs for the buffet, drink station or sign in table. Some even use them as favors for their guests. In any regard, card holders can be found to match any theme! Have fun with them, be decorative, creative, and express yourself. Every little detail counts! Wow your guests with eye catching details they never expected!

Add Meaning

          Sometimes the smallest of details can make the biggest impact. When choosing card holders, or any decorative pieces for that matter, think about how you can make it meaningful! I bet now you’re wondering; how do I make a card holder meaningful, is that even possible? Each Bride & Groom should chose something that is fitting to their personality. That is something that will be clearly evident to your guests. However you can take it even a step further...

•  Symbolization. Did you know that elephants (especially with a raised trunk) symbolize good luck and prosperity? This is long revered in Indian and Buddhism society, therefore many choose to have these present at their ceremonies. There are many things such as these that are a symbol of something greater.

• A Moment From the Past. Others will choose to bring into the picture something that is a  reminder of when they first met, or something from the surroundings of the proposal. This is a very good way to share little tid-bits about your life together.

 

These small details can add so much meaning to your reception! Those who know your story will be touched to notice how much thought you put into something thought to be so small. That’s my little tip for the week. Hope this helps in your planning adventures!
