Use bookmarks as your escort cards and have them double as favors
Emily and Phil’s book-loving wedding had a pretty sweet book tie-in: bookmark escort cards! Take your card, find your seat, and have a little keepsake to remind you of a kick-ass wedding while you’re reading. Plus, most printing venues offer this size, so DIYing it would be pretty easy, if you were game.
An ode to wedding booze canoes
You know why I love Offbeat Bride readers? Because it’s completely NOT uncommon for y’all to fill up an entire boat with fucking alcohol. Like, that’s just a thing you people do now. Even one of our own staffers did this at her wedding! Gawd luv ya.
Our favorite wedding ideas to steal
Is it rare to be encouraged to steal something? We happen to encourage you all to steal our Offbeat Bride ideas rather a lot. In fact, one of our biggest archives is full of wedding ideas that we’d really like you to steal, pretty please. And I couldn’t get all of my favorites on this list (though I made sure to include my favorite tip for a post-ceremony activity). What I’m saying is, you should go have a wander through that once you’re done with these 30 of my favorites.
