Serve snow cones at your reception
I can’t lie, I like snow cones. So when I saw Julia and Kory and Alysa and Ansell each had a Sno-Kone machine at their receptions, I knew it was a sign.
Do group yoga on your wedding day
A wedding day can be stressful or hectic. A great way to set the tone for the day and bond with select people is to do a group (or even individual/couple) yoga before your ceremony!
Ditch the photo guest book and ask your artistic guests to draw self-portraits
We went into an art store and came across a photography-themed journal filled with illustrations of cameras, photo-taking paraphernalia, and blank “frames.” It gave us the idea to ask our guests to draw self-portraits. We allowed lots of space for our guests (many of them artists) to fill it in with their artwork and signatures and colored Sharpies added to the fun.
Ask for your wedding wine as engagement party or wedding shower gifts
For our engagement party, we said that if people wanted to bring gifts, they could bring a bottle of wine that we could pour at the wedding. I also think this could work really well for beer lovers by having everyone bring a six-pack of beer for the wedding.
