We are all romantics at heart, even those who deny it. However, romance does not must be cheesy, and it should not be forced either. Romance should feel natural and it is all about celebrating the special bond two people share. If you want your wedding day to be romantic without being too cheesy, we have some ideas that will touch the hearts of even the most pragmatic and cold wedding guests.
Ask your guests for funny or significant wedding suggestions
Wedding guest books are very boring and few people bother to open them after the marriage. A better way to remember the people who came to your wedding is to have all of them write a special message and pass it on a piñata that you can open on your one year anniversary. You might also consider asking your guests for fun suggestions. For example, you could print out some cards with funny questions like: “What should we name our children?” or “How to handle our child’s first date?”
Order a custom wedding song
As much as we all love Ed Sheeran, it is about time we played something different at a marriage reception. Sure, music and love go hand in hand, but you can express your love far better traditional wedding song. Imagine a song with lyrics that perfectly describe your love store, a song with music to suit both your and your partner’s tastes. For an order of songs that actually bring your love story to life, take a look at Lindsey Harper. She is the best singer/songwriter in Los Angeles and she will turn your most significant day into an excellent one!
Choose a custom aisle runner
Instead of the traditional aisle runner, consider something extraordinary that will really make your ceremony special. For example, you can decorate it with artistically arranged rose petals. Or you can choose a rug printed with a photo of you and your partner, or with a message that describes your love story.
Choose a custom table number
Table numbers are required, but they do not have to be just numbers. You can choose numbers that have significant meaning for you and your partner, such as the day you met, the day you got engaged, the number of youngsters you want to have, and so on. Another idea is to place age-appropriate photos of you and your partner together with the table numbers.
Take romantic advice from your guests
Instead of asking your guests to simply sign their names and write general wishes in the guest book, ask them for wedding advice. You can make this idea funnier by asking them to write up some date night ideas. You might also consider turning a photo of you and your partner into a really large puzzle, and having guests write their messages on the puzzle pieces.
Create a marriage time capsule
As special as your wedding day may be, you are likely to forget quite a lot of details. However, you can take a walk down memory lane a few years from now, if you head out with a marriage time capsule. You can fill it with different items from the marriage, and you can make it even more special if you and your partner write love letters to one another. Imagine how great it would be to relive today’s emotions a few years from now.
Be yourself!
As we have said, romance should feel natural, so do not force it. Celebrate the things that make you both unique, and don’t fret about what other people think. If you do not want a conventional white dress, wear something that makes you feel more snug. If you do not like flowers, choose simpler wedding decorations. If you do not feel snug reciting cheesy wedding vows, say something easy but significant. Whatever you do, remember that today is all about the love you both share, so do not force anything that feels uncomfortable.
