Your Wedding Affair

       Every couple is unique. Why not make your wedding unique. Some people believe that there is a specific structure that a wedding must follow. That is not true. Each couple can add in their creativity in certain areas or can run their creativity through the whole wedding. In order to start planning your unique wedding, you have to ask yourself how creative you want to be. Are you willing to work outside the box and break tradition.
       You can write your own wedding vows or incorporate a theme to your wedding. For example; if you're getting married in October, have a Halloween bash. Have your guest come in costumes of their choice, incorporate Halloween decorations, and games for the children. No matter how you achieve your creativity, just remember to always think about your guest.
       There is no rule against creativity, but if you still want a traditional wedding keep the creativity to a minimum. Here are a few ideas to help you get started;

1. Create your own invitations. Just realize that if you pick a specific theme for your invitations, you should stick to the theme throughout your wedding. If you want a simple, traditional wedding do not go extravagant on the invitations.

2. Pick a date that means something. It can either be your anniversary of when you first met, the date of your grandparents anniversary or a date that is significant to you for a reason that is unknown to your guest, but make it known in the program. It will make the guest feel more knowledgeable about the two of you as a couple.

3. Make your won party favors. It might come out cheaper in the end and it is more sentimental to you than just something you can buy.

However you plan your wedding, keep in mind that it is not a day to impress your guest, it is a day for the both of you to celebrate your love.
