Unique Wedding Receptions

Unique wedding receptions are those that create lasting memories and are something that your guests will talk about for years to come. The event doesn’t have to be unique, just elements of it. If you go for unique all the way, it might be off-putting to some guests. However, if you choose a few components such as the décor, table centerpieces or take home favors, you can pull off a unique wedding reception.

So do you have any unique wedding reception ideas? Remember, you should focus on one or two aspects that can make a big impact. Let’s talk wedding favors for the guests that can contribute to unique wedding receptions:

Wedding Favors

1. Purchase fortune cookies in bulk. Gently remove the messages inside using a clean pair of tweezers. Re-insert your own messages into the fortune cookies. Then, purchase those small Chinese food take-out boxes to several cookies in for each guest. Top it all off with a small gift tag.

2. Find some small picture frames from the dollar store and embellish them with some crafty items.

3. In lieu of gifts, put place settings at each guest seat and explain that a donation was made to a particular charity instead.

Unique wedding reception decorations are another way to create a memorable event. Here are a few ideas for unique wedding receptions:

Wedding Reception Decorations

1. Decorating a unique and modern wedding reception could be as easy as using the bride and groom themselves. A few weeks in advance, take some candid photos of the happy couple together. Scan them in both in color and in black and white. Frame these candid photos with a personal message from the couple and use as centerpieces on each reception table.

2. You could add a touching twist the placing photos of the happy couple on the table. Instead, use wedding photos from all sets of parents of the bride and groom. Ask the grandparents as well. Scan them in and identify each picture and put them in frames. Use these as centerpieces instead. Of course, this should be done a few months in advance of the wedding.

3. Use miniature pots of herbs to use as table décor. If the budget allows, place the same amount of tiny herbs as there are chairs at the table. At the end of the reception, the table guests can each take a small herb plant as a memento.

Many unique wedding receptions have taken place over the years. For the most part, they were memorable in a good way for the bride, groom and the guests. Just keep in mind all of the different dynamics involved. From incorporating unusual wedding reception pictures to adding quaint touches to please your grandmother, there are plenty of ideas to be carried out.
