Out-of-the-Box Wedding Ideas That You May Not Have Thought Of

When planning your wedding, it's all about creating meaningful moments that last long after the big day. Whether you're looking to repurpose your flowers, add personalized touches to your décor, or find creative ways to reuse wedding day items, there are plenty of ways to make your celebration both memorable and sustainable. Read on for 4 out-of-the-box wedding ideas for commonly asked questions from The Printed Event.

1. What can we do with our wedding flowers (besides throwing them away?)

• Take them to a local retirement, assisted living facility or hospital for the residents to enjoy
• Repurpose your flowers as wedding favors - give them to your guests to take home

2. How do we carry our design theme beyond the invitations to create a cohesive look for our guests on the wedding day?

• Add personalized touches like a monogram or custom sketch to your guest favors, cocktail napkins or welcome bags!
• Create signage with matching fonts, colors and shapes!

3. What are some ways to identify reception tables besides numbering with table cards?

• Pick some of your favorite places you’ve traveled together as a couple.  Then assign each reception table with a picture and name - sharing a visual journey of your love story!  
• Love wine? Create wine bottle labels as your table numbers. Even better - save the bottles to enjoy at each wedding anniversary!

4. How can we reuse some of the leftover Items from our wedding day?

• Remember those wine bottles used as table numbers? Honor your anniversary by opening a bottle every year in celebration of your ongoing love and commitment to each other.
• Save those personalized napkins! Grab two to use when you pop open some bubbly on special occasions (or anniversaries!)
