How much fun is this for a guest book? Cute and would tie in easily with any vintage theme. Guests added their words of wisdom for the couple one the typewriter instead of a traditional paper guestbook.

Entrance Songs
December 26, 2009One way to set the tone of your wedding is to come into your reception to a song that sets the tone you want. Have a song that is fun up beat and that you can dance to, guests love to see you enjoying yourself, take your time entering remember you have a whole song, why waste a good song and cut it short?
Some examples are: Thiller - Michael Jackson; I Gotta Feeling - Black Eye Peas; Forever - Chris Brown; Eye of the Tiger - Rocky; Feelin’ Good - Michael Buble; Crazy Little Thing Called Love; love Walks in - Van Halen; Celebration - Kool and the Gang; Wipeout - Safaris; Theme songs
You can imagine from the list above the different themes and moods that could be created - so choose wisely!

save the dates
December 22, 2009Normally these are sent out after engament notices, but only if the wedding is happening on a busy long weekend, the guests are all out of town, or if the wedding is out of town. Remember when picking your save the dates or invitations, they are the first thing a guest sees, which is the first view of your wedding. Ensure the invite/save the date sets the appropriate tone for the wedding.

(photography & props
December 11, 2009Speak to your photographer before the wedding about what locations you would like to go to or what they suggest - they usually have some super awesome ideas. Another thing to talk about is props. It is a great idea to bring several props with you for the photography from balloons, invitations, maybe a first gift, flowers, umbrellas, a car, glasses, veil, hair accessory, magazine, luggage, cigars etc. See below for some fabulous ideas! Also your photographer might have a bunch of props on hand, or know where to get some for free/cheap no harm in asking! Photos are taken from www.ruffledblog.com <— Check it out it is one of my new favorite blogs to stalk!
