A wedding is a celebration of love. It brings family members, friends and colleagues together. When it's all over, the bride and groom become husband and wife. Some people chose to give everything and spend a fortune. Others prefer a simple intimate ceremony. On average, an American wedding costs around $ 34,000. Here are some creative ideas to make your big day unforgettable!
1. Send nice invitations
After you find out who you want to have at the wedding, the next step is the invitation. It's an opportunity to impress right outside the gate. Although thousands of templates are available online, you may need to think outside the box. For example, add a pop-up element to the cards instead of inserts.
You can also add some humor to the invitation. If you are interested in puzzles, you can ask the guest to solve a puzzle like a jigsaw to find the location. If you can afford it, you can add boarding passes for a wedding in your destination.
2. Choose a nice venue
To really delight your guest, you need a picturesque one. The venue may be in a different locale or in your home town. The venue must be large enough to accommodate all of your guests. It should also match the wedding theme. It could be a renovated castle, an old barn, or a beach wedding. When it comes to the venue, anything is possible. It can be a museum, library, tree house, antique shop, theme park, or even your favorite theater. In addition to the decor, make sure you have wedding signs to guide your guest to the venue. Make sure that the venue is beautifully decorated to complement the landscape and that the surroundings are practical.

3. Hire a professional entertainer
The bridesmaids, flower girls and the best man are the key to any wedding. However, other people can complete or cancel the ceremony. The first unsung hero is the person who leads the ceremony. This person can be a religious leader or a lifelong friend of the family. It is better if the individual can tell your love story. The more charming and entertaining the better. After the wedding, the next step is reception. The serious part of the ceremony is over, it's time to let go. A good band or a DJ is the way to get the guest out of their seats and dance.
4. Offer delicious food
Delicious food and tasty treats are a great way to impress guests. Maybe you have the venue, the guest list and a beautiful dress. However, if the guests are not well fed, they will speak. When the celebrations and speeches are over, your guest will be hungry. Hungry people are irritated. It is therefore important that you take the tasting seriously. The final catering menu should include healthy options for those with dietary restrictions. Or maybe you just want cake for dessert.

5. Have an after party
An open bar at the reception is a good start. However, if you want to give the guest something to talk about, host an after party. Weddings are very hectic; It is very difficult to spend a few minutes with the newlyweds. An after-party provides a more relaxed environment for all debriefings. Your friends may all have traveled far to be with you. If you end the celebrations too soon, you won't have a great chance. You can hold the party at the front desk or move it to a smaller location. They even move the celebrations to a club.
