There are lots of points to ponder such whether your venues you have chosen are happy with a themed wedding taking place.
The next thing that you have to consider is how far you want to take the theme. Much of this will depend on how much it will cost, but spare a thought for your guests as well. The happy couple may think it’s good fun to have all the guests to dress up, but will they be able to afford the costumes and will your grandma like the idea of parading round in a bikini or hula skirt for your beach theme?
But if you’re sure you don’t want to restrict the themed dressing up to just the happy couple, be certain you let the proposed guests know your dress code and plans clearly on the wedding invitations, well in advance of the wedding day itself.
When it comes to selecting themed wedding celebration favors, the key to making sure that your guests like their favors is to pick those that are chic and in keeping with your overall theme but will be useful after the festivities end.
Once you’ve selected your wedding theme, you are going to want to ensure all elements of your wedding celebration reflect that singular theme, and that includes the wedding favors and table decorations.
For instance if you would like a nautical theme you could have fish shaped or miniature beachcomber flip-flop placecard holders.
Instead of the formal tuxedo your wedding master of ceremonies could don a sailor’s uniform
The centrepiece for each table could be a miniature lighthouse and blue and white could be the themed color.
Your favors could be starfish or seashell floating candles
The invites to the wedding could be based on of personalized travel brochures.
