So you've found the love of your life, and you're ready to tie the knot, but you want your wedding to stand out from the rest. Fear not, my friend! We have some unique ideas to help you customize your special day and make it truly unforgettable.

  1. Signature Cocktails: Instead of offering a standard bar menu, why not create a signature cocktail representing you and your partner? Whether it's a play on your favorite drink or a concoction that symbolizes your love story, having a special cocktail will add a personal touch to your reception.
  2. Interactive Food Stations: Forget the traditional sit-down dinner and opt for interactive food stations instead. From build-your-own taco bars to DIY dessert stations, let your guests get creative with their food choices and make the dining experience a fun and memorable one.
  3. Personalized Wedding Favors: Say goodbye to generic trinkets and give your guests something special to remember your big day. Consider personalized items like custom candles, engraved keychains, or even mini succulents that reflect your personality as a couple.
  4. Non-traditional Entertainment: Ditch the DJ and opt for something a little more unique to keep your guests entertained. Hire a live band, a magician, or even a caricature artist to add a touch of whimsy to your celebration.
  5. DIY Photo Booth: Capture the memories of your wedding day with a DIY photo booth. Set up a backdrop, provide props, and let your guests have fun snapping pictures throughout the night. You can even create a guestbook with the photo strips as a keepsake.
  6. Alternative Guest Book: Instead of a traditional guest book, think outside the box and have your guests leave messages on something more creative. Forget Me Nots Cards digital guestbooks allow guests to capture moments at your wedding via video and audio to help you create a lasting digital collection of special moments you can treasure forever. Rather than a handwritten message or signing of their name, your guests can record personal messages through video and audio that will stand the test of time. Seeing their faces and/or hearing their voices add a personal, lasting element that cannot be captured with a pen.

Learn more about Forget Me Nots video cards and digital guestbooks here. There are packages to match the size of your wedding, your budget, and more. Your packages include a QR code you can print or add to your wedding invitation or website and beautiful QR code placards (available in white or black) to place on dining tables and strategically through your wedding venue. These QR codes take your guests directly to the platform to get started.

Additionally, your guests can attach a monetary gift to their message instead of lugging a gift to the wedding. 

It's free for your guests to create and send messages. There is a small processing fee for monetary gifts (which is, in most cases, less than the cost of a physical card today).

Remember, your wedding day is all about celebrating your love and journey together. So don't be afraid to think outside the box and make it a day that truly reflects who you are as a couple. Cheers to a wedding that's as unique and special as the two of you!
