Wedding Day Details Not To Miss~The Loo

The Loo

Why? The restroom that will be used during your wedding ceremony or reception can often be an often-overlooked space that, when given a little tender love and care, creates an unexpected wow. It doesn't take much either -- even the slightest bit of decor will perk up and personalize this space. It's one more little detail that tells your guests that they are important.

How to do it ? Add small bud vases of flowers, give the bathroom new "Ladies" and "Gents" signs, or splurge on some monogrammed towels in your wedding colors. You can also use disposable decorative paper hand towels. To really impress your guests, scan childhood pictures of the two of you through the years, laminate them, and post them on the bathroom walls.

To some, paying attention to the restroom that your guests will use, might seem silly, but it creates a total effect and impression that you have left no detail overlooked on your wedding day.

Wedding Day Details Not To Miss~Games For The Kids

A Game Plan For the Kids

Why? Even if you love children, you won't want them disrupting the wedding ceremony or reception. Have a plan to keep little ones at their best.

How to do it? At the ceremony, have an usher hand out coloring books and crayons. At mealtime, seat little ones with their parents so they'll be in top form while eating. If lots of kids will be attending, setting up a nearby room with games, craft supplies, and DVDs guarantees that they'll have a good time during the reception (as will their eternally grateful parents).

Wedding Day Details Not To Miss~Part Two; The Entrance

The Entrance

Why? No matter where you wed, first impressions are essential. A personalized entryway will make your site more welcoming and help guests feel at home almost immediately. An entry way that has some detail, gives guests an idea as to what is in store for the remainder of the event. It tells them that their presence is important.

How to do it? If you're having an outdoor wedding, hang leis of orchids or sun-catching glass ornaments on the surrounding trees. Paper luminaries lining the walk way make your path special. Framed or matted photos of the bride and groom hanging from lower tree branches can also guide guests towards your event. For a ballroom, have your florist create a tall floral arrangement for your escort card table. It will be the first thing guests see as they enter your reception area. A rustic affair calls for tons of lanterns lining the pathways, or hanging from tree branches.

How to do it First, include a map or add a link to Google Maps on your wedding website so that guests have an idea of where they're going. As a safeguard, consider including a map from the ceremony site to the reception venue in your programs or your invites. For the day-of, create signage for each wedding spot (the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) directing guests where to go. If it's an outdoor wedding, make or buy a wooden sign and paint it with an arrow. For a more sophisticated soiree, consider using printed black-and-white-framed signage in a scripted font.
