Fun Ideas

Clinking of glasses

Looking for a unique alternative to "clinking glasses" at your wedding reception? Announce to your guests that in order for you to kiss, they must stand up and tell a story, or share a memory, about either you or your fiancé, or about you as a couple. Then get ready to reminisce, to laugh, and to brush away tears. Your guests will be kept entertained and you'll have so many more special memories of your big day to look back upon.

Bride and Groom Gift

Many brides or grooms struggle with the dilemma of what to get for the love of their life as a wedding gift. On this most important of all occasions, it has to be something extra special... and very romantic, but somehow the ideas just don't seem to flow. We found a unique idea that we absolutely love - the perfect solution... You can have a star named after your sweetheart as a wedding gift to them. Yes, an actual star in the sky. For years, The International Star Registry has been naming stars for celebrities and dignitaries worldwide. One of their Star Registry certificates was featured in an episode of the NBC television show "Cheers!". You can do this for the person you love as a unique and utterly unforgettable gift. The International Star Registry gift package includes a 12" x 16" parchment certificate, available framed or unframed, with the name of the person you are naming a star after, the dedication date, and telescopic coordinates of the star. You'll also receive an informative booklet with charts of the constellations plus a larger, more detailed chart with the star you've named encircled in red. These star names are copyrighted with their telescopic coordinates in the book, "Your Place in the Cosmos," so future generations may identify the star name in the directory and, using a telescope, locate the actual star in the sky! It really is the gift of a lifetime. What could be more perfect for the person who is the star in the story of your life? It’s an excellent idea as an anniversary gift for special people in your life as well.

Special Bouquet

Every bride is looking for unique ideas and special ways to make her wedding more meaningful. Here is a wonderful and very touching idea to honor the two mothers at the wedding ceremony. But be certain to have lots of hankies on hand because this is guaranteed to tear up the eyes of everyone present.

Ask your floral designer to design two detachable floral sprays into your bouquet. After your father walks you down the aisle, just before he turns to leave you and take his seat, remove one of the special flowers from your bouquet. Hand it to him and give him a kiss. Let him know in advance that this will take place and tell him that as he takes his seat in the pew with your mother, he is to present the flower to her on your behalf.

Then at the conclusion of the ceremony, as you begin to make your way back up the aisle as husband and wife, stop at the pew where your mother-in-law is seated. Remove the second special flower from your bouquet and present it to her, along with a kiss, before continuing up the aisle.

Don't tell the moms in advance that this will be taking place! It is the element of surprise which helps to make this so very sweet and special. There will not be a dry eye in the room...
