One of the things about weddings that can often set a couple off on the wrong foot is the amount of money they cost. Between splurging on dresses, venues, and flowers, there’s also the extra expectation of coming up with some fun, unique wedding favors that can often cost more than you’d planned.
Thankfully, one couple shared their ingenious idea for wedding favors that don’t break the bank and will get everyone talking.
In the video posted by evermorevideo, you can see the guests enter the venue and find at their table setting a picture of themselves with the bride and/or groom at some poignant time in their history.
According to the video, the newlyweds had gone through years of photo albums to find a photo of their guest with them.
As you can see in the video, the guests were thrilled with the photo. It’s not surprising, as the bride and groom would have had to have gone through thousands of images to choose the perfect photo and it shows just how much the guest means to them.
And this is exactly what a wedding should be about. It’s the coming together of friends and families who have supported both the bride and groom at some point in their life, and who will hopefully continue to offer this support as the couple start married life.
However, the added bonus with this sort of idea is it can be the perfect ice breaker for guests. They can talk to fellow guests about that specific moment in time, and that can lead to the natural conversation of how they know the bride and groom.
While this couple chose to just place a photo on each place setting, if you wanted to copy the idea you could always put the image in a frame — although sometimes it’s these more simple and cheaper ideas that work the best!
And today we celebrate...
