What will your guests actually remember from your wedding day?
While you may be overwhelmed by all of the possibilities with planning a wedding, here's what your guests care about and what they will remember.
Hi! I am Elizabeth Jones, wedding planner & event coordinator, guiding you through your wedding planning journey. If you are in the middle of the planning process, you've been overwhelmed a time or two with how many options there are out there. There is no 1 way to a wedding and there is no ultimate guide with every single possibility, but here's what your guests actually care about and will remember after the wedding day.
Love In The Air
They care about the love!
Your guests want to see the love between you two, the special moments, and the emotions. It is, personally, my favorite part!
Personalization
Your wedding guests love to see personalized details showing off your love. Instead of using generic items, opt for a more personalized guestbook, favors, table items, etc.
The Entertainment
Will you have a live band, DJ, games, photo booth, etc. to keep your guests entertained? When considering options for cocktail hour or reception, think in the perspective of a guest. Have you attended a wedding in the past that you thought was the most fun? Did you dance the night away, play yard games, or stay in the photo booth?
What part of that event kept you entertained? Imagine what your guests will be doing in each part of the night. Will they be sitting down for an hour waiting on dinner, without entertainment or food? While your wedding day is all about you and your fiancé, your guest experience is important. Your loved ones are gathering together to celebrate you! Keep that in mind when planning the evening portion of your day.
Dinner Experience
Don't you love to go out and eat some good food... I sure do. Your dinner doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be tasty.
