Ways to be a cool bride




1. Team bride or team groom badges
A fun way to help your guests get to know each other is by giving them “bride” or “groom” badges at your wedding day or at an event prior. Guests can wear the badge so that they can easily tell if someone is an acquaintance of the bride or groom – it’s an automatic icebreaker, and makes for a great conversation starter among your guests as well!

2. Save wedding cards as a book
Did you get tons of heartfelt, sweet notes with your gift and don’t want to throw them away? Well luckily for you, you don’t need to! Simply 3-hole punch the cards and put binder rings through them to make a simple but meaningful book of all the cards from your wedding day.

3. The balloon release first-look
This is one of the most adorable ideas for the first look photos that we’ve seen in a while! The idea is that each person hold a bunch of balloons as they’re being led to their first look. When it’s time, they release the balloons and get to see their future spouse!

4. Wedding programs with deets about the bridal party
Everyone wants to know who the people in the bridal party are – but oftentimes, it’s hard to get the whole story without doing some serious wedding sleuthing! Make your curious guests happy by providing brief bios of your party in their programs – that way, you’ll be able to automatically introduce your party to the guests, and honor them at the same time!

5. Wedding photos with messages to loved ones
Have a relative who can’t make it? Create unique signage for your wedding photos so you can send them a special, heartfelt message from your special day. Even if they couldn’t attend, they’ll feel like they were still a special part of your day, and they’ll have a meaningful keepsake that will last forever.

6. Show how each bridesmaid knows the bride
This is a wonderful idea that helps to remind the bridesmaids and the bride about their relationship! Have your bridesmaids hold signs that tell when they first met the bride, or their special relationship to her. You’ll all be able to look back on the photo and feel amazed at how far you’ve come together!

Get guests home safely with artfully displayed taxi information
This idea is as practical as it is pretty! To avoid unsafe situations with drinking and driving, provide an easy way for guests to contact cab services in your area. This way, everyone will have a great time at your wedding, and not have to worry too much about finding their way back home or to the hotel!

8. Single drink kits as souvenirs or gifts
Looking for a unique and affordable way to say “thanks” to your guests? Or maybe you just want to gift your bridal party with a little pick-me-up? Either way, single drink kits are a fun and novel way to charm and delight your friends.

9. Wedding decor with personal touches
We love incorporating meaningful touches to your wedding day – and old family photos as decor is a great way to do that! We love how this creative couple added copies of old family photos to their reception dinner menus. It’s unexpected, yet sweet. There are tons of great ways to incorporate old photos with personal meaning, from escort cards to table numbers to menus…the possibilities are endless!

10. Photos of the bride before the wedding day with countdown signs
This is one of our favorite ideas we’ve seen in a while! At various wedding-related gatherings or special events before the wedding day, have the bride take photos with a sign that shows how far away her wedding day is. That way, you get a cool photo countdown effect to the special day that you can look back on a cherish forever! Because the big day is so much more than one day – it’s a culmination of all the planning and efforts that went into it, and being engaged is a year of your life that you’ll never forget.
