Using your food and drink to showcase your personality goes a long way in telling your story and entertaining your guests. Choosing food options that are meaningful to you and your partner is a great way to make the night yours.

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your food menu. If both you and your partner are a fan of waffles, for example, consider offering a delicious combo of chicken and waffles for an entree.

For drinks, you can’t go wrong with replicating the cocktail you and your soon to be spouse enjoyed on your first date. It will get your guests talking and pay homage to the night that started it all. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, give the drink a fun and playful name like “about thyme” or “mint to be.”

“A monogram detail is one of the most beloved and widespread tradition,”. according to an article by BBJ Linen about wedding design. Simple and meaningful, this elegant addition makes for a wonderful keepsake for loved ones after your vows are said.”

Adding the names of your guests to napkins and placeholders is also a great way to add some personalization to your wedding and ceremony. When making name tags and placeholders include your guest’s nicknames to make the evening even more special.
