It is your wedding reception to celebrate your love for each other and forge your future. Making it like no other reception is important. There are several ways you can show your guests “your story.”

Your Couple Uniqueness

When your wedding reception includes a celebration of your unique personalities and your story as a couple, it adds so much more to the experience.

Think about the entire story behind your falling in love.

How and where did you meet? On vacation? At a horrible workplace?
Was it a silly experience or a very serious one?
What were your wearing back then?
Who introduced you?
What did you think of each other? Was it love at first sight?

Discuss these details with your partner and come up with “your story.” Then incorporate these details with the obligatory heartwarming details heavily peppered with a good sense of humor.

Here are some ideas on how to weave your story into your reception.

  • Put on a short, funny skit of your story. Make the telling a little quirky and fun when highlighting the most important moments. Make it last no more than 15 minutes.
  • Offer a slide show over dinner. Feature places and people you met along the way. Have your engagement photo at the ending.
  • Include décor symbolic elements. Did you meet at a park? Include wildflowers on the table. Did he write you a sticky note? Include sticky notes all over the tables.
  • Personal meaning wedding favors. Pack a bag with little things that represent what you love as a couple, a surprise baby announcement, sand from the beach where you met, etc.
