One of the best keepsakes that comes out of a wedding is the guest book. Within these books, people are able write all kinds of well wishes and pieces of advice. It’s always amusing, insightful, and thoughtful to go back and read these inscriptions. But there’s always so many things going on at a wedding, it’s easy to forget these kinds of details. But it would be a real shame to miss out on something as special as the guestbook.

So with aspects of the wedding like this, it’s a perfect time to utilize your maid of honor or best man. These are just the kind of jobs that they are there to complete. Put somebody in charge of the guest book, and then you won’t even have to worry about it again. Just make sure you specifically designate somebody to do the job. If you just announce that it needs to be done, it’s likely that nobody will take responsibility. Just make sure the person that takes the job is detail oriented. Otherwise, they might forget something important like the guest book pen!

Unique wedding favors which draw attention to the theme of the wedding will serve as lasting memories for you and your guests.  Wedding favors are often overlooked, or regarded as less important than flowers or the cake.  However, wedding favors are the only items you and your guests will take away from the wedding and potentially keep.  Thus to serve as lasting memories, it is important to have wedding favors which best represent the bride and groom and the love shared between them. 

If the bride and groom both love to cook, you might consider cookie cutters as wedding favors, or if both are religious and more traditional, candles representing heavenly light and warmth can make great favors as well.

There are a huge number of traditions within a wedding ceremony. In fact, just about every action is indicative of some kind of tradition, and as such, almost everything is filled with symbolism and import. This is particularly true of the lighting of the unity candle. Unity candles are relatively new in the world of weddings, and their use remains most popular in the United States. But this ceremony very clearly represents the joining of two separate entities into one stronger end result.

A unity candle ceremony starts by one representative of each family lighting a tapered candle. These representatives are usually the mother or father of the bride and groom. Then after the formal vows have been exchanged, the bride takes a lit pillar candle and the groom takes his lit pillar candle, and they use these smaller pillar candles to light a larger candle in the middle of the table. Some couples choose to save the unity candle and relight it on their anniversaries.

There are certain events in our lives that we’ll remember forever. Whatever the milestones in your life that stand out the most, your wedding day is invariably one of those days that you will always remember. But for many stressed out brides and grooms, the day is such a blur or last minute activities and preparation that the day itself can be lost. In fact, many newly married couples look back on the day only to realize they didn’t even get to have any of the delicious food, the expensive champagne, or the delectable wedding cake.

With that in mind, there are ways that happy couples can help themselves experience the day after all the excitement and planning are over. For one, make sure you hire a photographer that captures many of the darling, hilarious, or unforgettable moments that you might have missed. Also, look into wedding guest books, so you can read all the comments and well wishes from your friends and family for years to come.
