1. Cupcakes - Cupcakes normally cost less per person, you don't need to pay a cutting fee to the venue and they are easy to eat!
2. Scrabble Pieces - I've got to say that these look really cute in pictures.
3. Candy Buffets - Who doesn't want to fill a loot bag with candies after a party?!
4. Photobooths - I must admit, I've fallen victim to this. This really got everyone talking and my guests had a blast trying on props and snapping pictures they could take home with them! The funny DIY props are even better!
5. "Rock the Reception" First Dances - I love watching these - when the bride and groom spend hours practicing a rehearsed dance - whether it be a ballroom/latin piece or hiphop! They're so fun to watch and add an element of spunk to a traditional event.
6. Typewriters, Birdcages (for envelopes), and Mason Jars (as centrepieces) - Beautiful and romantic.
7. Fliplops and Pashminas - Such a kind gesture for the bride and groom to think about their guests' poor feet as they've been standing/dancing for so long or when their guests could get cold at an outdoor location.
8. Creative Guestbooks - The wishing tree, the fingerprint tree or signing a gigantic portrait of the couple are so popular and more interesting to look at than a traditional guestbook filled with lines.
9. Unique Shoes - White bridal shoes are no longer the norm. Brides often wear a pair of sparkly shoes or one that matches their wedding colour. And grooms, Chucks! I've even seen Toms! I really love it when the couples have the laces customized with their wedding dates.
10. Do-It-Yourself Projects - Weddings can be expensive and not everyone can afford to (or wants to) spend a fortune for one day. Do-It-Yourself projects save you money and makes your wedding more personal. For my wedding, my younger sister (who is a cake decorator) baked and decoarted cookies for us to give out as wedding favours.
