Many couples tell me that celebrating their guests is as important to them as celebrating their love. Make this known. At the beginning of your ceremony, tell your guests exactly why you've invited them to attend your wedding. What is it about having guests that is meaningful to you? Why these particular people? What do they contribute to your life? What do you feel they will contribute to your marriage?
By sharing your thoughts with them, you invite them more deeply into your ceremony. They will feel special. And encouraged to support you as you endeavor into marriage.
I've previously posted about Daniel Sroka's fabulous fine art photography ketubahs, http://www.modernketubah.com, but in passing along his contact information today to a friend who will distribute it widely, I made a point I wanted to restate here. This art is equally perfect for couples who want a non-religious marriage contract or means for making a beautiful display of their wedding vows. This concept would also make a lovely contribution to the creation of an original vow-renewal ceremony.
AND ALSO AN ORIGINAL WEDDING GIFT...
If you are going to be a guest at a wedding and want an original gift to give, consider this gift of fine art! After the ceremony, simply ask the couple for a copy of their vows and send them to Daniel. Select a photograph you think will be suit the married couple and, voila! -- you've just easily created a one-of-a-kind gift of fine art that provides an everlasting memory of their wedding day.
AND HERE'S MY FAVORITE IDEA -- FROM THE GROOM FOR HIS BRIDE
Grooms often need suggestions for wedding gifts for their brides. If you know a groom, give him this information to consider. A unique gift to give his bride; she will be wowed!
