What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

Or would you like to add. I have seen so many cute ideas in at other weddings and in magazines! Thought we could start a thread with all of those ideas. I will start:

My friend had such great touches. Her cake topper was bobble heads of her and her husband. Her table numbers were pictures of her dog in a tux!

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

I think I'll put pictures of FH and I as the table numbers.

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

I am doing daisies and having all my Cps different at each table, having a few pooh things and hopefully have my table numbers with my puppies dresses in a tux and dress. FH isnt too fond of the last idea but, I'll do it anyway if the outifts arent that expensive. My brain isnt working to its fullest right now but, I want to say there is something else. I need sleep!!!

**** Unity candle, making myself, memory candle as well. Making my own cardbox, mailbox. My own invitations and matching programs.

thinking of having Mr. Met show up, take some photos with us, mingle and dance with the guests, etc...

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

Well i'm not doing this but for a winter wedding one of our neighbors had santa clause come and give out the favors to each couple. The women were on the nice list and the men were on the naughty list. They wrapped the favors up like christmas presents and gave ornaments.

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

After the quote of the day started yesterday, I've been thinking of having different love quotes with the table numbers. I love quotes! Freshman year of college I printed out hundreds of different quotes and posted them all over my room lol.

I would like to do Bathroom Baskets and OOT bags. Not sure what else..

Oh yeah... DIY monogrammed cake topper and We Do letters...

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

Signature drinks we're trying to name a drink after ourselves

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

I'm going to try to make my placecard holders out of wine bottle corks that I have my entire family collecting Not like anyone really needs a reason to drink wine though We are doing a wine theme so this should fit perfectly!

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

Signature drinks
Living statues at the cocktail hour
Lots of little different favors
Candy bar

I'm sure I'll do others but not sure yet

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

I am going to try and include as many family members as I can.

So far (besides the norm):

Eucharistic Ministers- Aunt & Uncle who already do this at my church

Ceremony Music: FH's Aunt and Uncle are choir directors at their church, she will sing and he is going to play the organ

Blessing before we eat: I would like FH's uncle to say grace before dinner. He is a minister and always has the best toasts.

I know it sounds like we are a very religious family and we are not but since these people are I figured it was a great way to include them and make it special.

Monograms/other Details: one of closet friends is a graphic designer for Sotheby's she has offered to design programs, monogram, and other things

And then, well, I am looking on here for ideas!!!

Re: What "little touches" are you adding to your wedding?

-steel drum band at CH

-photobooth

-table numbers made from our e-pics

-pics of our grandparents and parents from their wedding day

-singing happy birthday to my cousin who's bday falls on our wedding day

ETA:

-uncle playing bagpipes

-aunt singing at church

-our godparents doing the readings
