Reuse Heirlooms<\/h2>\n

See what interesting trinkets your parents or grandparents may have for your decorations. Does your mom have a vintage cakestand? Do your grandparents have some cute old teacups that may be chipped (perfect for candle votives)? Ask around and bring all the items together- they could make for a perfect vintage look.<\/p>\n

Photograph Table Centres<\/h2>\n

Make your reception more intimate and include personal family photographs. Why not use old wedding photos as part of a theme for your wedding. Its a great way to pay homage to them and it’ll really get your guests talking!<\/p>\n

Guest Contributions<\/h2>\n

Do you have an aunt who makes amazing cupcakes? Ask a guest to make something special as part of your wedding (you could also ask for it to be your gift for the wedding). Or do you have a friend who loves taking photos? Ask them to set up a DIY photobooth in a space near the reception. These are everywhere at the moment and make for fantastic memories afterwards!<\/p>\n

Personalised Thank You Notes\/D\u00e9cor Stationery<\/h2>\n

Handwritten looking designs are hugely popular right now, so why not create all of your d\u00e9cor and thank you notes by hand? Buying pretty paper can be more economical when\u00a0purchased in bulk and may actually save you in the long run when you consider printing and design costs.\u00a0It\u2019s a great way to make your Thank you notes look more unique and more you!<\/p>\n
