Out With the Old, In With the New
What was popular yesterday is no longer popular today. Such is life. This is a fact in pretty much everything including weddings. Year after year, the trends evolve … out with the old, in with the new. So, what’s trending for 2019? Here are few ideas that we like.
Out With the Old, In With the New
Character Drawings
Hiring an artist to provide character drawings during your wedding reception is one of the latest trends, one that offers a lot. Not only does having a character artist on hand keep the guests entertained, it also gives them a memorable gift from your wedding. If you intend to hire one, have him or her complete yours before the reception. That way, the artist will have more time to spend on your guests. Displaying the drawing will let everyone know what they’ll receive.
Mindful Gifting
Out with the old, in with the new includes mindful gifting. If you like the sound of this trend, then make it easy on yourself and send out welcome information digitally. Then, plan a “goodie bag” assembly station for the bags, letting your guests create their own. Set out options like bottled water, various snacks and toiletries. This replaces the welcome bags that many couples offer when guests check-in to their hotels upon arriving for the wedding.
Bus Photo Op
With everything retro trending right now, a big one for weddings is a bus photo op. Set up in an old VW van, these portable photo booths take high-quality pics, the kind that your guests are going to want to frame. The bus offers a unique photo-taking experience. It also gives you a fun place to take exterior shots. What could be more vintagy than posing for a pic with an old, but perfectly refurbished, VW bus in the background?
Grazing Tables
Formal, multi-course meals that require you to ask if your guests want chicken, fish or steak on the wedding invitations are so very out. Instead, wedding planners are opting for abundant grazing tables that let guests walk around and choose what they want to eat. This set-up encourages mingling and makes it so you don’t have to worry about anyone’s allergies or specialty diets – we’re looking at you keto and vegan people. It also means that you can have fun things available like street tacos, a tapas bar and an ice cream sundae making station.
Out With the Old, In With the New
