From unforgettable moments to low-key touches, today’s couples want to make the ultimate personal statement with their wedding details and décor. To bring you real inspiration that’s both meaningful and attainable, we went to our Facebook community, The Wed Thread, to ask how couples have incorporated their personalities and unique love stories into their day. Here are a few of our favorite personalized reception ideas.
“I’m a zookeeper, so we named our tables for endangered animals, and our place cards were rose gold animal cutouts.” —Kaylee
“Our late-night snack was my husband’s favorite guilty pleasure: Domino’s thin-crust pizza and Peroni beer.” —Katie
“We both absolutely love movies, so we played an assortment of songs from our favorite films.” —Meaghan
“Since we share a love for The Goonies, we gifted guests with Baby Ruth candy bars, and our officiant began our service by saying, ‘Hey, you guys!’” —Kaitlin
“My partner and I played Words With Friends against each other for months before we ever met in person. As a tribute to the game, we used Scrabble table numbers.” —Lindsey
“I’m Puerto Rican, and my husband is proud of his Southern roots. We served a South of the Border and Mason-Dixon Line menu, giving guests a taste of both of our backgrounds.” —Kaeyla
“When my husband and I began dating, he asked me a ‘would you rather’ question, so we displayed jars of those same questions on reception tables.” —Jessica
“My spouse is a chef, so I had fresh herbs in my bouquet and we made infused olive oil favors.” —Caitlyn
