Chances are, that you, your family and your guests have attended like a gazillion weddings... so how do you make sure that everyone remembers yours? One way is throw a bash of a lifetime.. another easier and much more cost effective way is to add a personal touch to your wedding. Personalise elements in a way that puts a smile on everyone's face, and they remember your wedding for the cute little details that made them feel special.

You can do this on your own, or get someone creative to do it. Have your own wedding motif and personalise your wedding cards, itinerary, dressing gowns, napkins... basically whatever you can using this.
Monogram it!

Another cute way is to use both your monograms wherever you can... in the décor, on the wedding cake, floating in the pool etc etc. You can either use just the initials, or make it more like a 'A & S'.
Hashtag it!

This is a new trend that's catching up, but getting your own personal wedding hashtag, which isn't necessarily with your names is another special way to personalise weddings. Make sure the guests use the hashtag on every picture they personally upload to their social media as well!

Whether it is the hamper you're sending with the card, the one you choose to give every guest who attended, or the one you keep as a welcome hamper in their rooms, make sure it has something special apart from the usual stuff, which will just make it all the more special! You can have something like tiny bottles of both your signature scents or an exotic tea or coffee you guys love in the hamper.
Tell your proposal story in a unique way!

We've seen a bride get her love story embroidered on to her wedding lehenga, and another one who got it drawn on her mehendi! You can get as creative as you want with this!

They look so cute and make the pictures even more adorable! You can personalise a lot of stuff in the bridal room with stuff like the board at the entrance, heels, slippers, bathing gown and hangers!
Add a signature cocktail
Have an open bar? Invent your own signature cocktail for the wedding and write it down on a chalkboard! You can even give it some cute name like in the wedding above!
Personalised 'Thank You'

You can get them printed, signed or handwritten, but make sure to add a personalised 'Thank You' from both of you to whoever took some time out for your wedding. You can place them on every table with a stand, as a coaster or maybe add it to the wedding hampers.
