Have you heard this many times – personalizing your wedding is the way this day stands out. To help you have a unique wedding (and make you feel that is truly your wedding), we present five creative ways for planning a wedding protocol but also to give a personal touch to this precious day.Go one step further by including a personalized map of the place where you will marry, with cute illustrations to indicate where the pre-party game of golf will be held, reception and (of course) for the ceremony locations. Will you get married in a city that you love? Include arrows on invitations to all your favorite places. If you’ll get married during a long weekend, probably the guests out of your town will make a mini-vacation starting from them – show them where is the best park, how to find your favorite bar and where they can delight with the best ice cream on Sunday.

Your vows
One of our favorite ways to customize a wedding: write your vows. After all, the promises you make to your lover is the reason for why you plan a wedding protocol. That being said, not all officiates or churches allow couples to utter their vows. If you cannot write promises, think to do this in the wedding program. You could write something together and print your words (be it the vows, a favorite poem, a quote or a personal joke) on programs.
How to customize
Include traditional elements of the family or your home town in your wedding day - whether in dress, with a mixture of music, during cocktail hour, or in the welcome boxes.
Transportation
Although renting a limousine is certainly making an occasion to be special, you can customize your wedding cars, leading your guests in a car that speaks a lot about you as a pair. We know couples who have gone inside of tubes on the river and brought decorated bikes in tandem. Other ideas: take a ride in a taxi times, flying on a mint-colored Vespa motorcycle (or even one blue, to have something blue), or take your goodbye from the board of a boat.
First dance
We congratulate everyone who has the courage to go out on the dance floor in front of a crowd of people. But if you step in front, consider to make a big step. Book your time to think about the song that you will choose and opt for one that actually means something to both and don’t stop here! Your wedding dance can be more meaningful if you enter a short tango while dancing in simple way. Take dance lessons and ask an instructor to help you realize the choreography for a first dance that is totally unique attraction of the series.
Menu
Many couples use candy (or canned pink M & M) and cocktails (usually all end in “tini” sounds good and tastes good), to incorporate the colors of the wedding day in menu. You can also customize your menu only serving local cuisine or a particular kind (such as French patisserie, if you have engaged in Paris or if the groom’s family is from France). If you serve sorbet as an intermediate (between salad and appetizer), ask to be marked with sauce your monogram as newlyweds over each cup.
As a lasting impression, offer a gift at the end of the evening. Midnight snack (anything from light snacks with monogram to your favorite mini-burgers with fries, which are becoming increasingly popular – keep the dancefloor busy asking waiters to serve cookies to your grandparents or paper cones filled with “Nuts for both” full of peanuts.) A wedding final in a sugar touch is the sweetest way to end the evening.
