Nine Ways to Personalize Your Wedding

Weddings are all about you—and your special day should reflect that! Take full advantage of this opportunity to be selfish and splash you and your partner’s name wherever you can… without overdoing it, of course. There are tons of ways to get creative with monograms, initials, and other personalization throughout your wedding. And not only will your guests be able to take home something that will remind them of the big day for years to come, but you’ll also have your own special keepsake(s) as well. Here are some ideas for ways to personalize your wedding decor, ceremony, and reception.

Signage

Neon Wedding Sign

This is a super nifty way to display you and your partner’s initials while also giving guests a neat backdrop to take photos in front of. Invest in a Polaroid camera or two to have on hand for them to take photos with too, and then you can put together a photo album to reflect on the night long after it’s over!

Koozies

Keep your guests’ drinks cold and send them home with an entertaining keepsake with personalized koozies! Get them in your wedding colors and choose a funny phrase, or simply monogram with you and your partner’s name and wedding date.

Wedding Favors

These North Carolina grits—personalized with the bride and groom’s name and wedding date!—are a great way to send your guests home with a little taste of NC, further showcasing a crucial part of your story.

Napkins

This couple not only monogrammed their napkins, but included fun facts about each other on them! This is such a witty idea for guests to get to know you better—and maybe learn a thing or too they didn’t already know.

Guest Book

Putting you and your partner’s name and wedding date on the front cover of your guest book will really make it your own. Think of it like the front cover to your very own love story!

Bar

At Melrose Knitting Mill, we even give you the option of decorating our bar with you and your partner’s name! This way you can choose whatever font you want so it’s uniquely you.

Matchbook + Newspaper

Melrose Flat Lay
Jill Disney

This couple went all in, creating a newspaper with their very own love story and wedding date, along with a monogrammed matchbook their guests could take home. We love this idea because now, every time your guests light a match, they will be reminded of your wedding day.

Signature Cocktail

Give your guests a taste of your go-to beverage with a signature cocktail. Some couples choose just one, while others have one for each partner—or if you have pets you can name a drink after them!

Table Settings

These table settings are such a cute way to showcase your couple photos! The vinyl theme is so vintage, but you could definitely go more modern as well.
