Around here we love anything unique and unexpected. But with weddings pouring in our inboxes day in and day out, it can be hard to get that Ah Ha moment. What we really want to say is, Yeeees! That is so awesome! Can we have that at our make believe someday wedding, pretty pleeeease! We scoured the web and can wholeheartedly say we have found the 21 greatest, insanely fun wedding ideas. We think you will agree.
1) Display Cue Cards at Your Ceremony
Just plain funny. Pros: Your guests will undoubtedly get a few laughs. Cons: The focus may not be entirely on you and your fiance.
2) Have an Artist Paint Your Ceremony
Wouldn't the picture be great displayed in your home afterwards? We also love the idea of having caricature sketches done.
3) Send Save the Dates that are a Little Cheeky
4) Opt for an Anniversary Pinata instead of a Traditional Guest Book
How fun would this be to open on your one year anniversary? Break open a bottle of bubbly and this pinata!
5) Instead of settling for just one angle, find your best side!
