The majority of couples register at a department store or mainstream store that most guests have access to. Of course you don’t want to deviate from the registry too much, but here’s an idea to make your gift a bit more personal than the rest. Purchase a kitchen item from the bride and groom’s registry but pair it up with matching newlywed aprons and an appropriate cookbook. For instance, if you buy a Kitchen-Aid, include a cookbook specifically for baking, or if you went with the Chinese wok that they just had to have, pair it up with an Asian cookbook. You’re buying them something they wanted, and you’re also showing that you put your own thought into the gift.

And what if you’re the lucky bride or groom, looking to make your wedding memorable and unique for your guests? One way to accomplish this is by giving your bridal party members customized and unique gifts. Many brides like to give jewelry to their bridesmaids, but instead of buying everyone the same piece of jewelry, think about the different styles and preferences of your girls. Personalizing jewelry doesn’t have to be expensive, it just requires a bit more time and thought. Include initials, or give each girl a uniquely shaped necklace. No matter what, you want each girl to know that you thought about her preferences!

What about the rest of your wedding guests? How can you make them remember your wedding above all others? This is where humour and creativity really come into play. Some weddings have included karaoke as a part of their music preferences. Some of the best karaoke moments come after a few glasses of champagne! Another option is to personalize your wedding cake; it’s always one of the main attractions at any wedding. Include your initials on the cake itself, and/or personalize the traditional wedding cake toppers with fun and unique wedding cake toppers!

Weddings are truly a special event for everyone involved, and we all want our role in that special day to be unique and memorable. Whether it’s thinking outside the box for a unique gift, providing custom bridal accessories, or making your cake a little funky and one-of-a-kind, have fun and enjoy the day!
