A family wedding should be meaningful for everyone. Finding the best venue and having a celebration that encourages lots of guest involvement is a sure way to create long-lasting memories of the day you said “I do”! In this post, we will be exploring how you can incorporate these ideas to make your family wedding unforgettable.
A Wedding Venue that Brings Everyone Together
For a wedding venue to bring everyone together, it must be a setting where everyone can connect. This can present quite a challenge as you seek to entertain your great-grandmother as well as your newest nephew. The best way to approach this challenge is by thinking about how you can incorporate experiences that transcend age gaps.
So, what are some things that everyone appreciates regardless of age? The first would be a wedding venue that holds significance to your family– maybe a favorite vacation spot. Or it could be a location that boasts serene natural beauty, which kinda sounds like Camp Hosea! (We know– shameless plug) click me to learn more!
Planning a Family Wedding with Personal Traditions
As we said before, guest involvement is the name of the game when creating long-lasting memories during your wedding. A great way to get your guests involved with your celebration is through the personal traditions that your family holds dear.
These personal traditions could be an extravagant family ritual or could be as simple as the board game you play during family game night. Perhaps, you are having your wedding in the dead of summer, your grandma has a killer apple pie recipe, and nothing makes you feel more connected to your roots than apple pie with a heaping scoop of ice cream on a scorching summer day.
Encouraging Wedding Ceremony Guest Involvement
As you think about the various ways you can involve your guests in your wedding ceremony, think about how you can involve them in your ceremony as well. Guest involvement in a ceremony typically looks like giving family members parts to play in the ceremony.
For the youngest members of the family, involvement in the wedding ceremony could look like being a ring bearer or a flower girl. For those who may be close to your age, they could fill a role as a bridesmaid or groomsman. For your older relatives, this could look like being a matron of honor.
Wedding Ideas for a Memorable Experience
Ultimately, memorable experiences are the root of human connection. Weddings symbolize the pinnacle of this in their display of marriage. As you look to cultivate memorable experiences for yourself, your spouse, and all of your guests, you can trust that as you invite your guests to share in the experience of your wedding day, they will leave with memories they will never forget.
