5. Make Seating Fun and Interactive

"A selfie mirror seating chart sign makes finding your seat a blast! Guests can snap a fun photo while locating their table, adding a personalized touch to their wedding experience. It’s a clever way to combine practical information with an interactive display; creating lasting keepsakes for both the guests and the couple. Additionally, a beautifully designed seating chart adds an elegant and organized touch, enhancing the overall aesthetic and atmosphere of the wedding." ~ Claudia Brade, Shescloudy Calligraphy

6. Infuse Personal Touches

"Bring out your personalities and take elements that are meaningful to you and infuse them into the details of the wedding! This ensures that your guests have an experiential, one-of-a-kind wedding experience because there are no other weddings that will be exactly like yours. Having special performances or activities can also be a highlight and keep guests entertained through fun surprises and delights throughout the day." ~ Leah Hung, Two Perfect Events

7. Ensure Smooth Transitions

"Ensure your transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing are pithy; before guests can wonder when the next transition is taking place, they're being whisked away to the next portion of the evening." ~ Carrie Negri, Emily Coyne Events
