Fresh finds, unique ideas, and hot trends in the world of weddings

Between your mother-in-law’s bridge club and your fiance’s college lacrosse team, chances are not everyone attending your wedding will know much about the chain of events resulting in their being “gathered here today.” Fill them in with professionally written and designed keepsake booklets that relay how you met, how he proposed, and other notable moments in your lives together.
Pause here for a moment to say, “ick,” at this seemingly cheesy idea, then think of it this way: The magazine-style brochure or booklet will bring home the emotion of your celebration while preventing you from having to explain how you met to one of his distant relatives when you’d rather be partying with friends. Another plus? These booklets can double as wedding favors for your guests.
The process takes anywhere from three months to a year, beginning with an in-depth interview with a professional writer. You’ll select a design and color palette and submit engagement photos or personal snapshots (professional photography is preferred, but not required).
