5 Ways to Make Your Wedding Feel Like A VIP Event
Your wedding day is a milestone you'll cherish forever, and it's equally important that your guests share in this unforgettable experience. At Ashlynn Rose Events, our focus extends beyond just creating a wonderful day for you and your partner. We place great importance on the overall experience of your guests, ensuring that they too have an enjoyable and memorable time. The most standout weddings are those that offer something distinct and memorable. Whether it's through thoughtful little touches or grand gestures, there are countless ways to enhance the experience for your guests.
So, let's dive into my top 5 strategies to elevate your wedding, ensuring it's not just special for you, but for everyone who joins in your celebration.
1. Interactive and Personalized Escort Cards
Ditch the standard paper escort cards and opt for something more engaging and personal. Imagine your guests finding their seats through personalized ornaments or miniature flower vases with their names on them. These not only guide them to their tables but also serve as charming keepsakes. The uniqueness of this approach sets the tone for the evening, highlighting attention to detail and personalization.
2. Luxurious Welcome Gifts
Welcome gifts are a great opportunity to show your appreciation for your guests' presence. Go beyond generic items and include local treats that represent your favorite flavors, upgraded alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, and self-care items. Spokane favorites include Bruttles candy, Huckleberry flavored treats from Greenbluff, and ciders from No-Li Brewery .
3. A Twist on Cocktail Hour and Late Night Snacks
Begin and conclude your wedding with unforgettable and unique elements that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. For the cocktail hour, why not set up interactive stations? Picture a specialty drink station complete with a skilled mixologist creating custom beverages, complete with playful foam or wafer logos tailored to your event. Or, imagine the charm of a live cigar roller. Then, as the evening winds down, surprise your guests one final time with a perfect late-night snack from a local favorite. Here in Spokane, our top pick for that ultimate midnight treat is a toss up between Good-dilla and Chick-fil-a.
4. Childcare Services
For guests with children, providing childcare services at the venue can be a thoughtful gesture. It ensures that everyone, regardless of age, has a great time. Set up a separate area nearby where the event is taking place where children have the space to be a kid, play with toys, have pizza, watch a movie. This allows adults to enjoy the celebration while knowing their children are safe and entertained nearby.
5. Transportation and Valet Services
Providing shuttle and valet services adds a touch of luxury and convenience for your guests. It ensures a stress-free arrival and departure, especially appreciated by those unfamiliar with the area or attending a celebration where alcohol is served.
