Part of the fun of planning your wedding is finding ways to make it reflect your personality.

In this article, we show you how to personalise a wedding with some unique ideas and personal touches.

Putting your unique stamp on your wedding day will make it memorable in all the right ways. Read on for our 10 ways to create your own personalised wedding day.

1. Honour family heirlooms and traditions

Wearing a precious item that belonged to a family member is the ultimate personal touch. This could be your grandmother’s wedding dress or a ring that once belonged to a loved one.

You can also honour family traditions by recreating your mother’s bridal bouquet or getting married on the same day as your parents. These personal touches are especially poignant if you are paying tribute to a loved one who has passed away.

2. Display old family photos

Convey your sense of personality by creating a display of old family photos. It will help your guests get a feel of who you are as a person and set the scene for the next phase of your life.

For a nostalgic touch, include photos of your parents’ or grandparents’ wedding.

3. Design your own cocktail

This fun activity is a chance to crystallise what you and your partner are all about. Recreate the flavours you encountered on a favourite holiday or remix a classic cocktail.

You could even create a cocktail that fits in with your wedding theme with a matching colour or a fitting name.

4. Provide personalised wedding glasses

Now that you’ve designed your own unique drink, you need some personalised wedding glasses to serve it in! You can have them engraved with your names and the date of your wedding.

Or you could even have your guests’ names etched on personalised glasses as a thoughtful alternative to wedding favours.

5. Make your own homemade goodies

If you’re known for your baking skills or have a signature dish, there’s no reason why you can’t include homemade goodies in your wedding meal.

Cookies and cupcakes always go down a treat. Or, if you’re a confident baker, you could even make the wedding cake yourself. Your guests will enjoy the food all the more knowing you cooked it yourself!

6. Create a personalised playlist

Instead of opting for the usual love songs played at weddings, make your own personalised playlist. Choose songs full of happy memories that you know will get everyone up on the dancefloor.

You can even ask your guests for ideas before the big day to make sure your playlist has something for everyone.

7. Have your guests shoot your wedding video

Instead of the usual cheesy wedding video, shoot it yourself with the help of your guests. Hire a few professional video cameras for guests to use and ask them to contribute with footage taken on their phones as well.

You might want to appoint a professional to capture the ceremony itself, but leave the rest to your guests and you’ll have a unique memento to cherish forever.

8. Provide your own wedding entertainment

If you and your partner are the creative sort, you can entertain your guests with your own wedding performance, whether that’s a musical recital, singing or dancing.

9. Get guests to sign a personalised wedding book

A personalised wedding book is a lovely way to capture your guests’ unique impressions of your special day.

You can even keep a Polaroid camera by the wedding book so guests can include a picture of themselves to add to their entry.

10. Customised wristbands as personalised wedding favours

If you’re looking for a keepsake for your guests to remember your day by, you won’t find a better solution than customised wristbands. They can be personalised with your names and wedding date. They also come in any colour to match the theme of your wedding.

Silicone wristbands are a great choice, as they’re comfortable to wear and will retain their good looks for years to come.

If you’re going for a festival or similar themed wedding, fabric wristbands will fit the bill perfectly.

There are Tyvek wristbands, too, which are ideal if you are holding your reception in a large public venue.

Let us help you add the personal touch to your wedding

Our fully customisable wristbands are a simple and affordable way to add the personal touch to your wedding.

We can customise them with any wording of your choice, and it doesn’t even matter if you’ve left some things to the last minute – we specialise in rush orders!

And if you’re planning your honeymoon as well, you can also check out our partner site, Mediband, for medical ID wristbands.

If you or your partner are living with a condition like asthma or allergy, be sure to order your medical alert IDs before you set off. They make diagnosing and treating you quicker and safer in the event of an emergency.

So make your wedding memorable and the start of your married life safe with our selection of personalised medical and non-medical wristbands.
