Nothing done yet, but plan on making petal votives, maybe invites, petal cones, and cry packages. Also, our escort table CP will be very FI.

Ours will be all of our DIY things. Also, for the elder guests who are staying in hotels (which will be all of them), instead of OOT boxes (I just don't think they will make use of them)......we're purchasing comfy plush slippers for them and placing them in their roooms for when they get there

Re: What are your unique little touches???

Wrote our vows and most of the ceremony
Poesey rings (his says ‘from my soul’ mine says ‘you and no other’)
We programmed every song at our reception, it was all background music so people could talk if they wanted to and then had a casino for entertainment (poker, blackjack, cr@ps, roulette)
Programs
Menus
Tissue Packs
Giant tree with tea lights I made as a decoration in reception room
Leaves in a box with grass as placecards
Chocolate colored Aisle runner (everyone mentioned - it's NOT white!)
Ceremony decor: vases I painted to match my theme to line the aisles, had a mahogany arbor built to be married under, I bought pots of mums & grasses (and brought them the morning of the wedding ) and had them put all around the arbor, candle chandelier for tent we were married in, tea lights hanging from the sides, ribbon curtain for behind the officiant
DH's sister played the flute instead of doing a 'reading'
Petal cones
Bathroom baskets
Coordinating guest towels in bathroom (from BB & B!)
I made wheat bundles for my centerpieces
Personalized barrel matches & cigars
My fall table numbers
I wore leopard shoes & red nail polish
All my BMs wore leopard shoes
Hired the actual band that performs our first dance song to play it live
Cardbox with our pictures
Pumpkin votives & pumpkin vases (carved out mini-pumpkins)
Had a cake topper custom made of my cats

I'm probably forgetting stuff – I had a busy year!

PEOPLE NOTICED EVERYTHING!! Pics in my album of most stuff but I haven't uploaded everything yet.

ETA: I forgot - I made a sign for on the corner where you needed to turn for our hall

Oh my gosh. You must have been working on that for so many months. I had some DIY projects in mind but have tabled them, worrying that they'd look cheesy or cheap. But your stuff looked so great, you've inspired me to go for it.

The one really cute thing that we're doing that I LOVE is we're hiring a chestnut cart and a hot apple cider cart and giving both to our guests as they leave the reception. I'm also having an old time photo booth. FH hates both of these ideas, lol, but I think they're ADORABLE!!

They're the um, votive candles in a glass votive holder ( I know you're not supposed to use the word in the definition lol) but some chicks get the guests names and tables printed on vellum labels and stick them on so when everyone brings them to the table it's all candle lit and pretty. And it can double as a favor.
