Theme advice

My FI and I are going with a 10 year anniversary theme for our wedding. (our 10 year mark of dating will be 3 days after our wedding, we got together when we were 16). I am using the table numbers to represent years. Table one will be our first year together, table two our second year and so on. The centerpieces are photo cubes without tops and will be filled with flowers. Each cube will have photos from the corresponding year of our relationship. Beyond the centerpieces I am having trouble incoporating our theme. Any suggestions would be appriciated, especially anything about the guestbook. I want one but I want people to put more than their names. How to encourage sharing of stories, memories, etc.?

Re: Theme advice

  • You can make a book using snapfish.  Use photos of the two of your together through the years, and then have guests sign "yearbook" style around the photos.Beyond that, I'm not sure that I'd add much more to your theme.A little theme:  good.  Too much theme:  not good.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
  • Guestbook is a phto book of pictures of teh last 10 years  
  • Thanks ladies I like the photo book idea and you are right a little theme goes a long way.
  • If you are serving alcohol you can choose a 10 year old wine or have a "Ten and Tonic" as your signature drink (Tanqueray Ten and Tonic).  I think thats a subtle nod to the theme without going over board!
  • well, 10 is the aluminium or tin year as well, maybe tie that in somehow?
  • I agree a little goes a long way with themes.
