Personalized Wedding Hangers

Personalized wedding hangers are seriously cute! One of those things I think to myself, "Why didn't I think of that!?" and also, "Where were these when I got married!?" Well, someone thought of it, and I may have missed the boat for my own wedding, but it's not too late for you!

I've seen these all over wedding blogs and Etsy and always admire how cute they are. Then one day while browsing Craigslist, yes, Craigslist, I stumbled upon Custom Wedding Hangers by Lauren! A local gal making and selling her creations. I have a good friend that's getting married in September so I thought this would make the perfect before wedding gift for her! I contacted Lauren and within a week I had my hanger! And the best part, she only charges $20! Seriously, what a deal! The craftsmanship is awesome, she lets you pick what kind of embellishment you want, what color of hanger, and what you want it to say - truly a 100% customized piece, and did I mention for only $20!?

If you're interested in ordering a hanger for yourself or for a friend, I recommend it! I was so excited to gift this to the bride to be and seeing her face when she opened it, so fun!

Want to order?

You can order from Lauren by contacting her by email at danielsl@onid.orst.edu - and tell her MonogramWedding sent you!

See how cute they are in use!?

Lawn Games

Summer is the perfect time to host events outside! Lawn games are always a hit and keep your guests entertained, even if they are just watching. If you want your party to go on for hours provide games for your guests to play! Our personal favorite lawn game, Corn Hole. To add an Olympic twist, create a bracket and have medals for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd! {Gold chocolate coins perhaps!?}

Wedding Programs :: Do I need one?

Deciding if you need a wedding program or not is 100% up to the bride and groom. Programs are a chance to really be fun and creative or elegant and traditional. They really add that extra special touch to your wedding day! They are a welcome addition to your wedding ceremony and provide your guests with an overview of how the ceremony and or reception will proceed, is a chance to introduce your wedding party {so grandma isn't talking during the ceremony asking who each groomsmen and bridesmaid are!}, say a special thank you, or honor family & friends.

Do I need a program for every single guest?

Chances are no, especially if your head count includes children. If you are planning on having your programs set out on chairs or church pews for your guests plan on every other seat, couples can share. If you are offering a more unique style of program, like a fan, typically we would recommend one per guest. That way each guest can actually use the fan. Having your photographer take a photo of your guests using their fans is also a fun photo op! {don't forget to order and set a couple programs aside for yourself to keep!}

What do I put on my program?

Wedding programs are a great place to include personal comments and information about the history of the couple or to explain any specific religious or cultural aspects of the ceremony. Your program can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. It can be a single page or an entire brochure, it’s up to you! The program is a great place to express your personality and have some fun. Programs can include a list of the music that will be played before, during and after the ceremony, and even the lyrics to songs played. It’s a good place to share a poem that has special meaning to the couple, or a favorite quotation or bible verse. A good general guideline to follow is to start with an introduction, then list the ceremony order, the wedding party and their relationship to the couple, and close with a note of thanks.

We offer a Wedding Program Guide on our website that is a downloadable PDF that has wording and suggested items to include, as well as a sample layout.

We offer several styles of programs {tall, folding, fan, 5x7} as well as a custom option, so you are sure to find something that fits your needs and budget if you decide a program is a good fit for your event!
