[Originally at 20 Ways to Throw the Best Wedding Ever by Gabriella Rello]
Ultimately, your wedding day is about celebrating the love between you and the person you’re about to marry. But there’s another goal at hand: Throwing one seriously epic party that your guests will talk about for years to come. But how do you make your big day stand out among the throngs of weddings your family and friends have attended in the past?
Ahead, 20 sure-fire tips that will leave your guests impressed. Including even just a handful of these standout ideas will turn your wedding day into an event to remember.
Keep Your Ceremony Brief
Don’t get us wrong, your friends and family are there to see you get married — but no one wants to watch a drawn-out ceremony. Keep the actual proceedings (not including entrances and exits) around 20 minutes so you won’t lose anyone’s attention.
2. Choose a Personalized Program
While we’re on the topic of the ceremony, don’t forget about creating a wedding program. By personalizing this piece of stationery with interesting details about you and your partner, a breakdown of the ceremony’s proceedings, and any important information they should know (like a translation of traditional vows or a note to let guests know not to take photos), you’ll capture their attention and get all of those key details across. Plus, it will keep them busy if the event runs a little late.
3. Use a Wedding App or Hashtag
There are many great wedding apps to choose from. Some interactive ones allow guests to upload wedding photos to one curated place, while others keep your friends and family up to date on any wedding-related news. Want something even easier? Create a clever hashtag and ask guests to tag all of their photos using it.

There’s so much that goes into planning and carrying out weddings it’s crazy. And it’s so easy for it all just to go by in a blur. One of the most common things I hear from couples it that “it went by so fast.” Sooo with that in mind, it’s typically helpful to go into your reception with a game plan. Or even just a small list of “to do’s.” This is an example of a very helpful to do list (many actually aren’t super practical in reality).
