Have you ever been to an event that had a special touch that just stuck with you? Whether it was a really unique signature cocktail, a beautiful slideshow, or a fun napkin, the small items of personalization really make a difference.
While these items are fun, they’re also extras. Consider them in your budget once the major items are accounted for, and add something extra to your event or wedding day!
Add your images and logos
Whether company photos for a corporate event or cute baby photos of the bride and groom at your wedding, adding photos adds instant personalization.
You can project photos on the wall, scatter them across tables, or even include them on top of cakes and desserts.
For a corporate event, adding your logo in fun ways is always a top tip. Some ideas include: a wall projection, an ice sculpture of your logo, a fruit carving of your logo, or customized cookies with your logo, which also make a fantastic favor to take home!
Signature colors
Choose your signature colors and use them throughout the event! This creates a cohesive, coordinated experience that’s more immersive.
Much like the tip above, if you’re incorporating your logo, perhaps choose those colors as your event colors as well.
For a regular event or wedding, choose the colors you like best. Remember that your photos will heavily feature these colors as well, so make sure they’re timeless and not overly trendy.
Signature cocktails
Everyone loves the creativity of a signature cocktail! From the name to your favorite ingredient(s), it’s a great way to show guests more of your personality.
Choose a name that’s a play on words of your name or location, incorporate your pet’s name, or simply choose a name that includes your unique cocktail ingredients.
Add what you love
Your guests want to get to know you! Especially in the case of a regular event or wedding, people love to connect to the personalized details.
Pets
Incorporate your pets into your personal touches. Some great ideas include: drink stirrers, cocktail napkins with their name or photo, signature cocktails that use their name or photo on the cups, and a separate cake that’s shaped like your pet.
Hobbies
Another way to show some personality is through your hobbies! Is your guest of honor a book lover? Stacked books with florals on top make a beautiful, inexpensive centerpiece. Are you and your fiance both avid sports fans? Themed table names can reflect your favorite team names.
It can also be as simple as your favorite food or flower! Give away your favorite donuts as favors, or choose a succulent potted plant if that’s one of your favorites.
Your story
You can tell a heartfelt story in many ways, whether using some of the ideas above to show what you love, or directly. For example, you could include a favor of a cookie or brownie, which could be a treasured family recipe. Tell the story about how this recipe came to be, and why you chose it for this occasion.
Use media
Not only does using media bring some more life into your event, it can also be an activity! Hiring a photobooth with personalized photo strips or props, having a floor projection with your name or photo(s), playing a slideshow video during the event, or simply showing a photo slideshow are all ways to use media as a personalized touch.
Overall, have fun with your personalized items! These ideas are meant to inspire, so choose a few that work for your event and add your creative touch. They’ll leave a lasting impression on your guests!
