Top tips from: Scelta di Classe, Mose&, Rebecca Marie Weddings and Ella Events.
Welcome drink: usually 3/5 euro/pp but highly appreciated by guests, especially during summer.
Fans on ceremony chairs: necessary if you’re celebrating your ceremony outdoors or in summer.
Agendas: delivered to guests’ rooms before the wedding. People sometimes feel lost without indications of timing and place, so simple agendas are a solution.
4. Personalised notes for each guest to read as they sit down for dinner, a low-cost option but so impactful and will leave a lasting memory.
5. Personalised readings or poems, written by friends of family during the ceremony or speeches.
6. Playlists: if you're tight on budget for entertainment throughout your day, invest time in building a playlist with all your favourite music. You can ask for input from guests and build different playlist for each moments throughout your day. A totally free solution to great music all day long.
7. Bathroom essentials (including mosquito spray)
8. Pre-ceremony water and shade
9. A tour of the historic villa in which you’re hosting your wedding. The magic and story of historic places certainly leaves everyone speechless
10. Being involved in the food preparation. Making your own personalised bruschetta, topping the pizza you will eat
