While your guests will probably be more focused on whats on the menu than what the menu looks like, that doesn’t mean you should let its design slip to the side. Your menu card design is another element to add flair and creativity to your wedding. Extend your wedding theme with a truly unique menu card that makes more of a statement than a boring white piece of paper.

Sunshine, icy drinks, flowers and, did we say sunshine? If you’re a summery soul, an outdoor wedding will be perfect and hosting your wedding in the hot months will be a blast. With so many fun things to incorporate, you can go wild! Here are some sizzling ideas.
Garden games
Let’s be honest, it’s not just the kiddies that love to play in the garden. Adults can have all the fun too. Have some games set up if your venue includes a garden, so folks can get some fresh air between the ceremony and reception. Think crocquet, ring toss, and jumbo Jenga.

Fruity cocktails
If the sun’s out and the temperatures are soaring, there’s nothing nicer than to sip on an ice cold fruity drink. You can have ready made cocktails or even have a station where guests can mix their own.

Live music
Music really does set the vibe and live music creates a relaxed atmosphere. Many local bands are not too expensive, or maybe you have a muso-friend. Of course, you might just want to splurge and hire a professional band, then go for it!

Floral decor
Nothing says ‘summer’ like flowers. Make the most of it by bringing it into the decor. Centre pieces on the tables, bunches behind the chairs and along the pathways will create a paradise look.

Beach theme
If you have an informal wedding, tropical themes are very in. Go for sunglasses, drinks in coconuts and bare feet. Remember the sunscreen!

If the wedding invitation states ‘cocktail attire’ as the dress code, it means you are expected to wear sophisticated clothing that is neither too formal nor too casual.…
You always expect your proposal story to be a great one. For some people, a great proposal story would be simple, quiet and intimate. Other people, however, prefer grand romantic gestures – the type that people never forget.
Going all out for a public proposal is no small task. A lot of planning and co-ordinating is required and there are many moving parts, not to mention all the factors you can’t control.
Check out this list of five outstanding public proposals.
-The Skyscraper
This is a large scale, high tech proposal if we’ve ever seen one. Marzo, the proposer, asked his girlfriend, Lisa, to marry him using the lights of a skyscraper!
It starts with Marzo filming Lisa as they go on an evening walk. Marzo then has Lisa answer a phone call; on the phone call she needs to say her name and say “Hi”. She does this and the phone cuts off.
The next thing she knows, the lights of a nearby skyscraper goes off. The lights then come back on spelling her name on the wall. They go off again, and the next time they flash the words “will you” brightly on the side of the building. The next two repetitions of this show the words “marry” and “me”.
This must have taken some crazy co-ordination skills!
– Written in the Sky
A man proposed to his girlfriend by writing it in the clouds. He hired a professional ‘skywriter’!
From the video, it seems he and his unsuspecting girlfriend were spending a lovely afternoon in Central Park, when suddenly the words appear in the sky. The girlfriend is sure to never forget this proposal.
– Like a movie scene
Matt put together an entire movie trailer to propose to his girlfriend, Ginny.
He enlisted the help of Ginny’s brother, Charlie, to take her to see a movie. They’re in the movie theatre and the trailers start to play. Ginny is a little confused when she hears Matt’s voice coming from the speakers. She is brought to tears by the trailer in which he asks her to marry him.
This one gets extra points for creativity!
– Puppies in the park
This one involves puppies! A man organised to have puppies walk by as he and his girlfriend sat on a bench in Central Park. Each puppy wore a customised vest with a sweet message like “I want u 4 ever”.
At first his girlfriend didn’t catch on, because the dog walkers were strangers. The third and final puppy’s vest read “will you marry me?”
His girlfriend didn’t believe it at first. We can’t blame her since it was April Fool’s Day! But when he got down on one knee, she knew it was real.
– Live Lip-dub
Isaac planned and co-ordinated an entire dance number, involving some of their closest family and friends, to propose to his girlfriend, Amy.
He asked Amy to meet him at his parents’ house. When she arrived, his brother was instructed to seat her in the back of a Honda and give her some headphones.
As she sat in the back of the slowly moving car, she watched a well co-ordinated lip-sync and dance number. The presence of all their loved ones must have made it so much more special!
Considering how difficult it can be to organise, these public proposals blew our minds!
