Personalize Your Party

Photo Timeline

Create a photo timeline to help decorate the party. Not only does it

look great, but it also gives your guests a glimpse into little moments

of your life they might not have known you for.

To Make

1. Find twenty to forty or your favorite pictures of you two as a couple as well as you and your spouse growing up.

2. Take them to your local Kinkos or scan them into a photo program like Snapfish and order 8 x 10 prints.

3. Using a thick ribbon and clear packing tape, tape the 8 x 10

pictures onto the ribbon, evenly spaced apart at 3 to four feet. You

can either hang them vertically along the ribbon or horizontally,

depending on the space you wish to decorate.

Video Blog (or vlog)

Ask guests to come to the party with a great story to tell about the couple.

Hire a videographer or video booth and ask guests to make a one to three minute video blog for the couple.

When you send thank-you cards after the party, upload the video to a

site like YouTube and add the web address for the video in the thank

you card so guests can enjoy it.

Picture Favors

Thanks to digital photography, you can hire a photographer that will

take pictures of guests as they enter the party. By the end of the

night they will be able to print the photos and put them in a frame for

guests to take home as the ultimate personalized favor.

For more options, try going to Moo.com where you can make minicards, stickers, postcards and more.

Better yet, through Tabblo.com

(an HP-powered site), you can upload several pictures and make a photo

cube that you can print out and fold together yourself, for free! 

Moo.com works with Facebook photos, and both services work with Flickr

also. So if you want to use your pre-uploaded photos of you as a couple

on these fabulous photo gifts, go right ahead!
