Uniqueness
Make a new wedding design that is representative of ONLY YOU as a couple. Take an inventory of things you like and who you are. “If you take this couple out of this wedding plan and inserted another couple, it should no longer make sense.”

Craft cocktails
If your religion/culture allow alcoholic beverages, and your budget allows, order custom cocktails for your guests. If your budget is limited, do a little online research and find signature drinks that match your style and color scheme -- most caterers and hotels don't even charge extra for this if you use readily available ingredients. Tequila is the current Number One elixir!

Unique entertainment
You don't need a huge budget for this. Recruit cousins to perform a great dance routine or hire acrobats, drumline dancers, bellydancers,
or a New Orleans-style Second Line escorting your guests from the ceremony to
the reception, hire a gospel choir, or native American dancers, or fire
dancers! Also, magicians, jugglers, fortune
tellers, actors, techno entertainment is BIG from DJs besides just music… ask
them to show you what they got!

of HonorIn 2016, the wedding party is different - more men standing up for their sisters, ladies standing up for their brothers, and even the well-behaved family dog or whatever makes sense for your wedding party members.
