Permanent Jewelry Station Work with a local jewelry store to send guests home with brandnew bling that will remind them of your wedding. Precious metal chains are custom-fitted as bracelets or anklets, then welded (painlessly!) together on your body in place of a clasp.
Handwritten Stationery Menus, invitations, place cards and signs all feel extrapersonal when an actual human has written the words. Traditional calligraphy is beautiful if you’re going for a formal theme, but imperfect hand-lettering adds whimsy and feels super welcoming.

THE KNOT
Secret Cocktail Menu Infuse a speakeasy element into your wedding by listing your “secret” signature cocktails on the back of the regular bar menu. Or covertly add them to a private website that guests can only access by scanning QR codes hidden throughout your venue. Watch and wait as the news spreads via word of mouth.
