Many will cancel engagements, will have to travel from far away or will have to "tighten their belts" to be able to attend their wedding and they do not do it out of commitment, but because they want to be part of that special day. It is not enough to see the wedding dress through social networks because the idea is that when they make the toast with their wedding glasses, to be able to accompany them in the "health". It is to be there.for "that" hug after the exchange of wedding rings and dancing until the candles don't burn.

Therefore, among all the things you should think about, organize and make concrete, don't forget to include some detail to thank your relatives and friends for being witnesses of this important step. And since giving thanks doesn't have to be synonymous with giving a gift, here are some ideas to pamper your guests in a very special way.

1. Include them in the discourse

Another option to thank your family and friends is by taking care of every detail of the celebration and incorporating a personalized label per table That is, assigning a particular name, for example, to the group of co-workers, signaling it with a photo in which they all appear together or a phrase that identifies them. Yes, it will take more time and dedication, but the effort will certainly be worth it. And for the table of cousins and uncles, for example, rescuing an old photo will always be a good alternative.

3. Thank you notes

Along the same lines of the previous point, you can leave a note on the plate or on the seat, so that when each guest is seated, they will find this detail. The ideal is to customize the text as much as possible and they must include the name of each person, hopefully in their own handwriting.

4. Photo corner

You can set up a space on a table or hang them with clothespins on a string. The idea is that you collect images of different moments with your guests and display them during the marriage as a way of saying thank you. Another idea is to provide them with an instant camera, so that each person can put theirs in the minute. The important thing is to give them the space so that they too can feel like the protagonists.
