Memorial for father and other passed family

I am wanting to do something in memory of my dad, our grandparents and 2 of my uncles that have all passed. I don’t want anything too flashy or obvious like a table with pictures because my father’s passing is still too fresh and I don’t want to cause anyone undue sadness. I need ideas. I was thinking a moment of silence during the ceremony but don’t know.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's recent passing - no matter how long ago it was it hurts when it comes time for a wedding.

    I like the idea of how Casey mentioned a candle to be lit for them? And perhaps you could have an empty seat reserved for those who are in heaven (unless that would make you feel to emotional seeing it when you walk down the aisle)?

    Perhaps dedicate a slow dance to your Dad and dance with your Mom?

    You can do a memorial candle? I have seen some where you can get pictures printed right on the candle, or Yankee candle does some where you can print a picture or quote right on the glass.

    I was at a wedding last weekend - the bride’s father passed many years ago. But at the end, a song was played and everyone joined in a circle. 3 minutes and it was fine in my opinion. I’m not sure if that’s something you will be open to. They played see you again

    I like the idea of a low key memorial and how to keep it happy yet not as sad. Your idea of the 1 minute silence is a great suggestion for everyone to respect what your wanting to do. Another suggestion that could work if your having a guest book of any kind is putting a note that will just be simple and a nice way to just let everyone know family is with you spiritually. This is what I had created and put with the book:

    I am sorry to hear of your recent loss.

    What about an extra seat at the back of the ceremony space with a tea light or other candle and a simple sign "In honour/memory of those who cannot be here" or something like that?
