Memorial ideas

I made a sign that was with the guest book and was part of the speech to remember husbands parents' along with everyone in the family that was sitting to know that they were remembered.

In the speech, I did say I also thank those in the stars above watching us on this day along with husbands parents. You can put your moms name or the individuals names that you want to have remembered for your wedding.

We are having them on their own cocktail type table and in frames with a little something said

I plan on having their pictures on the guest book/ card table with some forget me not flowers I may even have a locket of them on my bouquet as well.

We have 8 family members that we are doing for memorials at the wedding, I have bought tiny frames from Michaels that we have filled with small pictures of each family member and then the frames will be hanging off my bouquet.

After the ceremony/photos I plan to have my bouquet on display in the reception with all of the photographs with a small note beside!

I'm so sorry for your loss

For my own wedding, I'm sorta debating between two ideas here:

1) a small bouquet of flowers left on the first seat (either side). The officiant would mention the meaning of the bouquet and ask for a moment of silence.

2) have a candle lit on the gift table, with a note saying that the candle is in honour of our family members that are not with us today.

View quoted message That table idea i never heard about. It sounds so sweet.

We are having a remembrance table for our receiving line with pictures of our loved ones who are no longer with us.

I have also heard of people reserving seats at the ceremony and reception for parents, grandparents or siblings who have passed. I think this is a very sweet idea!
