Project your photobooth images at your reception
We know how many of you are doing DIY photobooths, and here’s a new twist on the ol’ printed photobooth pictures: project your photobooth shots on the wall at your reception! Granted, you might need the help of your favorite A/V Club nerd to get the set-up working… but I love that guests can see the goofy shit people are doing in the photobooth real-time on the wall of your reception!
Sylvia & Tyson’s relaxed bird-themed registry office wedding
This wedding has amazing details like bird-inspired decor, red and black-clad bridesmaids, and the groom’s dad’s band. But not everything went as expected, in particular the “poo scrotum” favors. You read that right. Sometimes last-minute additions can become hilarious surprises.
How to let people help you with your wedding
One of the first things I ever read on Offbeat Bride was an article about having open expectations. It really resonated with me, and I tried to keep that philosophy through the entire process. It also helped that I was planning a long-distance wedding, so I HAD to let people help me to stay sane… or to avoid massive amounts of credit card debt from flying from Salt Lake City to Wisconsin a gazillion times. Did I have some minor freak-outs? Yes. But the wedding went off swimmingly, and it was better than I could have done myself thanks to the helping hands I had along the way. But here are some tips I learned, and maybe even those of you who are extra detail-obsessed can step back and let someone help you!
