For a destination wedding, you can even add the itinerary and details of the functions. Super cute, right?!

It could be a photo backdrop or just an adorable decor element at your sangeet venue. A chalkboard with your love story beautifully hand painted all over it. You could even break it down into a timeline with the most special dates and instances of your relationship. We love it. What about you?

A picture speaks a thousand words. Let a photowalk lead your guests to the main stage. Line both sides of the walkway with your pictures with little captions to describe those moments. It could start from your childhood to when you started dating, the proposal, the special occasions and end with your latest pictures together.
9. Say it with a dance performance!
