As the old adage goes “A picture is worth a thousand words.” And we couldn’t agree more – especially when it comes to your wedding-day celebrations. Let your big day speak for itself with one-of-a-kind photo table settings, attendant gifts and thank-you cards. With a little help from Kodak, it’s never been easier (or more affordable!) to create amazing keepsakes with your most treasured snapshots. To get started, simply log on to kodakgallery.com, upload your photos and proceed from there. Here are just a few of our favourite creations:
Table Settings
One of our favourite features on the Kodak site is the ability to create a collage, using as few as four or as many as 100 photos. Once laminated, these collages make fantastic placemats and conversation starters. Consider personalizing the collages according to seating arrangements with unique table settings for your childhood friends, university buddies and family. Your guests will enjoy reliving their memories of you and your new hubby as they savour their meals. Another great item to have at each table is a mini photo book. Encourage your guests to write their thoughts and wishes in the margins.
Attendant Gifts
The mini photo books (previously mentioned) also make wonderful keepsakes for your guests to take home with them. Don’t forget to add your own captions, so you can truly tell the story of your very own fairy-tale romance. Another great gift idea is a personalized photo calendar—send your guests away with a whole year’s worth of good memories! Photo mugs are also fabulous send-offs. For an added touch, fill the mugs with candy or individually wrapped chocolates and wrap them with colourful cellophane topped with satin ribbon. Lastly, for all those extra-special members of your bridal party, opt for a stunning memory box. A photo of your choice is printed on tile atop a hinged wooden box—perfect for storing jewellery and other mementoes.
Thank-you Cards
Some of the most exciting thank-you cards available through Kodak’s site utilize templates by design guru Martha Stewart herself! Choose from several chic, modern designs then personalize the template with your photo and caption (your names and wedding date, for instance). Professionally printed on glossy or matte cardstock paper, these cards are a unique and meaningful option. Also add your photos to adorable mailing labels and stickers for a pulled-together look.
