{Things I Love Thursday} Pick A Seat Not A Side

I have been to many a wedding growing up. And every single one had a bride’s side and a groom’s side. But in recent years, it seems that the new trend is to really merge the two families into one. It’s a beautiful and inspiring concept that I think should really be embraced because that’s really what a marriage is about: merging together two lives and two families to create one. I love the idea of creating a rustic sign to place in the entryway of your wedding location. You can use boards or a small chalkboard to create the canvas and then use paint or chalk to write out your message. Try putting your own personal touches to it. The trending phrase is ” Today, two families are becoming one. Please pick a seat, not a side.” I absolutely love this, it’s warm, welcoming and encourages your guests to interact and get to know one another because, after all, they’re all family now.

Have you done this before? If so, how did you go about it? Did you use a different phrase?
