Family is important, we all know that. So why not include your family in your big day? First of all, they are cheap labor (funny, but true!). They can also make your wedding that much more meaningful.
For me and Chris it was an obviously choice to weave family into every aspect of our wedding. How better to mark the inception of our own family tree than with the help and support of our existing branches?
Family members are often called on to help address invitations, read passages during the ceremony, set up on the day of, and even officiate. We enlisted help for all of those things, and much more.
Not everyone has a grandmother who just happens to be a professional wedding cake designer, but surely there is hidden talent in your gene pool. Perhaps you have a crafty cousin who can help you assemble custom favors, or maybe your sister has the gift of song. Not only will you look back at your wedding day with those fond memories, but the planning process will be so much more fun!
Below is an homage to those (well most everyone) who were so invaluable at our wedding.
