10. Personal welcome decoration
Welcome decorations for your wedding are the first thing guests will see when they arrive at your wedding venue. With that in mind, we think it's a great opportunity to make a stylish first impression, and make it extra personal. This immediately gives a good idea of the style & atmosphere to come.
For example, you can choose to use a chalkboard, flower installation or a mirror for this purpose. In it you can incorporate the names & wedding date, which just adds an extra personal touch. Plus, with a mirror your guests can check their hair and makeup at the entrance :)

9. Your own photo banner
What's not to like about hanging a photo banner of you and your partner as extra decoration? You can use a board or a banner, for example, on which you can have your design printed. Put it at the entrance or any other visible place at your wedding venue. This is something you could use for any venue, giving your wedding venue an extra personal touch.

8. Personalised photobooth
A photobooth is something that you can really use to entertain guests throughout the day. You can personalise the photobooth as much as you like, for example by adapting the decor to your theme or creating your own photobooth props. This way, you and your partner will have plenty of fun photos of your guests after your wedding, and it is an activity that will leave your guests with a very pleasant memory.
As an extra, you can also arrange for the photos to be printed out and hung on a large pinboard. This way, you will have a noticeboard full of fun photos of people you really appreciate, which will give a personal touch to your wedding.

7. Your personal painting
A personalised painting at your wedding may well become one of your favourite wedding keepsakes. Not only is it a beautiful heirloom, but having a live artist at your wedding is also a unique form of entertainment for the guests in attendance.
Make sure the painter of your personal wedding painting god be informed about the size of the painting, your colour theme & of course the style you would like the painting to be in. This way you can hang the painting at home & be reminded daily of this beautiful moment.

6. Your own flag
If your wedding location has a flagpole, this gives you the opportunity to literally and figuratively hang out the flag for this special day. Choose a nice photo of the two of you, and have it printed on a flag together with your names and wedding date.
You can hang this flag on the flagpole of your wedding location, to make it your personal wedding location. This is also a very nice memento to keep after your wedding.

4. Personalised menus for dinner
Of course, you want to dine at your wedding with dishes that you love yourself. So why not choose your own menu? Create your own menu together with your partner and put it on the tables in the dining room. Make the menu as personal as you like, with your favourite dishes & in the layout colours that suit the theme of your wedding. This way, all guests will immediately know, in a creative way, what will be served during dinner.

3. Your own candy table
Candy Tables, also known as sweet tables, are a very popular addition to your wedding. Choose your favourite sweets & snacks together, and personalise this candy table with your favourites. Not only are they a delicious addition for your guests, but they are also perfect for decorating and can really stand out if you make them a focal point of your wedding.
Below is a planning guide to determine how many jars of candy will be needed at your wedding, depending on the size of your guest list:
1-50 guests: 5 pots of candy
50-100 guests: 10 pots of candy
100-150 guests: 15 pots of candy
More than 150 guests: 20 pots of candy

2. Personalised thank yous
After your wedding day, you will naturally want to thank all the guests present for celebrating this special day together. It is often difficult to find a gift that people will really enjoy, as you can go in any direction. For example, you can fill thank-you bags or clear containers with your favorite treats, which your guests will take home with them at the end of the day. If you prefer not to give away food, you can also choose to give a bottle of prosecco with your personal label.
If you prefer to give away something that your guests can keep for a longer period of time, you can also choose to give away, for example, personalized playing cards, personalized matchboxes or an anti-hangover package at the end of the evening.

Your own end show
One of the best ways to end your wedding day is a smashing final party with a fireworks show or pyromusical! It is a moment at your wedding that will be talked about for years to come.
If you would like a sparkling end show at your wedding, then a fireworks show is the thing for you! You can personalise this fireworks show by having your letters or your wedding date light up during the show.
Do you really like a party? Then a pyromusical is the perfect ending to your day. Incorporate the theme colours of your wedding into the show, and let your names and wedding date come back in it as well. Are you curious about what is possible for a pyromusical or festival end show at our estate? Then watch the following video: Afternoon end show on Landgoed Huis de Voorst
