Vintage Travel Themed Wedding

WEDDING THEME

Vintage Travel

I sifted through tons of websites and pictures while creating our prenup inspiration board... and as the name implies, I got inspired!!! :) Ive come up with a few ideas to make the travel theme work without being tacky. Plus, I found some really cool new ideas online! EEEeeeeeekkk.. so excited! :)





Some Ideas To Accentuate the Theme:

1. Prenup shoot - incorporate the travel theme in the prenup shoot. Ive created a prenup inspiration board that hopefully captures our vision.

2. Registration Table - Design the table with some items to add to the theme. We can have travel journals, and globes/maps, trunk luggages, binoculars, old cameras, souvenirs from places we've been, currencies from different parts of the world, postcards... that kinda stuff. Below is a quick inspiration board I put together from pics I gathered from the web...


3. Travel Albums - Ive been wanting to create an album of our travels since 4 years ago!!! Ive been procrastinating ever since and now it seems all too difficult to start with. If I find the time, it would be perfect to display it at the registration table.

4. Table Centerpieces - Each table will not only be given a number, but also a place that we've been to together. Aside from the flowers and/or candles, we can add a picture, a box of pictures and memorabillas, an album... pretty much anything that represents the place. Below are a few samples I grabbed from the web. :)



5. Guest Cards / Wish notes - Initially, I wanted our guest cards to be pictures of the different places we've been. But then now that I think about it... it might be a little too complicated, cluttered and confusing. But, doesnt mean I have to throw the idea completely! I got this idea from a website, we can create "postcards" of the places we've been and have our guests sign them with special notes to us! Then we can have a little mailbox or a vintage trunk where they can drop it when they're done.


6. Escort Cards - Have it revolve around the theme of travel! I've already created a working template of the escort cards -- talk about excited!!!

7. Give Aways - There is much we can do with this! One thought is to have a box of a few printed cards with pictures taken during our travels. We either have a wooden / wook-like case to hold it or wrap it brown paper and twine to give it a vintage look. Our guests can use them to write letters, or notes, that kinda thing... :)

8. Wedding Website - so, Ive started on a website whose main purpose is to compile all the details of our semi-destination wedding for our guests. Things like how to get there, where to stay, what to do... Anyway, my point is... in the site, I was thinking of adding a few albums/pictures of our travels together. I think our trips around the world are a big part of who we are as a couple and it would be nice to have our loved ones have a glimpse of that. :)

9. Save the date / Invitations - Have this travel theme'd as well! We saw this printer that does invitations that look like passports and boarding passes (hmmmm... might be a little too tacky for me though, so Ill have to think about that). But the save the dates can definitely be more casual!


So Im really excited about it!!! I have a lot of photoshopping to do -- better start now!
