These are a few of my favorite things:

Bouquet charms:

Kayla + Kyle have a sweet little family made up of their dog, Hazel, who attended the ceremony and four cats at home. Since traveling with four cats is a bit difficult, Kayla brought them into the festivities by adding charms to her beautiful bouquet of each cat. Each charm had a picture of the cat at home that then moved with Kayla throughout their whole special day.

Guest Book Jenga

Guest books are a very special way to remember those who attended your big day. A guest book is even more meaningful when it is something you can enjoy for years to come! Kayla and Kyle’s guestbook fit this bill - guestbook jenga! Each guest signed a large wooden jenga piece with their names and wedding date engraved on it. By the end of the evening, the couple had a large jenga game to take home to play and reminisce in the future!

Games galore

Kayla and Kyle really thought through what would make their guests comfortable and happy throughout their entire day. One way that this love for their guests shined through was a game table set up at the reception. If guests did not want to dance, they had the option to select one of 15 board games or lego creations to build.
