Here’s Lookin’ At You – Movie Theme Wedding Ideas
Having a movie themed wedding is a cool option for anyone looking for something a little different, but more so if you and/or your spouse are movie buffs. By having a movie themed wedding, there will be elements of the special day that everyone else will relate to regardless of age or background which is a nice way to make everyone feel connected and your wedding feel more intimate no matter how many guests you have.
Here are some ideas for your move themed wedding:
Don’t Number Your Tables – Name Them After Movies: Place a seating chart at the entrance to the reception hall with each table named after a movie and place a placard with the name of the movie and a quote from that movie that relates to your relationship or history together somehow. When you make your rounds, you can explain quickly to each table the special meaning behind your choice. Some quotes are hilarious or so offbeat that they will make great ice breakers and conversation starters.
Sprinkle Your Speeches With Movie Quotes: This is such a great alternative to the super-sappy and often times boring speeches that we have to endure at weddings! Not sure how to pull this off? Using quotes from total guy movies like The God Father or Caddy Shack when addressing a male in your speech or something out of Love Story or even Thelma and Louise when thanking your Maid of Honor or mother!
Inflict the Idea Above on Your Maid of Honor and Best Man: Tell those standing up for you that in keeping with the theme, they will need to reference movies and quotes in their speeches to you and your new spouse. This makes the dreaded speechwriting seem like a lot less of a chore and with some funny quotes in there they can guarantee some laughs to take the edge off and some tears to satisfy the bride’s likely need for at least some emotion and sap!
Make It A Masquerade Affair: If you have enough time before your big day for your guests to prepare, why not have everyone come dressed as a move character? Think it’s a tad overboard? How about just the Bride and Groom and the wedding party then? Think classic film stars for a slightly more glamorous and vintage feel and try to keep to just one film for consistency. (Gone with the Wind and Casablanca are great ones!)
As long as you refrain from using quotes that may offend or films that are on the racy or inappropriate side; a move themed wedding will make for an unforgettable day that everyone will rave about for years to come!
