When my cousin decided to get married, she and her fiancée agreed to organize a retro reception party.
They had more reasons to do this: first of all they both liked the vintage style and music a lot, and secondly their friends were both old time lovers. They began the preparations several months before the wedding and they made sure that everything was in the retro style.
They decorated the hall with candles and flowers, they made vintage centerpieces from candles, silk ribbons and blue flowers and they got a band that played swing and jazz music. For wedding favors, gifts for the guests to show their appreciation for coming, they went to antique shops and bought vintage wedding figurines.
Retro figurines are really cute. Wedding figurines usually feature a pair, the bride and the groom dressed in retro outfits, dancing, holding hands or just standing next to each other. My friends bought all kinds of vintage figurines, since it is impossible to buy more of the same piece; these are usually one of a kind and very rare.
The figurine I got was beautiful: the bride and groom looked happy and the dress of the bride was hand painted. I'm actually pretty sure that the whole thing was handmade, in those times mass produced stuff was rare. I saw that some other people got figurines of children dressed as the bride and the groom: it was really adorable.
Vintage wedding figurines as gifts for the guests are really suitable. This way everyone can go home with an individual piece and they can use it as decorations. Most of the people prefer to give favors that can be kept as a memory of their wedding day for a long time. Although some vintage wedding figurines might be expensive, usually you can always find some on affordable prices. You can find the best deals on Ebay.
