(Hint: It’s Not the Monogrammed Napkins)


When you're knee-deep in wedding planning, it’s easy to stress over the tiny details—signature cocktail names, wedding favors, and perfectly curated tablescapes. But here's the truth: most wedding guests won’t remember what font you used on your signage. They’ll remember how they felt.

So what do guests walk away talking about? And how can you make sure your wedding leaves a lasting impression? Let’s break it down:
