Hopefully, you’ve realized that Valentines Day is this coming Sunday. If not – you’re welcome. :-)
Aside from (or in addition to) dinner, flowers, & chocolates, here are 5 ways to celebrate Cupid’s Day that are slightly more unique. Our friends at TheKnot.com came up with this list for engaged couples, but I think it applies to married couples as well. It’s always a good idea to come up with new traditions and keep the Holidays fresh.

Let’s face it – most wedding details are chosen by the bride. Grooms don’t typically care about what color the linens are, which flowers are in the centerpieces, or the design of the wedding cake. But that doesn’t mean they should be forgotten. A great way to include – or even surprise – your new hubby is to have a Groom’s Cake for him. This cake can be designed to really reflect his personaity… His favorite hobby, sports team, job, etc. At some weddings we’ve been a part of, the bride will have the Groom’s Cake brought out right when they cut the traditional wedding cake as a surprise. Here are some great Groom’s Cake ideas from our friends at The Knot. (And GO BRONCOS!!!)
Your Officiant has pronounced you Husband & Wife, you sealed your marriage with a kiss, and you’ve just been introduced to your friends & family as Mr & Mrs for the first time. LET’S PARTY! Well, almost. You still have to walk back down the aisle arm-in-arm while everyone is cheering you on. So let’s make sure we’ve got the right tune playing. We encourage you to pick a high-energy song that really sets the tone for your reception. Here are 50 upbeat recessional songs that differ from what you may hear in a church.
Here in Colorado, the Money Dance (or Dollar Dance) isn’t as popular as in other parts of the country – or world for that matter. It is probably the dance couples have the strongest opinion towards. Only about 25% of our couples chose to have the dance over the last few years, but it is still important to know it’s origins and why we even have it in the first place. We always tell our couples that if nothing else, the Money Dance is a great opportunity to share a brief moment with your guests (and maybe gain some pocket money for your Honeymoon). Typically, we have the Maid of Honor & Best Man collect the money for the Bride & Groom so nobody has to “pin” it on them.
