    Inspired by Tandem Bike Cont.

    • by

    Here are a few ideas I found around the web to inspire the couple who is considering the playful Tandem Bike theme at their wedding.

    Having a tandem bike at your reception is pretty much a requirement if you are going to go with the Tandem Bike theme. Especially for the opportunity to get photos like this one, by my wedding photographer and friends, Hoffer Photography. Another fun idea is to have the tandem bike as a prop in a photo booth at your wedding.

    1. Biking is for Lovers…love it! This shirt would be great for the bride to wear when she’s getting ready before putting on her gown.
    2. A charming necklace that would be lovely during or after the wedding in remembrance of the wedding.

    This tandem bike wire figure is a bit too expensive for favors ($22 each), but would be more appropriate as wedding party gifts, or putting one on each reception table. I’m sure they would be quickly snatched at the end of the night by assertive guests!

    A wonderful tandem bike send-off. The expression on the couple speaks for itself. The tandem bike wedding is sure to be a blast!

    I hope you enjoyed Tandem Bike theme week as much as I did. Now go have a light-hearted, joyful weekend!

    Hand-Painted Reception: Tandem Bike theme

    • by

    I have expanded the Tandem Bike theme into escort cards and table numbers. I am a big fan of the invitation design or theme expanding into the reception and/or ceremony decor. The invitation really sets the tone for the style and “feeling” of the wedding. Sometimes it is the only clue that guests have to help them decide what to wear to the wonderful event.

    The Tandem Bike theme expresses the lively, unique, light-heartedness of the couple and their feelings toward their wedding celebration. This is important. Many couple think they need to have a serious and glamorous wedding (and invitation by extension) because that is what is common, but weddings are first and foremost celebrations. A joyful, playful theme really sets the tone for that feeling amongst the couple and their guests.

    Tomorrow I will have a lot of additional super-fun reception ideas that I found around the web.
