At events where there are lots of people from different parts of your life,
like a wedding, it can be a challenge to get people talking. If you want to ensure that
everyone will mingle and have a good time, try to come up with a fun
conversation starter. Below is one example I came up with for a 40th
wedding anniversary.
like a wedding, it can be a challenge to get people talking. If you want to ensure that

conversation starter. Below is one example I came up with for a 40th
wedding anniversary.
This couple got married in the summer of love, 1969. Their son and daughter
wanted to make sure that the 150 plus guests had a good time, and that
they all had something to do and talk about, so I came up with these!
Enclosed in simple acrylic frames were 20 or so double sided cards
that were set between the daisy arrangements down the long family style tables.
They were a snap to design and they sure did the trick.
They included facts about the year they were married, for example:
In the summer of 1969, farmers in Bethel, NY were expecting 20,000 revelers to use their field for a "small" music festival. Around 200,000 showed up to the party that was "Woodstock".
Facts could include the cost of everyday items, sports stats, music, anything
you can think of. And, thanks to Google, you can find them online.
For a wedding, it could be facts about the bride and groom, or tips they received from friends and family for a successful marriage.
Below is another wedding idea to get the conversation rolling:
In lieu of table numbers, the bride named the tables after cities that were significant to the couple. And, in glass frames wrote a small blurb about why it was special to them. Where they met, their first holiday as a couple, where the spend their summers etc..
More fun ideas to come!!
