diy wedding crossword

There is a lot that I really love about our wedding reception seven years ago, and not a whole lot that I would change. Which I think is really what you want, right? You want to look back and know that the biggest celebration that you will ever have in your life (most likely) is a good reflection of your personality and who you and your spouse are as a couple.
There were a few ways that we tried to bring some personal touches to our wedding day (keep in mind, this was before the days of Pinterest!) and one of those was with a personalized wedding crossword that each guest could do.


There was a stack of them at the front table along with some pencils and guests could fill in the answers during the reception. Since we had a more causal reception, it was a fun way for guests to mingle, and also get to know my husband or myself better since this was the first time that either of us were meeting a lot of them! (Fun fact about Mike and I, in total we dated about 8 months and were engaged for two of those months. I hadn't met most of his family or friends, and he hadn't met a good deal of mine.)


At the time I just made these using Microsoft Word and printing two to a page, pretty simple!

  1. These are so so so so fun!!!
    I had big plans of having a "how well do you know the couple game" on every table but ran out of time!

    Dang Pinterest makes wedding planning so easy these days those lucky brides!

    Totally agree, our day was perfect if anything I just wish I had stressed less and enjoyed more! But I wouldn't change a thing.

    I'll send this to my sister :))
    There's no ring yet but everyone's getting anxious haha
