Lastly, come up with great ideas to give opportunity for current couples to share and show their love for one another. You can attach these ideas to a charming tree for guest to pick off as they enter or you can come up with just a few concepts and leave at their seating area or have servers bring around throughout the night. For example, you may leave a small notepad and pencil at the seating area with small instructions on writing a quick "love you" message to their partner. Get creative!
