For theme weddings, it’s time to hit the library as there is so much to consider when throwing this sort of event. Theme weddings are becoming more popular and have their own guidelines whether seated in a holiday sled in place of the alter with Santa saying the vows or more traditional like an Irish wedding where the gent throws a shoe over the Bride’s head for good luck. There are standards, which is something even I didn’t know when operating a wedding chapel.
Knowing what to expect is good for the guests, especially if they are expected to participate. A wedding program would be desired if it’s a theme like anime characters or a vegas entertainer package with an "Elvis" minister and a "Marilyn Monroe" singer for the lighting of the unity candle so guests know that what they are seeing is supposed to happen.
When going with a theme, ask yourself two questions: Are you following the real customs or simply winging it? And, will any of your guests notice if it’s incorrect and possibly be offended? If you are comfortable with your answers, then you can start planning. If you're uncomfortable or awkward about having a themed wedding and you want some guidelines, there are actually materials written on this subject.
