Your family and friends are the people who are there for your greatest moments with.

At the ceremony, set up a live feed for your friends to join (appoint your maid of honour for this). And if you&#8217;re really into the Skype idea, consider setting up a table or section for your M.I.A. friends to chat, interact and enjoy the evening!<\/p>\n<h2>Speech<\/h2>\n<p>For friends and family who are away for whatever reason, it&#8217;s a kind thought to mention them during speeches. Raise a glass to those who are not with you and thank them; where ever they might be, they will be delighted to be remembered!<\/p>\n<h2>Photographs<\/h2>\n<p>A really fun way to consider your friends and family is to set up a pin board with those who aren&#8217;t there. Leave notations of where they are or if they have since passed as well as space for others to leave notes. Another nice idea is to have a table with framed photos of your loved ones. Your guests will love it!<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via Getty<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A wedding day is often about sharing your day with your guests as much as it is about you as a couple.
