Honoring loved ones

Mallory, on September 29, 2024 at 10:42 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 1 1
Between my fiance and I we have a fairly long list of family members we’ve lost. I have none of my grandparents out of 4, he only has 1 living out of 4, and that’s only the grandparents.
Anyway, a few years ago my step dad passed away. I’m a super emotional person and I really want to acknowledge my step dad in some way. This is going to sound harsh, and not that I don’t love and miss my other family members that passed away, but my step dad is the loss I feel the most.

I don’t want a memorial table that is out of control with all of our losses, and I don’t want to just single out my step dad where it looks like I don’t care about the others but it’s important to me to have his absence acknowledged that day. Any suggestions??
Also, my original thought was these little chairs but after counting everyone we’d seriously need like 15 and I feel like that’s a bit much, but I do like the layout of how this person did it Honoring loved ones 1

    We ended up putting a nice floral arrangement and a sign honoring our missing loved ones as a whole, not naming or numbering them. If you want to specially honor your stepfather, did he have a favorite song you can use in the ceremony or reception? Some other personal favorite you can find a way to work into the decorations? If you want a private memorial, not a public one, maybe add a locket with his picture or an item of his to your bouquet. I pinned one of my late MIL’s brooches to my bouquet to make her part of the day.
