How about personalized pencils as wedding favors? You could even use chalkboards with letter grades (i.e: A+) as table designators.

What about mini-bells that say “Ring for a Kiss” on the guest tables?

Or, use one of the Twin Oaks House antique school desks for your sign-in table. Ink wells and Quill pens are a great accessory.

You could even have a heart with an arrow through it with your initials on your programs, cake, etc.

Ask children to help out at the sign-in table, act as greeters, or hand-out favors.

Incorporate fresh apples to your flower arrangements, or even use mini apples as favors.

What about a C.D. of “Old School” music as a give away to your guests and play the music selections throughout your reception like: “Old School” by Steeley Dan, “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen, “Gonna be Friends” by Jack Johnson, or “Schools Out” by Alice Cooper.

The Twin Oaks House naturally draws educators inspired by the vision of their ceremony on the veranda with the schoolhouse as their backdrop. Immaculately restored blackboards throughout the schoolhouse, antique piano, classroom clock, old graduation photos from the 1800’s, vintage school desks and lots of other amazing 1800’s adornments.

At the moment they’re pronounced “Husband and Wife” the bell rings high in the tower.

These are just some of the many stylish and artistic event creations brought to you by the outstanding design and event producers at the Twin Oaks House.
