Having a young kid be the Ring Bearer is a great idea. It makes for cute pictures and can totally help lend to the moment. After a some research, some sources say the tradition of a young person carrying the ring evolved from Ancient Egypt, where it was customary for treasured jewels to be carried on fancy pillows during wedding ceremonies.
Others historians claim the tradition came about during medieval times, when Northern Europeans began to present the bride with her wedding ring on the tip of a sword. Personally, we think this sounds a bit terrifying, and we’re glad this aspect of the custom has disappeared.
ALBANY WEDDING DJ IDEA: COSTUME YOUR RING BEARER
Dare to be different. If you have the guts, select a theme for your whole wedding and create a night they will never forget! If you don’t want a theme wedding, maybe just throw a little taste in there for fun.
I have seen a lot of weddings in the Albany NY area and this is one part where you can really lighten the mood. I always tell my DJ clients the best weddings are the ones that stand out. Here is a whole new twist on on ring bearers.

Have you heard of the new smash dance hit “What does The Fox Say?” by Ylvis? Well, if you haven’t yet, the kids last week at Troy Middle School certainly have! Here is a video confirming it, after about 50 kids all asked for the same outlandish tune.
Yes, the above video is just a quick funny shot of some kids at the Troy Middle School dance getting ready to learn “what the fox says” i.e. Ylvis style! If you are still with me and have no idea what I am talking about here is the original video, “What Does The Fox Say?” by Ylvis.
How to tidy up your place card table with a new twist…
Here is a neat way to assign seating at your wedding, without fumbling over dozens and dozens of cards. How about getting your dining hall organized with picture frame place cards?
Rather than putting out a card for each person with their name and table number on it, why not make a decorative table directory display informing every guest who will be seated at one particular table in the hall?
This alternative idea to the traditional wedding guest place card idea will save you and the guest from time and confusion in having to deal with a separate card being displayed and retrieved for every individual person on your guest list.
What this bride & groom did for their wedding at Woolfert’s Roost Country Club in Albany, was play close attention to the quality of the picture frame themselves. Rather than spending big bucks on pricey cardstock and printing charges, these couple went a different route. They printed them up entirely by themselves and displayed their work in super nice picture frames.
Here are some pictures I took at a wedding recently in Albany:
