How to Highlight Grandparents in Your Wedding Photos

Needless to say, you owe your existence to your grandparents. Your grandparents took care of the most important people in your life – your parents, who in turn raised you. Thus, the parents of your parents always have a special place in any family occasion.

Your grandparents have long yearned for the day when you will finally get married. There is no bigger joy for grandparents than to watch their beloved grandchildren get hitched. We recommend you honor your grandparents by highlighting them in your wedding photos.

Generational Photos

One awesome idea would be to have a ‘generational’ family photo. You and your wife could have your parents and grandparents in one grand photo. You can seat your grandparents in front and stand behind them between your parents. This will make for a heartwarming photo you can cherish forever.

Special Role

If your grandparents are happy to go along with it, why not give them a special role? Your grandfather can be the ring bearer, while grandma can act as the flower lady. They can do this even if they are in wheelchairs. In this case, someone should assist in moving the wheelchair.

You can also give them the honor of the wedding toast.

Special Grandparent Dance

To make your grandparents feel extra special (and young again!) why not invite them to a special dance in front of friends and family? Perhaps you and your spouse can join in. But for an extra special grandparent dance, you will have to make this exclusive. You can invite other guests to dance later on.

By calling your grandparents first to hit the dance floor, you can give them the honor and special place that they deserve on this blessed occasion. After all, this occasion would not be possible without their sacrifice, hard work and love. It is only fitting that they should kick off the dance party with a special dance of their own.

Besides dancing with your life partner, you can also dance with your grandparents to give them more love and attention.

Be sure to take lots of photos featuring your grandparents as the party goes on.
