It's my opinion that symbols like XOXO will never disappear as long as we have that emotion. What is XOXO to us now? It's an expression of love. With its sentiment of physical affection and roots in marital love, XOXO makes a sweet motif to incorporate into a wedding.
I can't think of a more appropriate place than a wedding, where the room is filled with unconditional love and support, to share the XOXOs," says Jenny Orsini, owner and creative director of Jenny Orsini Events.
And there are many ways of doing so. Send a love letter to your guests by engraving or stamping invitations with an XOXO graphic design. A professional designer can make sure the XOXO logo is perfect for your style and can help you create a cohesive look throughout the event. By sending Xs and Os in your invite, you're setting the tone for a warm, welcoming event full of love. Once you have an XOXO symbol, you can carry it into other pieces of wedding stationery, such as the menu, table cards and escort cards.
Xs and Os work great at the cocktail hour, which can have an intimate and social feel, says Sarah Chancey, founder and creative lead of wedding planning and design company Chancey Charm. Cocktail napkins can also be emblazoned with XOXO. Set up a table where guests can find their table numbers on cards shaped like an X or O. A wedding cake is the piece de resistance of the wedding reception—and an ideal place to incorporate XOXO. For an elegant look, crown your dessert with a shiny, metallic XOXO cake topper.
If you want a more modern spin, have your designer create an XOXO pattern in fondant icing and cover the cake with it, Orsini says. XOXO can be used throughout the reception. Look for metal tabletop Xs and Os to accent your sweetheart table or the bar. Just know that you don't need an X and an O everywhere for guests to notice them.
X and O balloons and handheld XOXO props make for cute photo ops for your bridal party or for guests. Creating that cohesive feeling gives your wedding its own unique brand, and guests really do notice that attention to detail.
