6 reasons why typewriter poetry is the perfect addition to your unique wedding

Searching for a unique wedding entertainment option? Something that engages both you and your guests? Typewritten poetry isn’t just for poetry lovers…

On-the-spot typewritten poetry is a service offered by Purple Poetry through Love Out Loud; transforming brief conversations into wholesome keepsake poems. This creatively immortalises your day for everyone involved. 

Here are some reasons why this service is the perfect icing on your wedding cake:

  1. Romantic wedding entertainment 

A poet present during your special day is a romantic wedding entertainment option that actively encapsulates the loving energies of your day and transforms them into gorgeous poetry. Aesthetically pleasing on-the-spot creations allow for a romantic experience for everyone. 

When wedding guests are asked, “what would you like a poem about?” love is predominantly on their minds and often heavily informs the content of their piece. This continues the romance of your day through the ceremony and into your celebrations, sharing the love creatively with everyone.

2.Learn how your love is viewed

During the typewriter poetry process, guests discuss the content of their own poem, and are also asked about the newlyweds. This allows you a sneak peek into your loving relationship from a different perspective. 


Why are they perfect for each other? What are your favourite memories of them? What is some advice you’d like to share with them? These responses are collected and used to create one longer poem at the end of the evening; the newlywed’s poem. This piece is therefore not only written by the poet, but informed by everyone who loves you the most.

3.Encourage reflection and connection

The catalyst for this special service is a friendly conversation that often inspires guests to reflect on themselves. The creative result of this is often something that people have not experienced before, and recipients of poems are then excited to share their piece with other guests. 

Encouraging these types of conversations inspires people to then continue sharing with others at the event. This not only allows for a unique conversation-starter at your wedding, but also an opportunity for enhanced connection.

4.That classic typewriter sound

Imagine that soft click-clacking between your favourite songs and the laughter of your loved ones. That vintage feeling is alluring to guests and often evokes a curious novelty. Everyone has something to say about the typewriter presence, from the folks who remember learning to type on them at school to the kids who are so entranced by this alien device without a screen. 

The click-clacking becomes a beacon of interest for guests, making it the perfectly non-invasive service that attracts and doesn’t chase.

5.Minimum effort (for you) wedding favours

Combine your entertainment with your wedding favours and reduce some organisational hassle. What better way to instantly thank your guests than with something created for them during your celebrations? Replace goodie bags of unwanted miscellaneous gifts with an intentional and bespoke creation! 

Your result is some minimum effort wedding favours (minimum effort on your part!) Wedding favours have never looked so favourable.

6.Surprising entertainment for a wedding

“I’ve never seen anything like this before”, is a key remark towards this service at weddings. Guests are surprised to have such a personal and intimate entertainment experience, making it something they’ll remember forever. 

Creatively capturing your own emotions during your wedding day is a particularly special opportunity, and something that newlyweds really treasure. Wedding entertainment that is equally exciting for guests and the married couple alike is a difficult balance; one that this unique service provides on a deeper level.
