Getting Engaged?
Make it a special surprise with a custom jigsaw puzzle with a special "Will you Mary Me?" piece.
Here's the idea: Take a great picture of the the two of you and sent it to me for a special Proposal Puzzle, a medium sized puzzle that will take about 15 minutes to solve.
Plan a special evening together and present the unique gift. Without a picture of the completed puzzle it will add some anticipation until the pieces can be spread out and the puzzle solved.
The two of you work together on the puzzle but keep the "surprise" piece hidden until the puzzle is one piece from being solved and a search for the 'missing' piece ensues. During the initial assembly carelessly brush a few pieces to the floor to set up the special search to come a little later.
After an appropriate amount of time searching for the final piece, with one knee still on the floor, the missing piece is found, "Here it is!", with it's special message.

Here's Another Proposal Idea:
Select a classic Norman Rockwell or other favorite marriage theme artwork for the puzzle. You select which puzzle piece on which to inscribe the "Big Question" in your own handwriting.
While the search for the missing piece is taking place, slip the special piece back into the box for it to be discovered by your 'soon to be' fiance.
"Like the piece that was missing from this puzzle that now makes it complete ...."
You can figure out the rest.

The 'Special' piece can be cut with the two rings. Your special question can be written on the back.

Retirement / Graduation
"Signatures" Puzzle
Send me a photo of your honored company employee or proud graduate.
Place the completed puzzle in view for the guests to see when arriving.
Have a helper pass out the pieces to each table and announce that each puzzle piece is to be returned to the head table for one final homework assignment with an inscription for the Guest of Honor to read and assemble.
A larger puzzle size works well for this so each piece is large enough for the personal inscription. The puzzle piece count should be 60% to 85% of the guest count. Some couples will write a note together.

Wedding Reception
"Signatures" Puzzle
Send me a proposal photo of the engaged couple for a wedding reception puzzle. I'll make a large format puzzle. This one is 16"x20" with about 50 pieces.
The estimated guest count was about 80 with some couples signing together. The average piece size was about 2.25"x 2.75", perfect for a short note.
At the reception enlist the flower girls to pass out and collect the puzzle pieces after a heartfelt note is written on each.
Guests, eager to see the completed puzzle, can work on the solution.
