Day #11 - No Ordinary Guest Book

The day of the "satin" guest book is over!  You already have their full name and address.  You sent them a wedding invitation, right? 

Couples are opting for more fun and unique ways to capture the "signatures" of their wedding guests.  They are having guests sign artwork they can frame in their new home.  Guest are writing love notes and date night ideas and placing them in keepsake boxes.  And they even signing sports memorabilia and blankets.  However you decide to capture names of you wedding guests have it prominently displayed so not to miss a person.  You'll thank me later...because once that guest book is packed up...you will never look at it again.

Until next time...WEDologize!

Sassy Guest Book Alternatives

In February 2011, I did a blog on a couple of guest book alternatives, but plenty of new, fun ideas have appeared since that post.  Take a look at some of these "alternatives" to replace your standard pretty book and pen at the reception.

Provide markers and stamp pads for guests to leave their thumb prints.
Then ask them to decorate their "mark" with their name and smiling faces! #CRAFTY

How fun is it to ask your guest to name your future children?!?!
I can only imagine the names guest's would list, especially after a couple of drinks. #CREATIVE

Have your guests circle words in a dictionary that describe what they felt on your wedding day.
Then shelve it and reflect back on the day every time you use those words. #THOUGHTFUL

Leave these little books on each guest table asking them to come up with some date night ideas.
You'll certainly use some of these ideas as you embark on years 2 and 3! #FUN

Until next time...WEDologize!
