A Creative Way for Guests to Wish you Well
There’s a new spin on what is thought to be the most boring and traditional part of the ceremony: The Guestbook. You’ll love the adoring comments, and guests will enjoy the freedom to express all the joy they wish for your new marriage with these new and inventive ideas!
Have a framed canvas that guests can sign. You can hang this in your home and remember everyday about your special wedding and how loved you both are!
Have the person overseeing the guestbook take a quick snapshot of each guest, and write a little something on the back. They can place the photos in a decorated folder or anything of your choice. You will have a photo of everyone in attendance which will be great to look back on in later years.
Include a blank construction paper page in with your wedding invitation, along with instructions for the guests to decorate and personalize the page as they please. Some ideas are poems, old photos of you and your husband-to-be, quotes, or song lyrics. The guests can bring the finished page along to the wedding and paste it in a traditional guestbook. Guests can be as creative as they like, and this will also avoid the hurried, cliché writings the day of.
Provide a cup of clothespins next to some cardstock. Guests can jot down a blessing and hang it up on a clothes line in the reception room. The cards can be easily viewed by everyone and also make a cute decoration for the venue.
How about having the guests sign a possession that is really special to the both of you?
Here are a few more ideas that might catch your fancy!
