Lasting memories are important especially when it’s your wedding day. What’s happening at the guest book is one of the most creative ways a bride and groom can make those special memories … and today’s brides are being very creative. Here are some great ideas for your Guest Book.
IDEA #1 - Picture Perfect
Find a special picture of the bride and groom, any shot from being casual to very formal. Make this a black and white shot and add a large white around a matte and frame with a black frame. Have all the guests sign the matte. Make sure you have enough pens (all in the same color - black!) and have guests sign in. If you have lots of guests coming, create as many pictures as you think you’ll need for the whole group.
IDEA #2 - Scrapping it Up
Find a special scrapbook that will last and put in several pictures of the bride and groom in different poses … casual, formal, when they were young, with friends, etc. Secure them firmly in a beautiful scrapbook and have guests sign the various pages. They may want to fill the pages that they were most involved with the bride and groom.
Variation:
Find a book with pictures of different brides or some other events or things that are meaningful to the bride and groom. Have guests sign pages from this book.
IDEA #3 - Quilting Bee
Create large material quilt blocks in a favorite color of the bride and groom and have guests use special fabric pens to sign their sentiments on blocks. At the conclusion of a wedding, find a good quilter who can create a quilt to last a lifetime with signatures from your wedding day.
IDEA #4 - Bed Sheet Quilt
A variation on the quilt blocks is to find a bed sheet in your favorite color and have guests sign the sheet with special fabric pens. Have someone handy with quilts create a quilt using the bed sheet as the top part of a quilt.
IDEA #5 - Vase Etcher
Here’s a handy unit … battery operated, too …a glass etcher that can have your guests etch their names on glass. Flowers in a vase have never looked better and you can use the vase every single day as a pleasant reminder.
