Wedding Guest Book Activities
Traditional conventional brides don’t have to have traditional conventional guest books. Certainly you can purchase an average guest book and ask your guests to sign it, but the’re so a good many more guest book-like activities that are more unique.
Let’s move from the popular to the less recognized. One hot option allows guests to sign an image of the bride and groom. Simply take a photo of the the couple and have it matted in a mat several inches bigger than the photograph itself. Place a frame around this, but don’t include the glass or Plexiglas frame. You’ll contribute this later. Some people prefer to use “bulldog” clips to keep the mat together in place of putting the picture in the frame. The picture may be framed after the wedding ceremony.
Most couples select a nice photo of themselves for this picture/guestbook alternative, although if there’s a formal betrothal photo, this is a superb way to preserve that photo and show it off to friends and family. If photos are taken prior to the wedding with the bride and groom in their wedding attire, you can for certain use this photo. Many couples opt to either leave the mat empty or they place a short lived picture in the mat and add a wedding ceremony picture later.
Be sure to have a nice Sharpie marker handy and place the picture on either a robust easel or on a table where guests are certain to see it.
Another option is rather than providing a picture of the bride and groom to sign, the people staying at the resort are provided with a photo of themselves! Simply given a Instant camera and designate someone the job of taking pictures of the guests as they reach the reception. As soon as the picture is dry, given a Sharpie and they can sign the picture, make a remark to the the happy couple or hand draw a silly picture. It can be whatever your guest wants it to be. This is a unique, and personal, path for guests to “sign in” at the marriage ceremony.
Whoever handles the taking of the pictures should also handle putting them in a photo album of some sort. A scrap booker might provide a special memory book with the Polaroid pictures in it, or the pictures can merely be put in a nice album and presented later to the the couple.
Many guests don’t give a great deal of thought to the guest book. They whiz by the guest book table more concerned with getting their cocktail and hitting the dance floor. If this is a concern, given a “traveling” guest book. Send each guest something either to sign or decorate prior to the wedding.
In this “traveling” guest book scenario, the’re a few options. One of the best is to send each guest a tiny piece of paper and ask them to write something meaningful or thoughtful for the bride and bridegroom on it. The pieces of paper are returned before the marriage ceremony ( to ensure an improved response, provide a self-addressed stamped envelope with the paper) and may be compiled in a few meaningful way for the the happy couple and presented to them on their wedding.
If the guest list is a clever or particularly close group, there’s one other option that is even more meaningful. Again, in a scrapbook fashion, send each guest a piece of paper to sign or decorate. The paper ought to be the size of a photograph album, so it might be a 6 x 6 piece of paper, an 8 x 8 piece of paper, or even 12 x 12, if the people staying at the resort are up to that larger size.
In a letter that comes with the paper, the guests are instructed to establish a memory page for the bride and groom. They might include photos, quotes, little anecdotal stories, or combine all of these with stickers or embellishments. It’s thoughtful, meaningful and personal and it’s a fantastic way to incorporate guests who may not be in a position to attend the wedding ceremony, but would still like to be a piece of it.
