Since she was little, a girl has dreamed of her wedding day. She thinks about everything, down to the last detail, like what kind of wedding dress she will wear, what colour the bridesmaids' dresses will be, and, most importantly, who the perfect man will be who will marry her. When that day comes, it will be the most important day of the bride's life. She will want to remember it fondly for years to come. One of the best ways for more and more brides to remember their wedding is to make an Instant Photo Guest Book like the one Adesso Albums makes. The best way to remember your wedding day for the rest of your life is to have a keepsake, scrapbook, or photo album that you and your spouse, family, and friends can look through together.
Instant Photo Guest Books combine a photo album and a guest book in a unique way. To make a photo guest book at a wedding, all you have to do is take Polaroid photos, put them in your guest book, and have guests write their own messages to the bride and groom on the pages of the guest book. This will give you pictures and words of your wedding right away, and you won't even have to wait weeks for your wedding photographer to give you back your pictures. Once it's over, you'll be able to enjoy it. But the great thing about these keepsake albums is that they can be used for every part of your wedding: the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception, and even the honeymoon.
Here are five more great ways to remember your wedding:
- Wish Bowl
Here's a suggestion that won't cost you a dime. The goal of a "Wish Bowl" at a wedding is to give guests a chance to send good luck to the Bride and Groom wherever they go. The idea is to have your guests write their hopes for love and life on small pieces of paper and put them in a crystal or fancy glass bowl or vase. If you already have a nice vase or bowl at home, you don't even have to buy one. For a more formal look, the slips of paper can be put into little envelopes that match the rest of the wedding stationery. The stationary paper and envelopes should match the Bride's colour scheme or wedding stationary. After the wedding is over, the notes can be read and put in a wedding album or scrapbook, while the bowl or vase can be used around the house or as a decoration.
- /b> Wish Tree
Like the Wish Bowl, the Wish Tree is a way for wedding guests to write down their best wishes for the Bride and Groom's love and life. However, instead of a bowl, a tree is used to hold the wishes. There are many different kinds of Wish Trees. You can buy one made of metal, make your own out of flowering branches from a garden or florist, or even use a live plant like a fichus tree in a pot. You can hang gift boxes from any tree you want, and your guests can take a box in exchange for a wish. When the wedding is over, you can take the wishes off the tree and put them in a keepsake box, scrapbook, or album.
3. Signature Platter
Signature on a Wedding Instead of a traditional guest book, you could use a platter or plate. The platter can be plain, fancy, or even made to order. It can be ordered online or at a store that sells wedding supplies. Guests just sign the platter with a special ceramic pen during the wedding, and then you fire it in your home oven after the wedding is over. The special platter with your names on it can be used to serve your favourite dishes at future dinner parties as husband and wife, or it can just be kept as a decorative reminder of the special event.
- Signed mat that is framed
The Signature Mat is like the Signature Platter in that it can be used instead of a traditional wedding guest book. A photo of the Bride and Groom, usually a "before" wedding photo like an engagement photo, is put in an acid-free matte and put on an easel or table in the entrance area of the wedding reception. On the mat around the picture, guests write their names and messages to the Bride and Groom. The Signature Mat is then put in a frame for the new home of the newlyweds. Before framing, a wedding picture of the couple can be put in place of the "before wedding" picture.
- A guest book with a typewriter
The Typewriter Guest Book is the latest alternative to a guest book that Martha Stewart has come up with. Find an old, cheap typewriter online, at a flea market, or in a thrift store, but make sure it works, and put it on a table in the wedding reception's entry area. Load the typewriter with long sheets of paper so that guests can type their names and any kind words they want to say to the Bride and Groom. After the wedding, the page can be rolled up with a ribbon or put in a frame with photos from the wedding.
