Creative Ideas To Design Your Wedding Guest-book
In time immemorial, tradition required that wedding guests sign their name in a specially reserved book once they arrived at the wedding venue
. And since blank pages are highly tempting to human spirit of creativity, wedding guests started adding more than just names to the guest-book notes for the bride and the groom. In no time, the guest-book became transformed from just a list of wedding guests to a recording of their best wishes for the bridal couple.
Motivated by this trend, couples started adding instructions into their guest-book's that requested guests to write more than just names.
It's easy to see how wedding have now become conducive environment for creativity. Guest-book's are now considered family heirloom passed from generation to generation. In many modern weddings, the book is passed around at the reception so that guests do not feel compelled to write a message, this offers guests an opportunity to condense their thoughts before writing then down for future generations. New opportunities for creativity means that guest books are no-longer relegated to the front of the wedding reception hall.
There select wedding where the bridal couple provide high quality scrapbooks complete with crayons, calligraphy pens, colored pencils, and marking pens and many other artistic tools. Guests are then requested to use the blank pages to embellish their thoughts for the bride and groom. It's not uncommon to find guests writing poems, personal anecdotes and even drawing pictures. Irrespective of the means of expression, the resulting scrapbook is finally a valued collection of memories.
Guest-book's can be created in a number of ways, the bridal couple could take a photo of themselves, enlarge it and then mat it, an engagement photo serves this purpose well enough. Guests are then asked to sign the mat; this is framed after the wedding at the couple's home and serves as a treasured reminder of the special people the couples shared their special day with.
Another unique concept of a guest book requires that the best man snap the bridal couple, separately as they arrive at the reception using a Polaroid camera. Each is free to pose any style they want. The photos are then taped to a page and the guests are requested to write down their thoughts based on the photo.
This idea requires that the guest book be developed in poster form. The couple the print a love poem or any other quotation of significance to them, finally guests are asked to sign around the edges of the poster, then poster is then framed after the wedding and hung at the couples home.
Another unique and very recent idea is the use of ceramics to create a guest book, this serves well couples who are creative in nature and want to combine their handiwork and their guest's signatures. What's required is that the bride and groom design a large decorated ceramic plate. Paint pens are then provided to the guests at the reception to sign the unfinished plate; the plate is then returned to the studio and fired after the wedding. This makes for a unique wedding memento.
