Guest books

The BFG, 25 April, 2010 at 10:16 Posted on Planning 0 21

Whilst at the St Georges Day Festival at Wrest Park yesterday i came across some feather quill pens and ink so i bought a burgundy and cream one with two pots of black ink which i thought would be great for guests to sign our guest book - one problem we dont have one as we werent going to have one anyone have any suggestions or any of you lovely HIBs have some pics i can look at we wont need a huge one as we are only having 50 guests to the day and 80 - 100 to the evening x

    Cant help with the guest book as we are having a signature board instead. Comes as part of our tog package - we are getting a pre-wedding shoot and pick a photo from that which goes in the middle of the board, and the guests write their messages around it. Like this...

    Then we may get it framed. I think it would be easy enough to make yourself, if you take a trip to Hobbycraft or somthing! I think Confetti sell the boards too.

    What we're doing is putting plain paper/card on each table with a note asking people to write messages on them then pop them in our post box. After the wedding I'll put them in a scrapbook/photo album along with other things from the wedding and the planning. I've seen some big albums and might even put it on our gift list. I'm hoping this way most people will write something!

    I made mine and I've got to say, its a fab thing to look back on. I wasn't sure whether any of the guests would sign it but loads did and I'm so pleased that I got one.
