'Guest book' wording help

MrsG2B28.7.12, 19 May, 2012 at 16:54 Posted on Planning 0 8

We are having a slightly different guest book in that we have collected lots of different fabrics to be sown into a patchwork quilt and I am hoping people will leave us a message on a square with a pretty gold fabric pen when I find one!

Now my problem is how do I phrase it? I have brought a photo frame to put a message in next to the fabric but just don't know what to write. I have come up with something but I think it is pretty rubbish so any ideas very very welcome Smiley smile.

Guest Book

Instead of a guest book we are making a quilt.

So....

Please leave us a message,

share some advice,

or write us a wish

for our married life .

    Please use the gold pen

    and take a fabric square

    to leave us a wedding message

    I'm afraid I have no suggestions for the wording, but just wanted to say that I think it's a really lovely idea!

    Love birds I really like that! Much better than anything me or my OH have come up with so far.

    That is the best idea I've ever heard (I'm a fellow quilter so am really excited - and gutted I didn't think of it!) My guest book ended up having only about 6 entries in...☹️

    I like your wording suggestion and also the second one that rhymes.

    Thank you ladies for the positive responses, my MIL doesn't like it as it isn't 'traditional', but then most of our wedding isn't, so it is nice to get some positive feedback Smiley smile.

    tybolt it was one of the first things I thought of as I wanted a guest book that I will be able to keep out and look at as I know I would probably never look at an actual book again!

    This one, pick this one!! I love it.

    I always hoped I'd be able to make a patchwork quilt for my wedding day as a present for the both of us. But unfortunately life got in the way and I just didn't have the time. Oh well, isn't there a "cotton" wedding anniversary?
