Best Wishes
More than one bride has told me that they think traditional guest books are boring. And I’ve seen everything from photo mattes to platters guests can sign. If you’re looking for more than just your loved ones’ John Hancocks preserved forever, try the “wishing well” trend, where guests can write little notes with their best wishes for you and your guy and then pop them into a pretty jar, hang them as ornaments on a tree (they should be prettily shaped) or even use nice push pins to hang them on a silk-covered corkboard.
Another idea is the wishing well created by Zinke Design, which recently showed up on my desk. It’s a nice, fabric-covered memory box with a place to put a photo of you and your fiancé on the cover. Inside is a pen and note cards for guests’ messages. You could even give family and friends inspiration for their well wishes. For example, place a sign nearby that says, “What’s your favorite memory of Nancy or Ken—or both? Please write it here for the bride and groom to read together and to reminisce for years to come.”
