wedding

Welcome to ohAmanda! See more of my wedding & birthday party posts.
It’s kinda my hobby to find fun party ideas!

My sister-in-law is getting married in August. So this week we went wedding dress shopping (fun!) and bridesmaid dress shopping (not-so-fun). I’d rather do most of my wedding shopping while browsing the internet. So, in honor of my sister-in-law’s upcoming wedding (and a promise I made in 2009 that I’d write this post) here are

THE TOP TEN MOST CREATIVE & COOL WEDDING GUEST BOOKS EVER

1. Wooden Puzzle Have your guests sign a puzzle piece each, then put it back together, frame it and display. Or keep it un-put-together and let your first child slobber on it!

.

2. Sign a Chair. How great is this? A practical guest book you’ll actually use and see all the time. I wanna do this for something else–what if you had one at your house and let guests sign it when they came over for dinner or to spend the night?

.

3. Postcards. Have guests write postcards and then have someone (your parents) mail them to you during your first year of marriage. This one below is especially fun because everyone got a personalized pen!

.

4. Individual Cards. This isn’t a new idea–let everyone write whatever they want (draw a picture, sign their names, make a wish, favorite scripture) but I love this whole stapled-together-make-a-book thing.

.

I think I love this car and balloons better. The only thing that would be cuter is if it was a house with balloons like Carl & Ellie’s house in UP.

.

But this one? Is so cute I can’t stand it! (Whenever I throw an Art Party for Lydia, I’m going to use this as a guest book!)

.

6. Message in a Bottle. Let everyone write a note on a slip of paper and then seal it in the bottle. Open it on your first wedding anniversary to see what they said!

.

7. A Birthday Calendar. I LOVE THIS ONE. What a sweet thing to keep you connected with your friends and family close to you all year!

.

8. Mad Lib. I changed my mind. THIS ONE is my new favorite. How fun in the world would this be?!

.

9. Typewriter. For book-lovers. And anyone else who misses typewriters.

.

10. The Rolodex Kinda Thing. This is apparently pretty popular for weddings. Individual cards (sometimes with prompts like “You will name your first child…”) and then placed in a box like this. Cute, huh? And easy to replicate on your own.

.

Pretty cool, huh?
