Nicky and I have been throwing around some ideas about a guest book. Well, alternatives to a guest book. (When not working or eating or having anxiety attacks or considering petrol bombing the noisy club up the road - bloody hell it's been mad.)
Because let’s be honest, even with my above average writing skills, I can’t come up with anything better than “Good luck for the future” when writing in these nightmares at weddings.
Most of the time wedding guests are too tanked or too unimaginative to really think of something interesting and unique to write. If something unique even exists!
So is there a point?
Well yes. To starkly contradict myself.
Every couple wants every possible record made of their big day, because it’s over so quickly. Photos, video (more about the sensibility of this in a later post) and well...books.
Here are some unique ideas, we will hopefully decide on one of these before January (holds thumbs):
The very popular wedding tree guest book. Again, the guests make their thumb prints, but in this one as leaves. (As a side horror: some couples leave a note saying "leaf your thumb print". The HORROR!). I love this one particularly because of the cute birdie drawings. Thanks Green Wedding Shoes.
The guest blog. Most original idea. EVER. Love this. Although when I broached it with the Nicky, he conjured up an image of his 75 year old Granny Dot attempting this. Hilarious. Impossible. This idea also came from Green Wedding Shoes.
This probably comes closest to solving the "what to write" disaster. Where do you see us in 25 years? Although that brings up another whole set of problems, I mean you can't be honest and say "Divorced". That would definitely mean immediate ejection from the wedding reception. Teehee. From every housewives favourite jailbird, Martha Stewart.
