Wording for signing guest jug

Hi all,
 We are having an actual guest book but also having a ceramic jug as another guest book at the wedding. My fiance really wanted one and I think it is kind of cool but I can't figure out good wording to use to sign the jug. I feel like people won't understand unless there is an obvious sign. Any suggestions are welcome!!

    We made a sign so people would know to sign our river rocks. Ours said: "Please sign our wishing stones. These stones will be placed in a vase and kept in our house for us to enjoy. Please be a part of our home by sharing your thoughts and well wishes."

    I would skip the traditional guest book completely. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • You definitely don't need both.  For what it's worth, I've looked at my guest book once since we got married almost 2 years ago.
  • We already bought the actual book. We want both. The book is getting signed at the ceremony and the jug at the reception. We are having alot of guests and thought it would be fun. Just can't get the wording.
  • Ive been to 20+ weddings and have never seen a guest book at both the ceremony and reception.  I think this is a little much.  If you insist, you don't need anything cutesy.  Just put a sign that says "Please sign the jug for the bride and groom."
  • Thanks. I will probably just do that. And I have been to some that had both. The one at the reception was a wooden slab, the tree and do fingerprints and one that was scrabble type blocks. It is ok to go against tradition ya know.
  • I'd just do the jug, I think a book at the ceremony and jug at the reception is overkill personally.  For the sign, just put something up asking them to sign it.

  • As a guest I wouldn't want to sign two different things. It just seems pointless. I agree you should try to return the guest book and just go with the jug.
  • If I attended this wedding I would sign the book at the ceremony.  Then by the time I got to the reception, I wouldn't bother signing the jug because I already signed the book KWIM??
  • but to answer your question, "Sign our big jugs o' fun"

    Hi,

    I agree with other ladies that 2 guestbooks is too much. Too repetitive. Last week my friend told me that she found an awesome guestbook app for iPad, it's called "Our Guestbook".
    It's a free download and you can have your guest leave a video, audio, and signatures. I think it's more useful than good old guest book where it would just stay in your cabinet or closets. With your iPad, you can keep it while you can also still use your iPad and you can see their memorable videos at your special day.
    I totally fell in love with this "guestbook" and definitely gonna use it for my wedding in a few months. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" />
  • Thank you for actually answering the question instead of just completely ignoring it saying your own suggestions of what to do at the wedding. We like what we like and have seen some fund ways of having TWO guests book and with as many guests as we have it may be for the best. I appreciate it and love the 'jug o' fun"!!!
