August 2012 Weddings

Fingerprint tree guest book

Hi ladies! im so happy because today I received my original fingerprint guest book from the artist!! He included our initials on the trunk and two little bride and groom birds Laughing I already bought the inks in green, yellow and tan colors! Are any of you going with this idea as well?

(sorry about the quality of the pic, its from my phone)

    That is beautiful!

    I haven't decided what I want to do for a guest book. I was originally thinking of a calendar, but I don't have the time to execute it the way I want. I really liked mtishawt's post the other day with her DIY guest book which involves a shadow box. I actually have a spare shadow box at home, so it would practically cost me nothing to make it. I'm not entirely sure yet, though. We'll see!
  • Your picture is BEAUTIFUL!  I love the idea of having something to hang in the house after the wedding!!

    We are doing one with the "UP" house - but instead it will be a drawing of our house - the balloons with be the fingerprints. :)

    People will help us float our house away as our dreams begin! Just as Carl did with his and Ellie's house :)

    I cannot wait to see our drawing!!!

    Best of luck with the wedding and your future with your new H!

  • I love that tree! I saw those on etsy and I was going to have my designer friend make me a custom tree. Then I got a free Shutterfly book from David's Bridal so I made that our guest book. THe first page is a letter from us thanking everyone for coming and  celebrating with us.
     We've been together for 9 years and since we didn't take engagment pictures I filled it with photos of us throughout the years and then blank pages for signatures. I love the way it turned out.

  • This is ours! I took a photo of my Jeep (the one that was having all sorts of issues and is the reason I met FI!) and sketched it out and added balloon ribbons - then everyone will fill in the balloons :) Then the plate says our names and has August and 2012 for the tags ;)

  • I LOVE the UP house idea!

    We're doing a guestbook ornament tree.  Each person will sign their name to a silver ball Christmas ornament.  I liked the idea of something we could look at and enjoy for years to come, and decorating the Christmas tree is one of my favorite things.
