September 2012 Weddings

Help me with wording...

So our guestbook will be a journal that we lay out with pens and maybe some markers and/or colored pencils. We really want everyone to be creative (if they want to!) and leave pictures or quotes, poems, sayings, etc. We'll read everything on the way to our HM. I want to set up a picture frame with something explaining "you don't just have to sign your name robotically". But I can't think of anything. Ideas?

Re: Help me with wording...

  • Found this one while googling:

    We thought this book would make a great souvenir
    So if you have a wedding message, please write it in here
    Some words of wisdom, encouragement, or joke
    A poem, a drawing, an anecdote
    We'll look through it fondly in years to come
    So thanks for making this book a special one!

  • Oh, I like this one too:

    A precious collection of memories, 
    this guest book is meant to be.
    Take your time and collect your thoughts, 
    then write them down for posterity.
    You might choose words of wisdom, 
    encouragement or a joke.
    Possibly a poem, a funny drawing 
    or a wedding anecdote.
    Whatever your means of expression, 
    our gratitude we cannot measure.
    This guest book will be, no doubt, 
    an heirloom we will treasure

    Thanks abcollins!!!
  • Those are very cute.  What you may want to do is the night before see if you can get your immediate family or BMs or someone to get it started with something big (drawing, joke, etc).  I like the wording a lot but people who aren't creative may be hesitant to do something out of the box if they are the first.  Plus, those key people probably will be busy with pictures and helping you out so you can make sure you get them in the guest book and they can set the tone for other guests!
  • Im doing something similar too! this is what Im using:

    As we begin our journey
    A brand new Mr. & Mrs.
    We could surely use your advice and good wishes

    Jot down a memory,
    Or a reminder of the day
    Draw a doodle or a picture
    If you are not sure what to say

    Share with us your wisdom
    About marriage, love, and life
    The secret to being a good husband
    Or a thoughtful loving wife
