Creative mementoes
Tuesday, July 22, 2003
Many couples remember their wedding day through photographs, videos and a guest book. The book is placed near the door and guests are encouraged to sign their names and write a little message.But, for the creative couple you can express your individuality with clever ideas that borrow tradition from the guest book.
Here’s a few ideas, courtesy of Easiest Wedding™.
* Ask your friends and family to sign a mat board that you will later frame along with a photograph of yourself and your new husband. As an unconventional form of remembering your guests, the signatures can be mounted in your new home.
* In Asian cultures, wedding guests sign a piece of silk with a permanent marker. This, too, makes an unforgettable decoration to hang in your home.
* Have a special wedding quilt made that can be signed on one side during the reception.
* If you or your husband-to-be are sports enthusiasts, consider having your guests sign a basketball, golf club bag, tennis skirt or shorts, or running wear. Let your imagination run wild.
* Have a special 12-month calendar made for the year of your wedding. Ask each family member and friend to sign on the date of their birthday. This not only is a memento of your wedding, but you’ll remember guests’ birthdays, too.
* A white linen tablecloth and matching napkins can be signed with an indelible marker. On each occasion you set your table, you’ll have your wedding guests dining with you.
