    I have a special poem for my father, my mother, my sister (moh), my grandmother and my soon-to-be husband.

    I imagine it being something rolled up like a scroll ... and maybe tied with a ribbon? What should I get to write it on?

    Should I have a professional help me with this or should I write it myself?

    What would be most special?

    what type of wedding are you having? some ideas are:

    a destination/beach - maybe in a nice glass bottle with some of the sand from the wedding location?

    black tie affair - silk screened on a hankie

    for the ladies - hand written on an accordian fan along the folds

    Black tie. It's pretty formal. Inside.

    that picture served as an inspiration for what i ultimately ended up with!

    we did personalized notes to each guest as a favor.i used textured paper, rolled and held closed with black satin ribbon and a wax seal. they names were added on a little tag.

    Here's how it looked overall (i used vintage maps as table runners)Hi! I want to give special poems to some people ... what should I put them on? :  wedding 56136.note2

    And here's a guest photo for a better ideaHi! I want to give special poems to some people ... what should I put them on? :  wedding 56135.note4

    (eeeek sorry i tried dragging to resize but doesn't work... )

    In terms of writing, I used a fancy font and printed the header ("Dearest Timothy,") and then I handwrote the rest of it.
    It took a lot of time and effort even just for 40 guests, but it was really worth it!
