Weddingbee boards

I love scrapbooking and in theory I think this is a fabulous idea.  However, I have been to a small retirement party that used this kind of idea... and it didn't work exactly as planned.  Most people have not been looking at DIY blogs on weddings or scrapbooks...so the cool design of variety of unique points of view can be missed...  unless you give lots of ideas... by recruiting family members and the bridal party to be your guinea pigs...  so that the Joe Cool groomsman creates a manly yet fun page and the lovely MOH creates a romantic girly page that both reflect you as a couple...  I actually think that the rehearsal dinner crowd is probably better able to create what you want... because you'll be around to explain.  And they will probably make a lovely full page, but in my experience with the retirement crowd... which actually was a really creative crowd... most guests didn't know what to do even with a verbal explanation and didn't want to fill a page and wrote so that you couldn't add pictures to the pages... so the reality was really more like a sprawling mess of signitures instead of a cool reflection book.  As a scrapper, I think you would be better served to have your guests use smaller note sized paper for a simple signiture, a fun drawing, a blessing, a memory, or anything that would reflect their friendship with you.  You can cut scrapbook paper to the size you like and create some fun designs to display.  The notes and photos can be scrapped together later!  It would be simple to put together...
