    So I just read an article in which the couple had "wedding Mad Libs" at their wedding and put them together to create a Wedding Guest Book (instead of the traditional guest book idea).  I was already going to have a table set up w/ markers, scrapbooking paper and stickers, so that our guests can create their own well wishes/pages to create a scrapbook after the wedding.  However, when I came across the Mad Lib idea I was in LOVE!

    My request:  does anyone have any templates of these?  I Googled some and didn't really find anything I liked....

    Why not create your own?  Write down a short story of how you and FH met or what you did on your first date - then omit some verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs!  Our first date was at a zoo...  I'm thinking in my head how funny a mad lib would be about a trip to a zoo!

    I guess I can create my own - I was trying to take the easy way out and bite off of someone else (my brain is friend after spending 12 hours over two days doing wedding DIYs/invites!)

    @Daisylynn - I wish I could see the link but the stupid computer @ work blocks certain blogs!!  I'll wait until I get home!  Thanks!

    @MrsJKH2be: Here is the wording:

    As many of you know, my name is YOUR NAME, and I am the RELATIONSHIP TO THE BRIDE/ GROOM.  I have known NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM  for # years, and I have never seen HIM/ HER happier than HE/ SHE is today.  Except for maybe this one time.  NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM and I were in PLACE, and we went ACTIVITY.  I was feeling ADJECTIVE, and NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM was doing everything HIS/ HER power to VERB.  I will never forget what NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM told me: “ _____.”  That’s typical NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM: Always ADJECTIVE.  Another time HE/ SHE came close to being as happy as HE/ SHE is today was the day HE/ SHE met SPOUSE’S NAME.  The met at PLACE, and for their first date they ACTIVITY, NAME OF BRIDE/ GROOM called me afterwards to tell me how ADJECTIVE is was.  This new person was ADJECTIVE, ADJECTIVE, and ADJECTIVE.  I could just tell something was different.  There’s a quote I’ve always held dear, and I feel it is appropriate today: “______.” NAME OF BRIDE and NAME OF GROOM have found great joy in each other, and we’re all fortunate to be sharing it with them today.  May their happiness last forever.

    What a cute idea! Also, in the picture that Daisylynn posted... above the madlib, I didn't realize at first that the column on the right is a "what not to do" list. I was a little taken aback at advice such as "try to be funny when you're not" and "rely on canned wedding toasts you buy off the Internet," haha.

    I have gotten lots of emails over these- I hope everyone who I sent them to had fun using them! I put all the Mad Libs in a scrapbook with cards last weekend, they're so fun to read :)

    I have a question! How are you guys making these with out the guests seeing the story? I really want to do this but dont want my guest to see the story until later on during the reception. What are your thoughts?

     

    TIA

    @tperks: I think I'll do a doublesided paper with a few different activites. I'll clearly indicate to DO THIS SIDE FIRST or I'll try and have a separate card saying to list adjective, noun, verb, etc... and have them do that first then just fill it in to the story!

    I'm open for better suggestions though! Lol

    My fiance and I going to go the Mad Libs route.  We are rolling up each sheet with a customized pencil and a ribbon tied around them at each place setting.  Any recommendations on where people should put them when they're completed?  I had thought about in a box, but I didn't know if they would get confused with the wedding card box...any thoughts?  Thanks!

    LOVE this idea! I think we will be doing the same kind of thing--I think we will have a wishing tree and there will be a few different cards for people to choose from to fill out, mad libs, wishes/advice

    bumping sopapilleah's question! what do you have them do with them once done? maybe have a book at the front with envelopes glued to the pages? then they put the cards in the envelopes? or... one of those ribbon bulletin boards? o_O

    @HnyBee:  I was a guest at a wedding a couple weekends ago that had one!  It was so fun to fill out mine before dinner and then my FI's after dinner and before the dancing got started!

    @tperks: I am doing madlibs.  I glued the question side to the front of an envelope.  Then I slipped the fill-in-the-blank part (the side you don't want your guests to see first) inside the envelope.  It says "do this side first" on the outside of the envelope.
