Weddingbee boards

We took pieces of card stock and folded them in half. On the front was a starter question like "I first met the bride and/or groom..." and then guests wrote their answer on the inside. One the back it explaned that they would be taped into a guest book and asked that people not write in that area. We had them hung from clothes pins from a swag of twine. We got some wonderful well wishes and stories.

We did this partly because my bridesmaid had gotten us a beautiful guest book as a gift; however, when i got it it was a traditional guest book with lines and I knew I wanted to do something more untraditional. And the book was kind of small. So, we dispplayed the book during the reception and a month or so later, I took double stick tape (I should really take stock out in scotch for as much as I use that darn stuff) and taped the cards into the book. It's really cute because you open the flap to see everyone's comments. I also liked that it gave people a little privacy when the cards were pinned back up on the twine. Everyone wasn't just walking by and looking at what you wrote.

Good luck!

I'm thinking of this for our guest tree:

Having guests write their wishes/advice on flat wooden craft birds (I'll probably pre-paint them to speed the process up, but they can further embellish with the craft paint pens I'll provide) and hang them on the wish tree. We will later use them as Christmas ornaments. My only problem is that I can't seem to find any with holes pre-drilled in them. 

I'm going to be making a 12x12 scrapbook with the final product, but I created a 10x5 document with a 4x6 frame for a photo (and in it, it says "Your photo will go here so make sure you get one taken!") and then lines for their name, how they know us and advice for us. We'll have two people there taking photos of the people that we'll later print out two copies of, one for us and one to send to them.
