Guest Book Ideas

If your looking for something different for a guestbook instead of the normal book with signatures? One unique idea is to have little wooden hearts that guests can sign and slide into a wooden frame. Have a larger one with the bride and grooms name that they can slide in as well. 

Want something to do with your engagement pictures? Create a photo album but leave blank pages or empty space where guests can flip through the photo album and sign anywhere they like.

Another idea is to get a cheap plate from the dollar store and write in the center of it the couple's name and wedding date, and let the guests sign all around it. If your expecting a large number of guests, you could do a platter, or have multiple plates that they can sign.

Wedding Bands

My husband sent me an article recently about how a couple recorded their voices saying I love you and had the sound waves engraved in rings that are now their wedding bands. I thought this was a really cool way to make the wedding bands unique and all about the couple.

Birdseed, balloons, or sprinkles?

Are you looking for something different for your guests to throw as you walk out of the church? I'm sure you've been to weddings where they throw the traditional items after the ceremony like birdseed, balloons, or ribbons. The new trend throws a splash of color after the ceremony. Couples are starting to have ribbons in their wedding colors waved as they walk through the guests to their get away car. Sprinkles or biodegradable confetti are a couple of other colorful items being thrown as the newlyweds exit.

Wedding Programs

Are you looking for something different than the ordinary program for a wedding? You may stick with a traditional program, but want to give your guests something to read while they wait for the ceremony to begin. Or maybe you just want to do away with a traditional program all together. 

One option is to do a pamphlet that is broken out step by step and tells you exactly what to expect from the moment you get the pamphlet to the end of the reception. Guests will find it entertaining, but very informational at the same time. 

Another option is to have an insert in the program with the couple's story. It's nice if maybe family friends or coworkers may not know how the couple met. This gives guests a chance to get to know more about the couples relationship. 

Flower Girls and Ring Bearers

Do you have a flower girl, but the church doesn't allow flower petals to be thrown? Other options besides the tradition of flower girls throwing flower petals down the aisle are:

• Carry a bouquet of flowers
• Hand fresh cut flowers to the people on the ends of the aisle
• Carry a sign that says here comes the bride or all you need is love

If your looking for something different for your ring bearer have the ring bearer:

• Carry the rings in a box that looks like a safe or that says ring security 
• Wear sun glasses
• Wear an ear piece
