Let Guests Doodle on the Wedding Guestbook

I was recently asked by a bride if I had any ideas about a wedding guestbook that was fun and different. I instantly thought of what we did at our wedding - a photo guestbook.

We decorated a table with a poster explaining the process and also had the DJ announce it.

1-Have another Guest take your photo. (We used Polaroids to make it easy to print.)

2-Use double sided tape to apply photo to page. (Acid free of course. These are your memories!)

3-Have fun answering "predictions" and drawing photos on the guestbook page.

It was a big hit. Our guests took lots of goofy photos and had some funny words of wisdom to share with us. The best part was we now have a keepsake we actually look through once in a while (that's not just boring signatures), and we now have a photo of everyone who attended our wedding.

When making your table, be sure to include extra film, acid free markers and double sided tape, as well instruction on how to reload the camera. Customize your own wedding guest book today at the Guestbook Store.

Couples Trying the Knot on 9/09/09

Today's date has attracted many couples to the wedding chapel. It's not only pretty on paper, but 9 has special significance to numerologists. The number nine represents completion and rebirth, fitting for starting a new life together. The life path of nine is also described as harmonious and broad.

99 couples will put this theory to the test today by getting married at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. Other chapels are running specials, complete with "99.09" in the pricing.

Yet some believe the day is actually cursed. Theorists believe it is a day that represents Satan, because it is an upside down 06-06-06. The Japanese culture feel the number is unlucky, because its name – “ku” – has the same pronunciation as “agony.”

Since we like to concentrate on the positive, we like to think that this is a lucky day. We hope that all couples that are getting married or having a child today are blessed with the number's representation of harmony and rebirth.
