I realized that throughout the planning process I never blogged about what I was doing for that. I was lucky enough to score me one of Zinke Designs Wishing Well. Its a beautiful ivory floral magnetic box with 150 4×6 cards and a pen. Pretty for display and perfect for storage.
I was searching for a bowl or something where I could place the cards in. Then, my mom came to the rescue, pulls out a vintage crystal dish. It was perfect… and vintage (it belonged to my great-grandmother). Plus, don’t the cards look better in a pretty dish?
The guestbook table was really a family thing. My step-mother purchased candelabra shaped miniature trees. Yes yes… I am not kidding you, the branches of the trees are shaped like a chandelier. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the first time I had seen anything like that.
A lady who works with my dad mentioned that she had a vintage typewriter which might look nice with my whole vintage theme. I was so excited about this, so I sort of pulled a Lovebug. (thanks for the inspiration) I spent hours cleaning the thing, it was filled with dirt and dust… but in the end something beautiful never looses its beauty.
I had a fun ready what our guest left as words of wisdom. Unfortunately, not many people left us notes, so we should of made an announcement somehow, but it doesn’t really matter. My favorite message was from my cousin “Mr. Flamingo, my cousin is always right, remember that… or I’ll kill you!” lol
What was your favorite guestbook message?
