Fingerprint Guest Books |

-------

I came across these awesome fingerprint guestbooks in Bleu de Toi's shop on Etsy

They are so unique and are a great interactive and personal way to get your guests to 'sign' your guest book.

They make beautiful custom pieces of art to hang in your home as well!

And there are many different styles that would suit multiple events, not just weddings.

Plus, let's be honest, these guests books also serve the very practical purpose of getting your guest's true identity up front in case one of them gets a little too rowdy and breaks a few things, you will be covered as you will already have their finger prints on hand! hehe

The Balloons and Bicycle style would be great for a birthday party guest book.

The "Just Married" Car would be so cute to use as a wedding guestbook:

The house with balloons coming out of the chimney would be great for a house warming party.

The beautiful tree option would be great for a wedding guestbook or even an anniversary party:

My personal favourite is the Flying Pig style which I think would be really cute for a child's birthday party and would look really cute hanging in their bedroom afterwards:

And I love the wreath idea as it would be great for a family reunion guestbook or to have at Christmas or another holiday for all the family to 'sign'.
You could even then make prints of the original copy to share with family so that everyone had a copy.

Mothers Should Get Bouquets too |

----------

Being a photographer I meet a lot of brides, and I know that a lot of them would say,

"I wish my mom could be my matron of honor!"

Moms are so special and so for my wedding day I wanted them to look like even more a part of the bridal party and so I gave them each their own bouquet.

The bouquets not only tied them in nicely with the rest of the bridal party but they also gave them something to hold during pictures (which they both said they liked, as it is often hard to figure out what to do with your hands in photos).

Bouquets are also a younger looking item to have as apposed to an arm corsage. And on a hot day like our wedding day was I am sure they were thankful NOT to have an arm corsage.

Here are a few images of hows the mom's bouquets looked. They were made up of smaller scale sunflowers and all of the same filler/wild flowers that were part of the bridesmaid's bouquets.

Unique Wedding Programs |

Pin It


If you are looking for a unique wedding program that fits your personality as well as the theme & style of your big day, look no further.

These Mini Newspaper's made by KO TWO Designs allow you to have a program that is not only informative for your guests but also entertains them at the same time.

WHAT IS IN THE PAPER?

The programs include a 'Top Story' all about you as a couple including several photos of you throughout the paper, along with your ceremony's order of events, a list of the bridal party members, and lots of free space for you to come up with fun ads and sections that show off your personality and the theme of your day.

HOW CAN I PERSONALIZE IT?

Choose to do a fun crossword puzzle to test your guest's knowledge of you as a couple or choose to theme the puzzle to enhance the theme of your wedding.

Or create funny ads that are personal to you as a couple - or have an "Ask the Experts Advice Column" featuring advice from the parent's of the bride and groom and bridal party.

Include a special "Thank You" section to thank those who helped make your day happen - Or even come up with a cute section to feature your pet(s).

There is no limit to the creativity you can add to your paper to make it personal and meaningful for your day!
