Calendar Guest Books
A new idea that is topping the list of hot new trends is the creation of a Calendar Guest Book.
Filled with pictures of you, your family and friends, taken throughout the previous year, the Calendar Guest Book is a scrapbook of memories that will last much longer than just the one day of your wedding, and instead of languishing in a box, is one wedding accessory that will hang proudly on your wall for a full 365 days.
Depending on your purpose in using a calendar format for a guest book, there are many ways of organizing your calendar for guests to sign.
For some bridal couples, the onus is on having their guests fill the calendar up with their names on each of their birth dates on their proper day, that way throughout the year, the couple can then commemorate each guest's birthday with a card. (The fact that they are at your wedding, means that you already have their addresses).
For other's, the onus is less on birth dates and more on having fun, letting guests sign underneath a picture of themselves, or on any date that strikes a fancy to them.
Guests can sign on a date that has meaning to them, such as their own wedding anniversary, or on a date that has meaning to you both, such as the day you met as friends, or even a special family reminiscent date such as an upcoming family reunion.
Providing guests with fun and colorful pens to write their messages with, and fun stickers and embellishments they can add to your calendar, makes this a fun break the ice activity that will have your guests interacting as they add their own special comments.
Either way, as you utilize the calendar throughout the year, you have new signatures and new memories to make you smile.
A fun idea that will leave you with a much cherished memento as you embark on your first year of marriage.
