Pick of the Week - May 23, 2011

While perusing on Pinterest I've seen so many great ideas!  I'm really drawn to wedding ideas that are not only creative, able to be personalized, and practical, but can be done on a budget as well.  Below are a few examples of  a thumbprint guest book.  Unlike many guests books, this one you can proudly display in your home after the wedding.  I only wish I had seen this version of a guest book when I was getting married!    A thumbprint guest books allow you to choose your picture and what information you would like displayed (and in what format).  Your guests press their finger into a washable stamp pad (most likely in your wedding colors) and place their own unique fingerprint on the picture (make sure you keep some wet wipes near by!).  They then write their name near it.   This creates a great piece of art for your home that is also memento from your big day!

Looking to personalize your wedding without spending a lot of money while creating a keepsake that will last forever?  Check out the pictures below of photo guest books.  It's a great way to take your favorite pictures of you and your hunny and incorporate them into your guest book.  Then, leave it out for your guests to sign as they enter the reception.  It makes a great, personalized guest book that your guests will love looking at as well as a coffee table book you can keep out in the open in your house for as long as you'd like!  If you're a fan make sure to check out Shutterfly to start your photo book (they're my personal fav but there are numerous other websites like Snapfish) and you can always find great coupon codes at Retail Me Not. There are only certain markers that don't smear on the page but they're about 1.50 a piece.  Shutterfly can direct you to a website where you can order them.  Pick colors that match your wedding colors and make it even more personal!
