The Guest List

March 8, 2010 | Author: Leslie, Guest Book, Where to Start

Making the guest list can be stressful to many couples planning their wedding. To make it easier, here are important questions to ask yourself.

Are you going for a small intimate ceremony or a large loud one?  When you know the answer, you know how long your guest list should be.

How much are you willing to spend? A lot of guests equals to a lot of money needed. Caterers usually charge per head so you have to trim down your guest list if you are operating on a tight budget.

Will they be able to make it? The date of the wedding should also influence the guest list. Some may be able to attend while some may not.

Where is the wedding and reception going to be held? If for example, you are planning a destination wedding, the distance will be a considerable factor to some of your guests. In addition, you need to know how many people can be accommodated in your venue. The venue can only hold a certain number of people, exceed that and some may have problems with seating.

Make Your Guest Book Extra Special

July 10, 2009 | Adorable Affordable Finds, Guest Book, Tip of the week

media.nl

We’ve all been to weddings once in our lives but now that we’re planning our own wedding, it’s natural to want to make things extra special. I’d like to share a new way to break from the traditional guest book and even make it extra special.

I came across The Wedding Outlet, a site that sells a lot of stuff for weddings and I found their Signature Frame concept as an absolute charmer. Instead of having your guests sign the traditional guest book, have them sign on the white signature mat with the word “Guests” printed in silver foil. The signature mat is framed in black wood and has an opening for a 6 x 4 photo.

The Signature Frame holds about 25 – 50 signatures and when everyone has signed, slip in a nice picture of you and the groom and use the black velvet easel that comes with the frame to allow the photo to stand. You don’t need to flip through pages just to see who came because with the Signature Frame, you’ll always see the signatures of the people who came on your most special day. And, for just $38.95 including the pen, it’s a pretty good deal!

Consider This Alternative

If you are looking to spend even less (about 1/2 less) visit your local craft store.  There are always deals on frames.  You can get the Matte Frame and Pen there or from a store like Party City. Retail: $15.00
