Truth? I've been to many weddings.
And if I may be bold on this sunny Monday morning as I think about what works and what doesn't work at a wedding, I offer this thought: what is with the guest book?
All couples know who is attending their wedding so having guests sign their names seems to me to be a bit redundant. Not only does this often create an unwelcoming "long line" as guests arrive at your wedding, it doesn't offer a very elegant initial experience.
If you're thinking about a guest book, consider "nixing it" and going with something that may be ultimately more meaningful to you:
- a framed photo mat for personal written messages.
- a wishing tree for special notes to be opened on your first anniversary.
- a special welcoming drink with a fortune attached.
A guest book is a traditional piece to a wedding - think about what you truly want your guests to experience when they arrive at your ceremony and take it from there!
