Guest Book Alternatives
From Bubbs:
This is a pic of our wedding guest book--hand made from leopard wood and leather on archival paper.
Gigi and I went to a participatory art night at SFMOMA a few months ago and saw these journals these journals that an artist distributed all over the country and people passed around and filled up, then mailed back to him. They were full of poems and drawings and random writing. That inspired us to think a little differently about the wedding guest book.
So, I just ordered a handmade journal from etsy seller julie boyles for everyone to write/draw etc. in while staying with us over the wedding weekend.
From Gigi:
We had the guest book on the big house porch for most of the weekend (though we really saw most people fill it up the day they were leaving.
I ordered cute little wooden pencils from ebay (colored and regular) and left them along with the journal.
We got amazing stuff. After Bubbs and I packed up on Monday morning and were driving the van down the bumpy dirt road, I opened the journal and started reading. We both started crying as we read the wonderful things people wrote. They reminisced about the weekend, the wedding, the love that filled the air.
That 'love in the air' thing that happened at the wedding, we can recreate it anytime just by opening our guest book.
