ALTERNATIVE GUEST BOOK IDEAS
A wedding guest book doesn’t have to be in the form of a book. Here are some fun alternative ideas…
Supply postcards with the bride and groom’s address printed on the back to fill with good wishes during the reception and drop in a mailbox displayed in the lobby. The cards are to be mailed the next day by a friend of the couple so that the newlyweds will return from their honeymoon to a brimming mailbox. Use cards from a vintage address file for gusts to express their well wishes. Hire a photo booth and add a blackboard for guests to chalk up their messages and capture them in photos. Follow Japanese custom by asking guests to tie their sentiments to tree branches with ribbons. Set out an old-fashioned typewriter with sheets of paper for guests to write good wishes to the bride and groom as the feeling strikes.

WEDDING INSPIRATION - GARDEN PARTY
There is something so beautifully romantic about a garden wedding. Play off the natural beauty of Mother Nature and incorporate sage greens, vibrant pinks and purples into the styling. Serve a refreshing punch and delicious picnic sandwiches and mini quiches when guests arrive at the reception and set up a game of croquet on the lawn. Display hand picked flowers in jam jars and hang them from trees together with bird cadges to create an enchanting whimsical atmosphere. Set tables with lace linens and tea lights and let the beautiful natural setting do the rest!

Winter is a cold season with crisp mornings, bare trees and with any luck snow on the ground. Use it to your advantage and let the icy colors of winter set the tone for your celebration with cool blues, silvers and snow whites. Add delicate lace, white feathers, flowers and candles to create a heavenly setting. Offer guests a warming coffee or hot chocolate served with delicious doughnuts. Use pine cones as place card holders and bare tree branches to decorate tables.
Let our Iceflake Wedding Suite set the tone.

Testimonial
“We are getting married in Italy in September and wanted wedding invites to depict our wedding abroad. We used Farrell & Chase for our wedding invites and RSVP cards. Pamela was great to work with and no request was too big for her. The quality and style of the invites were excellent and our guests loved them. Thank you Pamela.”
