The key to Unique Guest Books

April 16th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

There wasn’t a bridal shop or accessories store I hadn’t checked for my wedding album and wedding guest book. I was really becoming disgusted with my fruitless little expedtion. Then a friend at work suggested I check the web. So I decided to take a look online. And you know what? They not only had the wedding guest book I wanted for my themed wedding, but a lot of other accessories too.

The guestbook was so beautiful and perfect for a fairy tale wedding. I also ordered a pen and holder that was perfect for a storybook wedding. I also found our wedding album and lots of other great fairy tale themed ideas. There was a lot more wedding decorating ideas than I expected and the choice of accessories was fantastic. We found so many accessories for our flower girl, ring boy and his groomsmen and best man, and I found the nicest items for my bridemaids too.

Finding everything in one place sure beats running all over the neighborhood for accessories. But, of course, there was the baker, caterer, photographer and the music to take car of. I got almost every accessory I needed for our wedding and reception online, and the wedding attire, of course, we had to go to shops for. Our astonishing guestbook for wedding items was no where near as expensive as they looked. There were a lot of wholesale wedding accessories we were able to get. That does make it easier on a couple with a small budget for their wedding.

I couldn’t believe the gorgeous little favor gifts they had available and I must have gone over and over them, trying to make up my mind which ones to choose. I wanted only the best wedding favors for our guests, after all these are our friends and family. My fiance and I decided to split the wedding favors shopping, and I bought for the ladies and he bought for the guys. We felt that was the best way to do it. For each of our lovely lady guests, I picked out adorable wedding carriage candles that matched up with my fairytale theme. My fiance, being a man, chose some pretty cool shot glasses for the guys, even though it didn’t go with the theme, it was something they all liked.

I almost forgot to tell you, I ordered 3  guest books for our wedding. One was strictly for the ceremony, and the other were guest books. I wanted the names of everyone that was able to stay for the reception, because some of the guests had to leave. And what a celebration it was! We danced so much my feet were killing me. I’m so glad I picked out the perfect wedding album for our pictures, one with scrapbooking and a special compartment for keepsakes. An invitation, monogrammed napkin and so many lovely little memories fit perfectly in the little compartment of keepsakes.

We were having such a wonderful time at the reception, we almost hated to leave, but we had a plane to catch for our honeymoon. As we were leaving, some of the guests were giving us their best wishes and congrats, while commenting on the fabulous wedding reception. I hope everyone really had a great time, I know we did.

My husband wanted to keep the destination of our honeymoon a secret until the last possible moment. I was so thrilled when I found out we would be spending seven glorious fun filled days in Orlando, at a Walt Disney World Resort. He said he wanted to keep the fairy tale alive just a little longer for me. I bought a special honeymoon album just for pictures of our trip and I couldn’t wait to fill it up with all these great memories.
