I love the advice pages and envelopes!
For Jamaica, I had a notebook that was passed around at all of the showers and pre-wedding events.
Each guest was asked to write something, a memory, advice, well wishes, recipe, etc. By the end of everything it got filled up!
For the AHR we had a photobooth. Each guest got a page to keep and a page for us. The one they gave to us went into a scrapbook and they signed the page. It was a HIT! They had costumes & props so some of the pictures are a little crazy.
I tried to copy Amy's dry erase board idea, but when you combine markers and cameras and liquor, the result is not always a good one! LOL
Some were a little sexual and one of the signs just said BALLS. There was no nudity, so I guess we need to be thankful for that.

Sorry for the hijack!!  | You could go to a scrapbook store and buy something to try to cover it up - like little silk flowers or a ribbon, or a strip of patterned paper. Take it with you and let the girls there help you. Someone is bound to be creative enough to fix it so you can' see it.

We had post cards made on vistaprint, using a picture i had taken on our first ever trip to cabo before we were engaged.
We had enough made to give a few to each guest. Then we put Canadian postage, and our mailing address on 1 card per OOT bag for guests to write a note to us upon their return. Then they don't feel they have to write something on the spot. It is fantastic! It is so much fun once the exitement of the wedding is all over, to get these cards in the mail!!!
We are going to get a small album to put them all in. This will be a keepsake that we can look back at over the years!

i've seen handmade scrapbooks. you have each guest or couple fill out their name, message, and adress. then someone takes a polaroid of them and places it on that page. at the end you have a scrapbook of your guests and beautiful messages to remember of that day. my favorite it when they share their favorite part of the wedding!

I love the postcard idea. I love getting mail so it would be fun to come home from our honeymoon to a house full of fun mail. Plus, I like the fact that each person will have time to write something meaningful to us rather than a generic, rushed message.
