I bought the book from Invitations by Dawn and I designed the Wedding Wishes card on vista print.

We are having people write us a special note or message on pieces of paper, and then put them into a bottle on the table . (Like messages in a bottle.) I saw this somewhere, possibly on this website, and it looked really cute how they had it set up. Just make sure the bottle has a big enough opening so you can take them out later and read them!

We'll have two different guestbooks - one for the DW and one for the AHR.

I think we will use the Guestbook pages from the one posted earlier, but I am designing them myself so I can tailor the questions to us. It will be more personal that way! I will use this for my shower for bridal advice.

Then I'd like to use the idea of the whiteboard and photos for our AHR. I think it would be really fun for our guests to get creative, and even silly, for this party!

And for the DW I am considering the postcards - I think that is a neat way of doing it, that way they can think about what they'd like to write, and we get to receive all sorts of fun mail when we get home. I'd like to do it so they mail it from the resort (they'll have more time at the resort than at home!) but am not certain on where to buy DR postage? I would guess the gift shop at the resort would have it?

I am using a guess book that has pockets where you insert photos. During the cocktail hour I am having a table for pictures. Someone will take your picture with a polaroid camera and give it to you, then you insert it in the album pocket and write us a message. This very fun to do. The guests enjoy this activity.

I have a great idea.... well I think it is, especially because this is what we're planning on doing :)

We're getting married in Tulum, so we're going to get a book on Tulum, kind of like a coffee table book. Then we're going to have guests sign that book... like a yearbook, on the inside cover or any random page. I think it'll be a great coffee table book that will always remind us of our wedding!
