karma: 1 |  Guestbook - Question for DIY Pages
While I was reading the thread on creative guestbooks I saw something mentioned I had not seen in other templates before. Quote:

You could ask questions like "how many kids do you think they'll have" or "where will they be living in 10 years" or just ask for advice. | So I love the idea of the questions to add to pages in our scrapbook. These would be great to read in 5 or 10 years and laugh about the answers. So can you ladies help me think up some questions? I am drawing a total blank. Thanks Carla  |

Mine were really generic. (see below) 
I've seen some really cute ones like:
- what will they name their kids/pets
- how many kids/pets
- what city/town/neighborhood will they end up living in
- what will be the birthdate of their firstborn
- what will Bob get Susan for their 5th anniversary
stuff like that...

I really like the page that Becks did. I am wondering if you give those to your guests to fill out, when would you do it?

Wow, I must have been surfing the net so much recently that all the sites are mixed up in my head!
I really gotta start writing stuff down.

Here's the link where I got the idea Welcome to the Guestbook Store! Guestbooks for Every Occasion!
I plan to put small easels on each table with some pens or crayons, my sheets will be 8" x 8" (25 cents each at Michaels!) and then have the guests put them in a binder when they're done. That way everyone can look over everyone's responses.
I might put some extras out incase someone messes up big time, or if little ones scribble all over them.

We did a photobook guestbook that guests wrote in. we passed it around during dinner. It looked like people enjoyed flipping through it. I loved reading the comments. they made me so happy. we got several "thank you for including us" and "thanks for planning a great vacation." That meant a lot to me.
anyway, my point is that with a small group you could possibly do it during dinner.

Here are a couple I found from the Knot in case anyone else is thinking of doing this.
* How did you first meet the bride and groom?
* When did you know they were in love?
* What's the secret to a great marriage?
* Can you share a funny memory about the bride and/or the groom?
