It was nice, 'cos we gathered them all up and took them with us and didn't look at them utnil a few days into our honeymoon. One of hte guys in our wedding drew little pics of the wedding party, and others just had funny remarks about things.

Each guest or each couple (they can sign together or separate depending on if we know both or not) can sign a card and then we're going to take all the cards and arrange them in a photo album made for 4x6 photos. We may also put a few photos in, so maybe for each page, we could have 2 guest cards and 2 photos (preferably of the people who signed them). <br><br>I'm quite excited about it! The card stock is going to be the same 'ecru' colour of my wedding invitations, and we're going to try to find suitable pens that have brown ink instead of black or blue (since the writing on our invites is brown).<br><br>Also, with the whole 'card' thing, we can use certain ones (like from our parents and wedding party) in the wedding scrap book I'll be making after everything is said and done! <3Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:15:36 GMTEmilieJ87http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic410139-2-1.aspxim using picaboo too to create a photo guestbook for people to sign..i actually just got my book in the mail the other day...its AMAZING!!!Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:42:18 GMTchuliehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic410139-2-1.aspxWe're thinking of using:</P><P><A href="http://www.soapboxvideobooth.com/">http://www.soapboxvideobooth.com/</A></P><P>They are really great!
