Try a Unique Wedding Guest Book

There is nothing like a wedding guest book to remind you of your special day, and the options for guest books is practically endless.  Consider creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake that will match your theme, personality, decor, and add to the beauty of your nuptial celebrations.  For advice and all your wedding guest book needs, be sure to check out Weddingstar, your one-stop shopping site for all things concerning weddings.

While you can always go with a traditional guest book, sometimes you want to try something this a little bit different for that unique touch.  Maybe you can display a tree and provide slips of paper for your wedding guests to leave a note of encouragement, congratulations, or even humor for you both to read at a later time. Then your guests can attach this special note to your wedding tree.  Keeping with the idea of notes, you can instruct your guests to leave a note for you to read on the anniversary that corresponds with their reception table number.  For example, if they are sitting at table number five, they would leave you a note to be read on your fifth anniversary.  Of course, this would require a great deal of organization for you, but it can also be a very meaningful guest book alternative.

Sometimes it is nice to have a guest book alternative that can be displayed in your home as a constant reminder of your special day.  Think about a piece of furniture (maybe a wooden chair) that your guests can sign their names and/or messages.  Or even think about a birthday calendar.  Instruct your guests to sign their names with a little message on their next birthday on the calendar you have provided.  This would serve a dual purpose.  You would have a nice message for almost every week of the year, and you would never forget your the birthdays of your friends and family members.  You can even have your guests sign a cork or a stone with their name and a nice message.  Think of the decorating possibilities!

As you mull over the many ideas for your guest book, know that whatever you need to make this personalized, special, and unique, you can find what you need at Weddingstar.  You can also be guaranteed that you won't break the bank with their items, and no one will brand you as "cheap."  Why?  Because Weddingstar's specialty are wedding accessories that are reasonably priced but high quality.

Creative and Unique Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations are the first thing your prospective guests will probably see, and it is important that you truly take the time to send out an invitation that is unique, appealing, and impressive.  Weddingstar has a remarkable selection of wedding invitations to match any style, theme, or personality you can conceive.  You can count on their design team to provide high quality invitations that are completely affordable.

You may wish to add personal touches to make your invitations unique and creative.  Think about adding a map that shows your favorite romantic haunts.  It will be your opportunity to impart some memorable knowledge to your guests.  Make sure you also include the wedding destination on the map.  For a really sleek idea, add a ticket or boarding pass with all the wedding information on it.  You friends and family members can keep the "ticket" as a reminder of when and where your special day will be.


Some couples like to print completely nontraditional invitations, and Weddingstar has everything you need for those as well.  Consider having a handkerchief custom-printed with the wedding information and even a personalized map to the wedding site.  Do you want to use a little something different for an envelope?  You might use a muslin drawstring bag.  To truly personalize it, you may add some kind of decor from each of your hometowns.  Once you let your imagination run wild, almost anything is possible.

In addition to picking out the style and design of the invitations, don't forget about proper wording of the invitations and RSVP cards.  It will be in your best interest to do some research on both of these so you follow appropriate wedding etiquette.  And be sure to head back Weddingstar for all the best invitations and accessories!

First Impressions: Wedding Invitations

First impressions are absolutely paramount in almost every situation.  And your wedding is no exception.  Wedding invitations are the first things your guests will see, and they are often the first thing that the groom and bride will choose for their big day.  I remember how important wedding invitations were for my wedding day.  I spent long hours looking through catalogs and getting everything just right. The choices are endless when it comes to invitations--everything from generic to theme-based to everything in between.

Perhaps your wedding has a beach theme, and if that is the case, you may wish to choose a Coral Wedding Invitation.  What could be better than sending out a unique design like this to your friends and families so they can know to expect a fun and memorable day with the bride and groom?

When you send out a wedding invitation, the tradition is to send an RSVP card with the invitation.  Including these cards is a simple way of making sure that you receive all the pertinent information from your guests that you need to plan your reception.  Some choose to keep these cards very simple with only the absolute essential contact information and who will be in attendance at the wedding.  Some choose to add more information such as meal choice, potential allergens, special requests, and more.  It is up to you how detailed this card is, but it is good to remember that the more information you receive from your guests, the more you are able to plan for any potential problems or issues.

The wording of your wedding invitation is probably the most important consideration.  You need to know wedding etiquette, and it is important that you follow this.  Do a little research in order not to offend the hosts and your guests.  Some of the questions you will want to ask would include:

• Who is paying for the wedding?
• Are the families of both the bride and groom going to be involved?
• Who is hosting the wedding?

And that will only scratch the surface, but you will be well on your way to getting your wording the way you want it to be as well as the way it should be.  This is your special day, and you want to make sure that the wedding invitations complement your wedding rather than detract from it.
