We had to Pick Out a Wedding Guestbook

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

After a long search for the perfect wedding album and wedding guest book I had just about given up. I was really getting tired of searching and coming up empty handed. A friend suggested that I take a look at the wedding accessories available online. So I decided to take a look online. And you know what? Not only did I find the wedding guest book I wanted, but a lot of my other wedding accessories too.

This guestbook was just what I wanted for our fairy tale wedding. I also ordered a pen and holder that was perfect for a storybook wedding. I also found our wedding album and lots of other great fairy tale themed ideas. I was really surprised at all the decoration ideas and the accessories they carried. We found so many accessories for our flower girl, ring boy and his groomsmen and best man, and I found the nicest items for my bridemaids too.

I’m so glad I didn’t have to go store to store looking for these accessories. But, of course, there was the baker, caterer, photographer and the music to take car of. We also had to shop for our wedding attire, but most of what I bought for our ceremony and reception, I bought online. Our accessories weren’t as expensive as you may think, especially our wedding guestbook items. There were a lot of wholesale wedding accessories we were able to get. That does make it easier on a couple with a small budget for their wedding.

I couldn’t believe the gorgeous little favor gifts they had available and I must have gone over and over them, trying to make up my mind which ones to choose. This was our friends and family and I wanted to make sure I picked out the best in favors I could find. My fiance picked out the favors for the guys and I took care of the gifts for the women. That seemed fair, and it worked out nicely too. For each of our lovely lady guests, I picked out adorable wedding carriage candles that matched up with my fairytale theme. For the men at the reception, my fiance decided on keeping it manly and got everyone special shot glasses as thank you gifts.

I almost forgot to tell you, I ordered two guest books for our wedding. One was strictly for the ceremony, and the other were beautiful wedding guest books. I wanted the names of everyone that was able to stay for the reception, because some of the guests had to leave. And boy, did we celebrate! We must have danced and partied half the night. With scrapbooking pages and a place for all the little keepsakes I wanted to hang onto, this wedding album I bought could hold all the memories of that day and more. I put one of our wedding invitations, monogrammed napkins and other little keepsakes in it.

Leaving the reception wasn’t easy, we were having such a great time, but we had to get to the airport and start our honeymoon. As we were leaving, some of the guests were giving us their best wishes and congrats, while commenting on the fabulous wedding reception. I hope everyone really had a great time, I know we did.

I had no idea where he was taking me for our honeymoon until we arrived. I couldn’t have been more surprised to find out we were spending the next seven days in Orlando at a Walt Disney World Resort. He thought a fairytale wedding deserved a fairytale honeymoon. I could hardly wait to get all the pictures developed and into my special album I bought just for our honeymoon photos.
