Creating the perfect wedding message

3 Dec

here

Front of card

The typical wedding usually has a guestbook where family, relatives & friends write best wishes to the bride and groom. Pamelia & Joseph (Pam & Joe!), Kuchingites who recently had their wedding in Bali, did something really different and innovative with these ‘wishing notes’. Each guest was given this special card with these cute questions which they all had to fill out. I especially like the photo frame – I’d wonder how my friends would draw me!!

I’m told by one of the bridesmaids, Joanne Jong, that the lovely bride Pamelia worked extra hard on this and searched all over the net for some novel ideas. Eventually, she found this awesome site here and then took to printing the cards.

Goes to show that a little bit of imagination and creativity can go a long way! Is it me, or are a whole lot of ex-schoolmates are getting married nowadays! I must be getting old :)

    Elaine, you should get Joanne to show you the rest of Joe and Pam’s wedding ‘package.’ Haha… all personalised (and mostly handmade even the magnets I think)… save the date magnets, intricate invitation card, luggage tags, jelly beans… attention to detail was scary :)

    Good write-up El! From what I hear Pam’s wedding was a lot of fun. Can’t wait to see the photos:)

    Im a bit confused because this entry states that the bride came up with this idea all by herself yet I do believe this exact guestbook is available online http://www.guestbookstore.com/wedding.html

    The only thing different is the font i guess?

    Hmmm… we were told by the bride that she came up with the idea…

    Really don’t mean to ruffle any feathers but if you check the link, its exactly the same as the product sold on this website. Down to the wording, layout & border. I’ve had it bookmarked in my wedding folder for ages now which is the only reason I recognised it.

    No worries Trish! Just some crossed wires but thanks for letting us know – we’ve now edited the article to include your link. I think our friend JJ assumed Pam drew up the cards herself as well:)
