How to make a wish book at a wedding
Ideas for registration can be a lot, it all depends on the imagination and creativity of the young. Here are the most interesting ways:
- The design of the book can repeat the decor of the bride's dress and its color embodiment.
- All printing at the wedding, including a book, invitations, seating cards, souvenirs for guests can be in one style.
- On the cover you can put a portrait of the newlyweds, made in an unusual technique: a puzzle, frescoes, embroidered paintings, caricatures. By the way, a portrait can replace the book itself. Let the guests write wishes on the empty place of the canvas, then the image can be easily inserted into the frame and hung on the wall.
- On the table next to the book of wishes you can put a camera Polaroid and two-sided scotch. Guests take a photo and then paste it.
- If you spend an outdoor wedding on the nature, for example, on the seashore, then use for decoration beautiful small stones and seashells.
The book of wishes for the wedding with their own hands
An unusual alternative to the traditional wedding album is a tree. It can be done in any and technique and in any style, besides, a tree for wishes is easy to make by hand. Here are a few options.
Option 1: three-dimensional tree
You will need:
- twigs to create the base (the length and amount depend on your idea);
- vase or pot, where the tree will be planted (they should be sufficiently wide and stable);
- a large floral sponge (you can buy it in a flower shop);
- beautiful decorative stones, glass, etc.;
- cards for wishes 9x5 cm. The shape of the cards can be any, in the upper part it is necessary to make a hole for the tape not less than 1 cm in diameter;
- a lot of ribbons (by the number of cards) 10 cm;
- wide ribbon for decorating the trunk.
We collect twigs together, for reliability "trunk" can be glued together. We put the tree in a floral sponge, put it in a pot and fix it with the help of pebbles. The branches and vase can be further decorated with gold or silver paint, and the barrel is wrapped around the ribbon (the main thing is to "plant" it on the glue). Additional decorations are bells, bells or bows. The tree is ready. At the wedding, you put it on a separate table, next to the pile put cards, and in a special vase tapes. Guests write their wishes on cards and tie them to twigs.
Option 2: painted wood
A simpler version of the tree for wishes is to draw it on a piece of paper. Leaves can be made in the technique of application. In the free space of the sheet, guests will be able to write kind words.
A more creative idea is to make black ink as the basis for the tree: the trunk and thin branches. If you do not know how to draw, then find a template or a finished image on the Internet. Guests using finger paints and their own hands form foliage for your tree, pay attention to the photo.
Unusual books for wishes at the wedding
If the traditional options for the wedding book seem too boring, here are some ideas of creative design:
- Wishes on the stones. Choose a large flat pebble on which guests can write their own text. Then these stones must be varnished. For wishes, any other items are suitable: decorative plates, tea pairs, cutting board and even a rolling pin. They can be used in everyday life and remember the day of their own wedding.
- Popular postal stylistics can be supported by postcards with wishes in small bottles.
- It's easy to make a special wall for congratulations. It can be a large-format sheet in a special frame or slate.
- For photosessions, the initials of newlyweds are often made. During the banquet, guests can sign on to them and leave congratulations.
- If the wedding tracks a musical theme, then you can write wishes on the old vinyl records.
- A pretty retro idea is a mailbox. Each guest writes a letter to the newlyweds, seals it in an envelope and puts it in a small mail box on the table.
Whichever version of the book for the wishes you choose, remember that you should like it, and not just answer all the fashion trends. Good ideas and inspiration!
