So, my friend's wedding is coming up fast. I was originally going to take a papersource class and make the guestbook for her there. However, due to my mom's health I had to miss the class.

SO, I have three options at this point. Order one of the two guestbooks below, or attempt to make it myself.

FYI, her wedding is very nontraditional (in her uncle's backyard, wearing a short dress, no bridesmaids, no wedding "colors," no walking down the aisle, she is baking her own cupcakes, etc.) if that helps in your decision.

Thanks!

I like #2 a lot, but I feel you could easily make that yourself. Couldn't you just buy a blank book and glue the ribbon and flowers (although I probably wouldn't want to flower because they'd come off over time). Then you could make the name card on the computer, or use stamps from the craft store? Then again, I am into that type of stuff... I'm a total scrapbooker. So really its all about time...

(Possibly more, since the papersource is the nearest crafty store) If I make it myself, the main risk is that it comes out ugly and I don't have time to make another one. But, it would be more heartfelt if it were made by me. I just can't do anything too complicated. Actually, most of my craft stuff is in LA, so I should probably rule out making it myself...

The woman is making me a matching scrapbook now too. I'm having a hard time saying which one I like honestly beacause neither one are my taste per se, and without any wedding colors it makes it tough. The first one looks more formal, the second one looks more tropically... I'm not much help!

I will decide when I see it in person if I want to attach it. I may just attach it to the sign in pen, so it will be a "flower pen" =) Thanks everyone for your votes! PS I think the first one is actually more the style of MY wedding...something to think about.... PS2 Violet, I really liked your etsy seller too, but I think hers were just too pricy for my project. BUT, I may end up getting one of her photo books for my own wedding
