Postcard Guestbook

Guestbook wise, I originally wanted to do a Quaker style wedding certificate, but in the end, I didn't have time to design one and didn't have the $$ to have someone design one for me. So, instead I went the route of vintage style postcards. I stuck 2 stamped postcards in glassine envelopes for each guest/family, one for them to mail to whomever, one addressed to us.

More on these here.

Well, with only 20 wedding guests in tow, that narrowed down to only about 7 couples/families. That means, essentially I should have received about 7 postcards in the mail. Nope. It was a postcard guestbook FAIL. Out of 19 people/7 families, I received 4 postcards, 2 of them were from the same person. hehe. Yup, my bestie mailed me back both her postcards.

I shouldn't really be surprised, I mean only half our guests mailed back their RSVP, so why would I think any different with pre-stamped postcards?!

In case you were wondering what the postcard said: "Hey Auntie! We have a groom over here!!! A traditional wedding $3000-10,000 plus dollars, seeing your groom shake his tail feather in a grass skirt and coconuts...priceless." Bestie is referring to this. Her other postcard talked about her daughter (our flowergirl) running away from the aisle. ;o)

Either way, I'm gonna show you how we decided to keep our (4) postcards...

In this super cute wooden album we got at the Aloha Swap Meet for $8.00! woot, woot!

I love this album because you can easily display the postcards and easily pull it out of the album to read the postcard. Double score. Not that it takes much to read 4 postcards. :oP

We had spare postcards, so I decided to stick them in the album too, that way the album looked more "full".

It's a shame my idea didn't work as hoped, but ehh..what can you do.
