DIY Series: Mad-Libs Guest Book

It seems like everyone always has their own advice to offer when you start a new chapter in your life. Mom and Dad have words of wisdom, Grandma has old stories to learn from, and friends always seem to think they know best. But wouldn't it be great if you could get some advice that you're allowed to laugh out loud at?!?



Every time I turn around I keep finding more and more fun ways couples are spinning their guest books! This Mad-Libs guest book idea we found on Emmaline Bride is so fun! And it will leave the bride and groom in stitches even after the big day is over!














Now this looks like some advice I could take! What do you guys think of these??

Wedding Templates

A friend of mine recently emailed me explaining that her bride-to-be friend was in a dilemma. She was going down her bridal to-do list and saw that ordering invitations was next on her agenda. She set out to find some wedding-invite options, but soon got some intense sticker shock at the costs she was given.



I think this happens often, you get engaged and just don't realized all of the costs associated with a wedding in general. Frankly, it all adds up. And paper, isn't expensive, but the work that goes into creating an invitation out of that paper, is costly and labor intensive.



Creating your wedding invitations can be a blast, but many brides don't realize that they can also put a decent sized dent in your bridal budget. For that reason, we are here with a suggestion: templates!

Templates are an easy way to choose the invite image you want, the designer customizes your details (Name, Date, Location- you know the drill), emails it back to you and you take it to a printer- voila! Wedding Invites Galore!

Esty has a wonderful selection and variety of beautiful wedding templates- so simple. so quick. so fun!



Just do some finger exercises, because you'll need to build up your using scissor muscles... most likely.
