At many weddings and showers everyone sign's their names on a mat or they write in a little book their advice for the person (couple if it's a wedding). Not that there's a thing wrong with this - Derek and I have a picture of us from our wedding with everyone's signature on the mat - I just thought it would be nice to do words of wisdom with a twist.
At the shower I had a pad of paper and I gave each lady a page from it with a marker. I asked them to write their words of wisdom in a very brief manner. Then I took a photo of each lady holding their page, as well as one showing just their hands holding the paper. Having them hold their words was keeping in theme with Barb holding the booties on the invites.
From the two pictures I took of each person, I used the flattering face pictures and then the hand pictures, in case the face picture wasn't flattering, and made a photo book on Shutterfly (love that site!) with other photos from the shower for Barb.
I thought doing the photos was a unique way to capture everyone's words. Below are photos from the guests:
"Keep your son away from my daughter!! LOL!!"
"Cover up or he will spray you."
This above and below pictures are from Granny and she was the only one allowed to write something that wasn't brief!
"Don't worry about the new parts. You'll be a pro in no time."
"No snakes or frogs in the house!"
"Cherish every moment."
"Prepare for dirt, mud and destruction."
"Just remember: you rock and you can do it all"
"Little boys are fun!"
(Love this photo of Carol and Sam!)
Anyway, they displayed nicely in the photo book. Should have taken pictures of it before I gave it to Barb, but I guess I can't remember to do everything I ought to.
