Hand-drawn Illustrations

For one couple, this map of the heavens (on which guests got to draw their own constellations) will always be a wedding day memory that burns bright, outshining the rest of the stars. Work with your stationer (or if you or your partner are graphic designers, create your own!) for a custom illustration that symbolizes your interests.

Message in a (Wine) Bottle

You will be together forever, so what's the rush to read everything at once? Create these wine bottle time capsules for your guests to leave you messages you can crack open on your one year anniversary, two year, five year, 20 year… Photo from Kai and Alisha's Foreign Cinema San Francisco Wedding, photography by Jerry Yoon Photographers

For the Music Lovers

Are you both musically inclined? Have guests sign your favorite record or instrument. How romantic would it be sitting around your fireplace serenading each other with something signed by all of your wedding guests?

For the Globe Trotting Couple

If you and your true love are avid travelers, have your guests leave messages of love (and suggestions for vacation destinations) on a globe! Then, if you can challenge yourselves to visit them all, your life together will be one adventure after another. Photography by Suzuran Photography via Ruffled

Fingerprints

Your guests can leave their marks on your wedding day in so many ways … and it doesn't just have to be through words. Nothing is more unique than fingerprints, because hey, no one's are the same! Turn your guests' fingerprints into a picture of balloons, flowers, etc. … anything you can hang on the wall in your new home that speaks to you as a couple!

Game Night

Bring out your competitive sides by having your guests sign the pieces of your favorite board game! Not only are games a great activity for a rainy day, but you'll have a blast reminiscing while you kick your lover's butt in Jenga.
