Martha Stewart Weddings, Volume 10 1999
A guest book doesn't have to be in the form of a book. The bright hues of these small gift cards can't help but beguile the eyes of wedding guests; their small size gives well-wishers just enough space to write a sweet thought, quip, or hope; and the envelopes, allowing for privacy, encourage them to get a little sentimental. Use a clear vase or bowl to hold the sealed envelopes; after the wedding, the opened envelopes can be glued facedown into an album so that the cards can be easily removed and reread.
I'd like to know where to get the glass container.
Does anyone know where to get the small cards?
yes- there are some envelope guest books that are super cute on etsy.com
Has anyone found a guest book to mount the cards/envelopes in, similar to the one shown?
This is such a great idea. We plan on using it for our wedding.
I found cards and envelopes for really good prices at paperpresentation.com
I found cards and envelopes for really good prices at paperpresentation.com
I recently found small top flap envelopes in tons of colors on envelopperinc.com and they're reasonably priced at 50 envelopes for 7.50!
what size cards did everyone use? The picture looks like 2.5x3.5 but what I found at paper_source.com are 3x5.
Found mine at www.crateandbarrel.com. Much more elegant than the one shown. Approx. $40.
Found an awesome vase at crateandbarrel.com. Much more elegant than the one shown. Approx $40.
Pampered Chef sells a trifle bowl that would work for the container
Try an art supply store for the cards and envelopes
Where can you find a vase like this in New York City?
You can find the small colored cards and envelopes on www.paper-source.com.
Could you provide the website for the colored card and envelope vendor?
I hope to use this idea for my wedding. My colors are pretty standard (pale yellow, ivory and green)
Where can you find envelopes that are so small!? I've only seen much larger ones online
I have a few vendors on line where you can order buk colored cards and envelopes, by their colors are limited (her colors are ivory and shades of pink). Unless I can order from a local invitation maker, we will be using cardstock (cropped) and colored envelopes.
I'd like to know too!
Does anyone know where I can get these items to get this look for my wedding?
