Re: Those who did the wish bowl..

the one i posted is a martha stewart wishbowl. it's basically just like a guestbook. people write messages/advice for the couple and put it into the bowl at the reception. then you get to read them later

I had this written:

'Please leave us a note,
please drop us a line,
add advice on marriage,
to stand the test of time.'

I can't remember it exactly, it was similar to Teri's but mentioned us reading the notes on the plane to Europe. I think I got it on weddingchannel.com
we also had an attendant during cocktail hour.

That is a cute idea! I never saw that before. You could take the notes and make a scrap book after!

I love this idea. I have never heard of it myself, but really think I might just do this. What a great way to spend your airflight to the honeymoon location reading these.

Where did everyone get the paper for these???
Did you just cut up regular size paper?

Did anyone use envelopes for the notes?

Re: Those who did the wish bowl..

I think Martha Stewart's website sells that bowl, but it's pricey - $75 I think

edited to add: I bought the cards and envelopes at Michaels. I also bought a small heart stamp and ink and decorated each card with a small heart to dress it up a little
