i did the martha stewart wishbowl and it was a hit. i got some great advice and tips and wishes. i love reading them.
I bought a cheap vase and decorated it with a ribbon.
My friend made up a poem for it and I framed that next to the wishbowl.
Then I just bough plain notecards and decorated them with a stamp.
and Voila, it was a hit

BTW, I also did the traditional guestbook on the other side of the table.
here are some ideas of poems for the wishbowl, and the one i actually used:
1)'Share your advice with Tanya and Troy, For a blissful marriage full of Joy'.
2)'Please leave us a note,
please drop us a line,
add advice on marriage,
to stand the test of time.'
3)'Instead of a guestbook stuck in a drawer, Jen and Bill thought they would do more. Please write them a note, a wish, or greeting. On the plane to San Juan, it will make for good reading! Or if you prefer, some advice would be nice, on how to stay married and keep the spice
I sent those to my friend and this is what she came up with (and what I used)
- Congrats to the Newlyweds & Welcome to their wishbowl
- They are officially now two bodies with just one soul
- Now grab a pen, make a wish and help them out
- Let them know what love and marriage is all about
- Give them advice laughs and more....
- maybe theyll listen and see whats in store
- Thoughts, experience and wisdom will do..
- Help make their lives a dream come true
- Now close your eyes, smile and make a wish!
- Write away and drop it in the bowl or dish!
I just formatted and printed it nicely and framed it .. i loved it!
