Wish Bowl

What exactly is this? Who has done it and how did it turn out?

Here is ours...we printed a poem and cut paper to put into heart basket. Once filled out, they were placed in the vase to the right.

I bought a regular scrap book and I plan on just mounting each on of them into the book, with our other wedding keepsakes.

I just hope people will actually use the wishbowl

Here's an idea to consider:

Kolo makes some really nice albums and you could take the cards and attach 1-2 per page with a few pics from the shower/wedding. So you could make a cute album using the cards.

As far as the wish bowl - it really is a cute idea. Your guest share words of advice or wishes for you on cards and place them in a vase or bowl (whatever you want). It's great to look back later at the things they have said. Very simple to do but priceless in terms of memories.

I am doing this too. I am taking the wishes afterward and scrapbooking them with the disposable camera pics. Here is a pic of the one I made. The wish cards are the all purpose tickets from Gartner Studios (uprint.com)

Girls that have done this:
What sort of directions did you leave on the table, any cute poem or saying?

I have a cute poem that I did but it's at home. I took a little from each of the following and made a new one. But these are good too...just as they are:


Weddings are more than just rings and tossed rice
In leiu(sp?) of a geustbook we ask for well wishes and advice
So grab a pen and paper, write what you wish
Just remember to sign your name before putting it in the dish
_____________

As we begin our journey –
A brand new Mr. and Mrs.
We surely could use
Your advice and good wishes.

Share with us your wisdom
About marriage love and life
The secret to being a good husband
Or a top notch, first rate wife

Jot down a memory,
A reminder of our day.
A doodle or picture will do
If you don't know what to say.

Please don't forget –
It would be such a shame
Don't drop your card in the bowl
Without signing your name.

Whatever you pen,
We're sure to treasure
Long after this day has passed,
Your words will bring us pleasure

__________

Along with your Name
Please Write Thoughts and Wishes
to the New Mr. and Mrs.
______________

From each of your experiences,
Comes a very treasured gift,
a piece of knowledge,
we didn't know exists.

Please share with us your wisdom,
about marriage, love, and life,
How to be a loving husband,
or the perfect wife.

Please write your
Thoughts and gestures,
to share with us for life,
for the greatest gift of all,
is the gift of your advice.
