The Guests Get Creative

Obviously, our wedding has a bit of a whimsical theme interlaced throughout the vintage and Southern and garden decor. We tried to get the guests on board with the whimsy with a little message in our invitations. You see, the bottom of the response card read, “Please use the reverse side of this card to provide marriage advice, whimsical doodles, flattering caricatures and/or well wishes!” The back of the card was blank. We have now received about a third of our RSVPs, and the entertainment only continues!

We received a special response card in the mail today…from none other than Sister Lioness, who designed the invitations in the first place! Sister Lioness lives in NYC, and her boyfriend lives in Florida. I sent one invitation addressed to both of them, and Sister Lioness informed me that they planned to open it “together” via Skype.

Their response card included a YouTube link, so I’ll let the video do the talking from here. You really should watch the whole thing because they are hilaaarious. But, if you only have a couple of minutes, skip to about 7:25. That’s when you can really start to see the wheels turning inside Sister Lioness’ head!

They weren’t kidding, either:

That reminds me, Lioness guests. The other 2/3 of you? You’ve got two more weeks to get those RSVPs in! So, yeah!

We’ll have to do something fun with the backs of these cards, but what? Any ideas?

If you haven’t thought of ideas for your guestbook - I’d say your RSVPs have to be worked in. Let me paint you the picture: say you’re looking at an open guestbook, on the left (or right side) are a collage of RSVPs and on the opposite side are lines for your guests to sign and perhaps write more well wishes. Almost like a guestbook scrapbook.

You’ll have everyone’s signature and their well wishes in the same place. It will also provide entertainment for anyone signing.

Miss Lioness, one word - BRILLIANT! I’m looking at invite suites now that are offering one-sided RSVP postcards. I didn’t know what to do with that blank side…monogram graphic? Your idea is so great, put it on the guests to decide how to fill it. Thanks for sharing

You could make a scrapbook or even just bind them somehow in a little mini book of just these. A little lamination and chipboard covers would do it right up!
