Not sure what this will look like yet.. I'd love to hand this off to someone! Basically, we would like to have some sort of creative scrapbooky thing that guests can participate in, and the bride and groom can review for nostalgic value years after the event.
One idea involved Cupcake wisdom, where words are written on cards and guests are invited to tell a story about how that word has been relevant in their life or relationship. (It can be used as an indirect way for some people to offer advice.) The words may be fortitude, grace, compassion, forgiveness, etc. We may decorate the tables with these words, to keep the theme going.
Polaroid cameras might be fun, and guests could write messages on the back of their pictures. Any other ideas?

I got card stock for Cupcake Blessings and "Message to the Couple". I got more origami paper for the cranes. I'm still working on how to hang them. I plan on buying a polariod camera in the next week or two, with additional film, and getting some sharpie markers. I'm not sure how much polaroid cameras go for, but I'd like to get two.

Hey T -
Alright I finally got the chance to blog. I think one of the most amazing gifts that Kristian and I recieved from our wedding was the special notes that people wrote to us. We had made special half sheets of paper and left them on the tables that way everyone could take the time to write something at their convience. It would be an awesome but expensive idea to include polaroids with notes- you do want to consider that if you ever want to collect them all in a book or something you do not want a picture on the front and a note on the back. Hmm - I will think some more about how to do this with the jive of the rest of your wedding.
Yeah, I was thinking of something along those lines, too. The Cupcake Blessings had that in mind, giving guests the opportunity to share stories. I would like to have a polaroid present as well, and I agree that I would rather not have a message on the back!!
