Wedding Wish Jar

We decided to have a traditional guestbook and a wedding wish jar.  The glass container was purchased at Hobby Lobby for $12.00 and I had the ribbon left over from another project.

I made the small cards using microsoft word & they are printed on card stock paper.  They say "wedding wishes for the brand new mr. & mrs."  and there is a place for the guest's name at the bottom.

The sign says:


As a brand new mr. and mrs
We sure 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 thoughful, loving  wife
Jot down a memory
A reminder of the 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 the card in the bowl
Without signing your name
Weddings are so much more
Than rings and tossed rice
So grab a pen
And write some advice

I used a 5in by 7in frame from the Dollar Tree and printed the sign on card stock and cut to fit the frame.

* This project went over well at the reception.  A lot of guests filled out "wedding wishes" cards.  We took them with us on our honeymoon and read through them.  We got a lot of sweet responses.
