Needless to say, a wedding guest book is a great way to look back and think about the guests with whom you shared terrific moments on your wedding day.

Conventionally, what happens is – a station is organized where guests write a sweet note for the couple. However, this method is too mainstream, as once the wedding is over, these guest books rest on the bookshelf for years to come. This is not the best way to remember your memorable day. This is where the concept of personalizing the wedding guestbooks comes into the picture.

Are you a travel junkie? How about asking your guests to write the messages on a world globe? Or, if you are a home decorating enthusiast, you can ask your wedding guests to write their well-wishes on a wood panel which can then be used as a centerpiece and then as a seat for your backyard swing.

Best Practices to Obtain Guest-Book Participation

1. Make your guest-book choice match your needs

We detailed some of the coolest ways through which you can ask your guests to write well-wishes for you. However, it is easy to get confused amid so many options. So, what is the best way out there?

The easiest way to make a choice is to keep your priorities in mind. Do you want something that is compact and can be easily kept in a drawer? Or, do you want something that can become an artistic piece inside your home?

2. Provide everything that your guests might need to sign the guest-book

There is nothing worse than running out of supplies. Thus, ensure that you have enough pens in different colors, cards, and other supplies.

Further, provide clear instructions so that there is no confusion. After all, writing well wishes should be a smooth and comfortable experience for your guests.

3. Set up a special area for your guest-book

Regardless of the format you choose, you do not want your guests to go without signing your guestbook. Your guests should easily find the guest book. Thus, make sure that you designate a focal location that everyone will see as they enter the wedding location. Then it is also highly recommended that you determine the layout of your reception by keeping the guestbook placement in mind so that your guests do not miss it.

One great idea would be to place it next to your wedding cake to be easily seen. However, if you do not want to set up a special area for this, it is recommended to put someone in charge who would make sure that the wedding guest-book moves smoothly between the guests.

4. Look at your guest-book after the wedding

So now that the wedding is over, review your wedding guest book. Make sure you take enough time with your spouse and have a look at what your guests have said for you. Some comments maybe so meaningful that you would like to thank your wedding guest writer.

We hope that this article highlighted some of the best alternatives to wedding guest-books. If you feel traditional wedding guest books are a bit too mainstream, it is the time to embrace your creativity and make use of some of the artistic guestbook styles we discussed above.

Although, the DIY approach is fun and cost friendly, but can prove to be a big headache at the last moment. You might already be managing a lot of things – from fitting your dress to entertaining out of town guests. So, this is when ready-to-customize wedding books which you can order online can come to your rescue. You will not need to invest a lot of time for these options. Just browse, select and order!

Surprising an office staff with a unique and lasting gift.

One of our regular customers recently made his office staff happy by giving each female member of his office staff a gold dipped rose. He selected each staff member's favorite color for the rose petals. Mark said that the recipients were not only pleased with the gorgeous roses, but they were also impressed with the designer gift box, stretchy ribbon and bow, and the certificate of authenticity inside. This card explains how a real rose is preserved with lacquer and trimmed or dipped in 24 karat gold so that it will last a lifetime.
One of the young women said,
“I love, love, love it!"

Her co-worker declared,
“This gold rose is so beautiful, I am keeping mine on my desk so I can look at it all day long.” 

While another staffer was amazed that you can see the intriguing vein detail in the delicate petals and leaves. And the rose stems still have their thorns even after they are dipped in 24 karat gold. 

Having a go-to gift for important occasions that you know they will love.

Ed states that his wife looks forward to getting a new rose for Valentine's Day and her birthday. He adds a new color to her collection each year which she displays in a cut crystal vase on an end table in her gal cave. His wife loves the range of pastel and vibrant colors available. She is also excited that her roses will last for years.

While Paul reports,
“I sent a purple gold trimmed rose to my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Her entire office went crazy over the gift. Now I send her a new gold trimmed rose every month just to keep up my reputation and popularity with my fiancee. Her friends were impressed with the gift boxed presentation, the rose beauty and the longevity of each rose.” 

Another husband reported that his wife was always sad when her roses aged so they both love the gold dipped roses as an alternative. He adds,
“Now instead of watching roses wilt in a few days, she keeps these roses on her nightstand all year. They are so elegant, I find her staring at them and smiling when she doesn't know I am looking. You cannot ask for more reward from a gift at this price” 

Recording important life events with messages on petals. 

You can order a new baby rose in any birthstone color and add the details of your child's birth to mark this important occasion. Here is what a new mom said about the rose she received after her daughter was born.
“Words cannot express how awesome this gift was when I opened the package to see a rose in the color of my new daughter's birthstone with my baby's name and birth date engraved on the petal. At first, I didn't even realize that this was an actual rose until I read the certificate of authenticity. It is incredible that they can cut a living rose, preserve it and trim it in gold to make it look like this is astonishing!”

Every basket needs a useful container of some sort, the items you are including in your gift collection, and the materials to decorate the basket. Beyond that, let your creativity take over! Here are some ideas to help you make your own Barbeque Gift Baskets.

1. The Beginner’s BBQ Kit

For everyone who enjoys a good barbecue but does not have the materials to master the skill, here is your opportunity to throw together a kit for them.
Personalized BBQ Tool Set and Case

Start with a useful container such as a galvanized bucket, a tub or an insulated cooler (they can later use this to cool their beverages), or picnic basket and then add the basic tools needed to cook.

These utensils can include things like long handled spatulas, brushes, and wood handled tongs. Throw in a personalized apron and some kitchen towels with a sports team they like or a design that you know they will appreciate. Be sure to remember the potholder! Even better to top off your gift, add an outdoor cooking recipe book. And don't forget a corkscrew or bottle opener.

Now seal the basket with decorative cellophane wrap. You might even add a bow or tie your gift closed with red and white checkered napkins!

What is so great about a BBQ gift basket is that it makes a handy way of having all the grilling needs in one place so they are ready to go outside when you are ready to light the grill.

2. Personalize A Barbecue Basket Just For Them

Thoughtful Housewarming Gifts Your Friends Will Actually Use

Choosing a housewarming gift is no easy feat. You want to give a recipient who is moving to a new home something that will actually be put to good use. At the same time, you also don’t want your gift to be too mundane. And while gift cards may always seem like the easy choice, you may want to rethink this option since according to Market Watch one billion dollars worth go unused each year.
Rather, find a housewarming gift that’s the perfect combination of high-quality, thoughtful, and useful. What does this look like? You do not need to spend a lot to make new homeowners owners feel welcome or to congratulate a friend on moving to their first apartment. Check out these suggestions that are as charming as they are functional.

Cloth Napkins Make An Elegant Housewarming Gift.

While cloth napkins may not seem like anything special, they make a great housewarming gift. Cloth napkins are super useful and instantly make meal times seem fancier. Just imagine how much using elegantly monogrammed cloth napkins would add to your mood when you’re living out of boxes during the first few weeks. Your recipient will love using them and will appreciate receiving such a practical and stylish gift they probably wouldn’t have thought to get for themselves. When it comes to material, go with linen which has natural antibacterial properties and it gets softer after washing. Then add a family initial or monogram to personalize your gift. Every hostess will tell you that they can never have enough napkins. Ultimately, you want to choose a beautiful napkin set that complements your recipient’s decor taste.

Say Welcome with Housewarming Gift Baskets.

Nothing says “congratulations!” like a beautiful gift basket brimming with gourmet goodies. Fruit gift baskets are a perfect choice — particularly ones featuring tropical or exotic fruits that are healthy snack packed with vitamins and antioxidants. These gifts can be received by new homeowners the same day they are ordered. They are hand delivered and arranged by a local florist.
You can even add in a few treats like chocolate, cookies, or a bottle of wine or champagne for celebrating their new home. Top your selection off with some meats and crackers which will come in handy if the new homeowners are not cooking at home yet. Gifts of wine may delight the new homeowners after a hard day of moving and unpacking. Or you could decide to give a housewarming gift basket filled with helpful items such as kitchen or shop tools. You could fill a useful container such as a bucket or toolbox with other useful things like household tools or gardening supplies. And the good news is that if your friend or family member moved away to a different town you can still send them a wonderful housewarming gift. Just shop online! At Arttowngifts.com we feature both hand-delivered fruit and gourmet baskets and practical gifts such as our BBQ gift baskets or a garden gift.

Give New Homeowners A Family Name Sign or Welcome Plaque

Family Initial Sign Est Date
Our most popular housewarming gift is a family last name sign. One style is a painted family name sign that features their last name with either a welcoming inspirational quote or the family member's names. Another custom family sign version starts with a rustic stained pallet board that features a monogram or an initial along with the family's last name.
If the new family loves their new home state then consider ordering a state silhouette sign with their family name. The latest current trend in family wall art is the architectural photo name matted and framed print where a family name is spelled out in photos of letter designs.

Make Moving Easier with A Return Address Stamp or Return Address Labels

Once moved in, new homeowners have to go through the arduous process of informing their friends and family of their new address — one responsibility on top of many.

You can help them out by giving them something to make the job easier and a lot more fun. A self-inking personalized return address stamp is a thoughtful gift that’s bound to get a lot of use. You can even include a stack of “I’ve moved” postcards to round-out the gift and make it even more practical. Custom address labels are also convenient and economical. Whether you choose an address stamp or labels create a custom design with one of the many design wizards available online. And as a bonus, your friend will think of you every time they send a letter! There’s no need to settle for dull and boring housewarming gifts when there are so many clever and useful options out there. Anyone of these gifts is bound to delight the lucky recipient. Which one will you choose to help new owners celebrate their new home?
