Fingerprint Guest Book

This is such a weird coincidence. I literally just looked these up on Etsy (I'm recreating one for my day, too).

I think it's relatively straightforward....I'm just going to have the wedding party do it before the reception so people get the idea.

Me too!!! I don't think we're going to do a poem though because people seem to be really confused about the concept ("why would you want us to cover our hands in ink?!"..."no grandma, not cover...just press the pad of your thumb...") so we're just going to have clear instructions.

Glad I'm not alone in this!! @Rae- That is hilarious! haha Let's hope we don't get any handprints on the trees!

Anybody know what kind of ink is best to use?

"leaf your thumbprint and your name" ???

@Rae R. washable chalk ink maybe

You and hubby pick prime spots now, so that your fingers are clean on your wedding day. Have your parents "sign" it now. Have your wedding party do it at the rehearsal??? or first thing when they get to the hall. Just don't want anyone in the wedding party to have colored fingers when you are taking pictures... but it actually Could make a cute picture if you want to do it that day.

My FSIL did that. She just had regular stamp ink (washable) and than had alcohol wipes.

I am just using something simple like this.

Cute idea!!

I'm doing the same thing but instead of doing the fingerprints I'm just going to have guests sign little paper leafs to attach to it

Figured it would cut out some of the mess and confusion!

This is what ours says (included with our purchase from an Etsy vendor)
