Guestbook Storage

Danielle, on March 7, 2020 at 1:19 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 10
We are getting married on October 30th 2020 and Money has been tight for us. For awhile now I have been browsing through guest books with the heart drop frame and everything I wanted was a little more than I wanted to pay. Tonight I found one for about $40 that I feel I would be pretty happy with and for our engagement party last fall I got a 25$ Amazon gift card I haven’t used yet and so I’m debating on if I should order it now so And using the gift card so I’m paying less than I originally wanted to and the reviews and pictures looked good and everything. I want to order it now so it’s one less thing I have to worry about financially when the time comes and this month my bridesmaid is having her wedding and I need to get a dress to wear to hers and a gift and a few other things so after March I really have to get into gear on saving money for stuff we need. So my question is.... how long can a heart drop frame that comes with the hearts and box for the hearts and the stand as well as a regular guest book and 5x7 picture frame? I’m worried if I order it now it may get gross sitting in a box for like 6 months but it would be one major thing I need for the wedding that I wouldn’t have to worry about!

    Danielle,

    I can’t imagine that leaving it in the box would effect anything! If anything, is just say that you make sure to air it out before use.

    Thanks for your post! It’s just cute I hope it works out well!

    I can't understand how keeping it in a box could possibly damage it unless the box is exposed to the elements. I'm sure they sit in shipping boxes at stores and warehouses for long periods of time.

    Honestly it will sit in a box for the next 6 months at the warehouse anyway. Just open it when it arrives to make sure it is is perfect condition then put it back in the box. It’s cute though.

    That’s what I was kinda thinking anyways and then that gives me enough time If anything is damaged or what not to return it and stuff and it’s definitely cute and one of the better deals!

    As long as the box isn't in a damp moldy basement, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

    There’s absolutely no reason it can’t sit in a box. Just keep the box in a dry place, water damage would be the only thing I can think of that would damage it

    I think it will be fine leaving it in the box until your wedding. Unless the box gets wet, or anything crazy happens, I don't see anything wrong with that. Honestly, I found it best for my wedding to buy things as I found them or felt like I needed to get them. Yes, I had three containers of décor and other things for the wedding that I had to take to the venue with me, but because I purchased things as I saw them and stored them properly, it really limited the last minute things I had to buy the week of my wedding and even the day before the wedding.

    I ordered it and with my gift card I ended up paying only like a little under $15 out of my own pocket and originally I wanted it engraved and all that and stuff and that ranges around 50-60$ or more and doesn’t always include some of the stuff needed which you have to buy separate. We have been planning for a year April 30th so we have a lot of the major stuff like our venue which included a lot and we have a dj booked and photographer and videographer, my mom paided off my basic flowers and anything I upgraded will come out of pocket and we just basically have the major stuff down but I’m extremely picky so it’s been difficult choosing and a few nights ago I actually started bending and realizing that some stuff may have to be more “basic” then I wanted and so when I was really drawn to it I was like you and was like hmm... There’s some stuff I need to pay for that my mom isn’t and so I’ve had to re think like what is most important and the more I can knock off for things needed then I know how much I have to work with for bridal party gifts and all that other stuff that adds up. I wanted a crescent moon necklace for my wedding necklace and last night my FH gave me a gift which worked out perfect because I think it’s perfect for my wedding and it also is one less thing I have to buy since I was not having anything other then a silver crescent moon necklace since silver is one of our colors Guestbook Storage 2

    So I did end up buying it! Everything looked fine. There’s a few spots that need to be touched up on the wood but we are probably painting that and the picture frame a silver or black color. After checking out everything I put it back in the box and put it in the closet. The FH said we will check On it every couple of months to make sure nothing like humidity gets to it until the fall when it’s closer to the wedding!!!
