Retro Twist to the Guestbook

Vintage Typewriter as your Guestbook

Martha Stewart comes with the most genius ideas!  In the latest Martha Stewart Weddings she spotlights the Typewriter Guestbook.

If you are a bride that wants to infuse your wedding with a bit of retro flair, then go ahead and play to type. Let friends and loved ones put their well wishes on paper with the recognizable click and clack of an old fashioned typewriter.  You’ll find inexpensive vintage machines online or at thrift stores or flea markets; they come in colors to go with any palette. After the wedding, roll the sheet into a scroll and keep it as a memento, then go back and read it whenever nostalgia strikes.

Adding to that idea you could pick up unique papers to type on from scrapbooking stores and create a unique coffee table keepsake where you can actually read guests well wishes without trying to decode handwriting skills!

If you are an artistic type, paint or add unique monograms or details to your typewriter to put your own style into it!
