Hello My Fellow Bride to Bes and Mrs I was thinking of another keepsake H2B and I would want to keep H2B wants a guest book and wants me to personalize it I found a Green Leather Guest Book £49.99 and comes with a free gold or silver plate that we can have our names engraved on and our wedding date for FREE we shall go for silver as Silver goes well with Emerald Green Then my Brilliant idea is different do no know if any other brides have done this before I want to purchase Fake Poison Ivy Vine and I want each of my guests to sign a leaf and put a lil message for me and my H2B to read later and to keep and then I was thinking this could be wrapped round us to signify our Love the Bond we have the joining of us together so this could be wrapped round us during our ceremony so it will Ring Vow, Unity Sand, Ceremony Candle, Ceremony and the Wrapping of our Love ones messages binding us together in front of everyone showing our Love to the world What do you ladies think of my idea too much or just stupid =D X Let me Know

I'm trying to think of every fake flower leaf I've seen in my life and not many would lend to being written on, mostly because it would be hard to read what was written afterwards. You could by some and then experiment, a silver metallic paint pen might just work. An easier thing to do would be to use die cut ivy leaves to write on.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF EVERYONE SIGNING A LEAF BUT NOT SURE ABOUT IT BEING WRAPPED ROUND YOU
not sure it would work during the ceremony as usually the guest book is signed during the reception. but if you could have it as a seperate ceremonial thing and have it wrapped round you after you cut the cake then go straight into the first dance after this so your first dance you are physically joined together, i think this would be quite a nice idea.
you could do it like a pagan handfasting ceremony as an added bit to your reception?
Binding Of Hands (Groom) and (Bride), I bid you look into each others eyes.
Will you honor and respect one another, and seek to never break that honor?
We will [the first cord is draped over the couples' hands] And so the first binding is made.
Will you share each other’s pain and seek to ease it? We will [Second cord is draped over the hands] And so the binding is made
Will you share the burdens of each so that your spirits may grow in this union? We will [third cord is draped over the couples' hands] And so the binding is made.
Will you share each other’s laughter, and look for the brightness in life and the positive in each other? We will. [forth cord is draped over the couples' hands] And so the binding is made.
[Tie cords together]
(Bride) and (Groom), as your hands are bound together now, so your lives and spirits are joined in a union of love and trust. Above you are the stars and below you is the earth. Like the stars you love should be a constant source of light, and like the earth, a firm foundation from which to grow.
(Your right hand & his left hand, wrists together - cord could be your ivy)
However as others have said, it may be hard to write on, could you not use emerald green ribbon and green luggage labels?
Find out who you are & do it on purpose!

All great ideas hun, just work out which ones will work for you on the day :-) We're having messages on pieces of card, maybe hung on a tree or a line, as I can't trust some people not to put something stupid or inappropriate in a guest book, then add the pieces of card to a guest book afterwards. You can do the same with your ivy leaves :-)
Ok, I totally missed the part about wrapping a vine around you as you dance. I'm not really seeing how that will work logistically. There's only so much time during your big day and if you put all your ideas in place you'll spend your entire day doing these planned orchestrated things and you'll miss out on just being with each other and experiencing the day as it comes. I'm definitely for big plans but give yourself time to enjoy your day rather than having to worry constantly about timings and what's happening next.

I Love the hand fastening idea Katya thank you show show h2b that and I will get fake poison ivy leaves to write on test if the writing will stay use permanent sharpie pens and it should stay on permanent ink Will have to discuss all my ideas with our registrar see what I can do and cant do =D ♥ X

I agree with Lala, great idea about signing the leaves but can't see how wrapping it around you would work without someone getting hurt if they trip on it x

CommentAuthorMrsLJDeaton
How will anyone get hurt the leaves are fake and will only be fastened on our hands during the ceremony then taken off and put to the side to be read another day forget the part about having it wrapped round us on our 1st dance that is a crazy wild idea that just popped into my head I have a weird ideas and imagination X

There are a couple of things I'd be concerned about. Firstly that people wouldn't want to take the time to dig through the leaves to find one they can write on. Also what if the want to write something that takes up more than one leaf? I'd also be concerned about being able to read them latter and storage of the ivy.
I think you could modify this idea by using die cut leaves in your wedding colours and then have the guests attach them to a length of string to create a garland of leaves. You could then attach the leaves to a guest book or keep them in a keepsake box.
CommentAuthorMrsLJDeaton
When you say dye cut leaves are they real leaves or fake wont real one dies?? Some of my firends write big like Imani and whenever she writes me a card or message its always an essay maybe two leaves each will hopefully be enough will my guests be that picky on what leaf to write on ?? =D ♥ X

Die cut is a method of cutting shapes in paper - it's used in scrap booking, card making, general crafts. It's a method of creating uniform shapes in paper without having to trace and cut. There are also large paper punches that can be made to make leaf cut outs.
CommentAuthorMrsLJDeaton
So I just cut out the shape of a poison ivy leaf and they write on the card and attach it t the guest book talking to H2B about this now shall tell you what we decide =D ♥ X

Instead of this have you seen those fingerprint trees? My friend had one and it was lovely. Basically you buy a print of a tree without any leaves on it and your guests create the leaves with their fingerprints using the paint pads that come with the print. You end up with a full tree picture that you can frame. Guests can also sign their name on their leaf. There are loads on the bay of e
