Engagement Party Guestbook/Postcards

For our engagement party, we wanted to include elements from where we got engaged - Seattle. While we were up there on our trip, we collected vintage postcards from various places we visited. Then it hit us - what better way to have people leave us a note, than on a postcard! We did some research, and found LanternPress.com. They are a wholesale printer, so we had to clear the order over the phone before they would fill it. Once we did though, we got our order printed and to the house within a week. Here are the designs we chose below...

We used the postcards as invitations, and took the leftover postcards and used them for the guestbook. For the invitations, I adjusted the printer settings so it would print out horizontal, and within the border of the postcards. For the guestbook/postcards, I had a small table in the entryway: We had the blank postcards in a basket along with some pens, and used one of those wire photo holders to hold a postcard with instructions. My future sister-in-law used her craftiness to decorate a chalkboard with some more instructions. (as you can see in the photo) :)


Here are some links to help you make your own postcard guestbook table.
