Winter weddings are becoming so popular! Here is my "something DIY" for my wedding! Planning a wedding is a big endeavor and with all of the little details to think about, adding a DIY project to the list may seem a little daunting. However, this wedding guest book alternative is so simple and easy and I love that you can display the jar in your home after the wedding! I found the glass jar and picture frame at Goodwill and since I already had card stock, twine, and paint markers, the entire project cost less than $10.00. Another great thing about the advice jar is that you’ll get some wonderful (or quite entertaining) advice from your family and friends that you can read after your wedding or even at your one-year anniversary!
Supplies needed:
Directions:
To finish the look, I used a faux flower bouquet from Eco Flower, but you can also ask your wedding florist to display some real flowers next to the advice jar as well. Again, this project is super easy and cost-effective. Your guests will have fun filling these out and you’ll be able to preserve these messages for a long time. Don’t forget, you can customize this so that it matches the vibe of your wedding so brainstorm different ways you can make it unique to you!
