    Guest Book Idea: I love this idea from Emmy and Kirk's wedding featured on A Practical Wedding! "We collected vintage Olivetti-Underwood typewriters so we used one of them as our guestbook. We provided large index cards for folks to type on and my dad made a box out of dark walnut that we used as a rolodex to file them."...

    I am a writer, so naturally I love typewriters. Yes, I am grateful for word processing (I rely heavily on ‘delete’), but I can’t help but be nostalgic for the past. I like the idea of using the typewriter as a guest book for weddings. Typewriters are so photogenic – plus it’s a walk down memory lane for some of your older guests. The wedding + typewriter trend seems to be still alive and well. BTW, Craigslist and Kijiji are both great sources for vintage typewriters. Here are some of my fave shots: Photo: Stephanie Williams Photography Photo: Sakura Photography Photo: Q Weddi...

    I just cant get enough of them. I scour ebay and other sites for them non-stop and I can never decide on the right one. The colors are sooooo amazing: pink, blue, steel gray. Or do I want a black one?! The answer to me is clear - one of each. So perfect for a guest sign in, as another detail to look fabulous in the background or even at home. You decide...Photos Found via Ann Wade Parrish, You Look Nice Today Photography, Poetic Home...

    I would absolutely love a proper vintage typewriter and have promised myself I'm going to get one this year.  Not to use, I hasten to add, but simply to admire for it's beauty.  I have visions of it sat on the corner of my desk, next to my battered little notebook (that goes with me everywhere) and vase of fresh spring flowers - I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic like that.  I recall learning to type on a little plastic typewriter that my parents got me for Christmas as a child.  I remember feeling all excited at the prospect of having to change the ribbon and buying myself a fr...

    Looking for an alternative to the traditional guest book? For a unique, vintage touch, consider setting out an old typewriter where guests can leave messages for the newlyweds. After the wedding, the pages can be woven together into a keepsake booklet, or framed in the happy couple's home. Your guests will get a kick out of this creative twist-- and typewriters are surprisingly photogenic!  To make this adorable detail a reality, check out craigslist or eBay to find a vintage typewriter (make sure it's functioning!). Then set out recycled, rustic looking sheets of paper and a hand...

    I think you all know how much I love manual typewriters by now and I'm pleased as punch to share another lovely for sale with you today! I found this little sugar in an antique shop along the Mississippi Sound and after falling in love with its greenish-blue colouring, I fell even harder when I discovered its irresistible flowing cursive font {see below and swoon!}. I felt a styled seaside-inspired shoot was in order for my new Olivetti friend .... I was imagining a guestbook table set up beneath a white tent on the sand with the sound of the waves crashing in the distance ...
