    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."...

    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...

    A typewriter guest book is a fun twist on the traditional pen-and-paper routine and gives guests an interactive way to leave words of wisdom. Set up your typewriter on a side table with a note instructing guests to leave their typed thoughts (and, don’t forget the spare paper!). There are many kinds of typewriters you can find out there (just search garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, and of course, ebay) but this blue one has stolen our hearts:image spotted via project wedding // via beth helmstetter events xo -E....

    Sometimes a note of nostalgia can be a nice addition to a wedding stationery suite. I've always been fond of old typewriters, and I think that using a typewriter -- or a font that's inspired by real type-written notes -- could be a lovely way to design a more casual wedding invitation suite. Above is a valentine that a friend gave me a few years ago. She used a typewriter to print her message on small index cards, then clipped them together with a red paperclip. I think this idea of spreading your message out between multiple cards could be a sweet save-the-date idea. And remember these? I l...

    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...

    The thing I love most about vintage typewriters has to be, hands down, that satisfying ding of the return bell ... The sound alone conjurs up so many great images from the past ... busy, chattering newsrooms before deadline, an oak-paneled college library filled with co-eds and coffee ... or my favorite, a sweetheart carefully typing out a secret love letter to his beautiful bride-to-be.What's not to love, right? That's why I get so excited to see more and more couples including these gorgeous relics of the past in their weddings either as guestbook stations or just as fabulous decor.Let's tak...
