ALTERNATIVE TO A SIGNATURE BOOK

This was one of the ideas from my sister's wedding. Instead of a signature book, that would be put away and possibly forgotten about, they did a Fingerprint Tree that will be framed and hang in their new home.

This would work equally as well for an engagement party, a 21st, just about any occassion really.


We purchased the base image from Parties and Gifts of the tree trunk and the Bride and Groom's names and had it printed on 160gsm card stock (make sure not to use a gloss finish as the fingerprints won't work properly)


We purchased an stamping pad with a range of green tones that guests used to leave their mark.
Most people found the pointer finger worked best. And then they wrote their name near the "leaf".


Some handy ideas; Baby wipes for people to wipe off the ink from their fingers and have on hand some Scrap bits of paper for people to practice on.

We put ours out during the cocktail hour, and positioned it near the entry, so everyone had to walk past it to go inside, that way we made sure everyone left their mark.
