Leave a Note for Us on Our *Blank* Anniversary

Audrey, on May 3, 2017 at 4:52 PM Posted in Style and Décor 1 18

Hi all! So my plan for our tables is to have people leave us a note for the anniversary that corresponds with their table number. I'm going to buy these cards and leave some of them at each table -- I think people will like it and I know I will love getting to read them. I'm struggling with how to get this idea across. I've picked out our table numbers already, and I don't want to crowd the table with more instructional signs. Is there anyone who has done this in the past, and if so, how did you let people know what you were asking for?

    Can you have the instructions printed on the back of each card and just leave them at each guests seat?

    Maybe have a quick note on top of the stack at each table? "Write us a note to open on our ___ anniversary!"

    One of my best friends did something similar with messages in a bottle for their 1, 5, and 10 year anniversaries. They had SO much fun opening the messages on their first anniversary! They said there were some really funny ones and some unexpectedly sweet messages - the sister of the bride (and MOH) wrote out her reception toast and put it in the 1 year bottle!

    Hmm, as a guest I might be a little confused what to write for the further away anniversaries. Like, I don't know what to leave as a note for a 10 year anniversary 10 years in the future.

    We had something similar to this, where we asked people to add to our bucket list with an index card and had a bucket on each table for them to put it in. We used a steel bucket with a chalkboard cut out where it had instructions for this.

    Obviously this is different than your idea, but something similar might work for you.

    I'm not a fan of asking your guests to work at your reception. I believe it's best to just let them eat, drink dance and enjoy.

    If you feel you must give them a task, consider doing it when they arrive before the ceremony. They'll be sober and more likely to give you coherent comments.

    I actually really love this idea! I'm not usually a fan of "leave a note" type of things but this is a good one IMO.
