Honoring a Music Legend With Custom Guest Books


Canadian jazz musician Oliver Jones retired last year and gave a farewell concert. I was honored to provide two of my 6x4 Art Deco Advice Books to commemorate the occasion. Concert goers were invited to leave their thoughts and well wishes in the books. 
The notes of appreciation from fans for Mr. Jones's legacy of music and entertainment added a special touch to the celebration.

I love this picture of Oliver Jones holding my guest book! What a treasure it will be for him to read through the notes and know what an impact he had on his fans.

Here is a sample of Oliver Jones' music:

3 Ways a Handmade Guest Book Can Make a Wedding Special

Handmade items can add a personal touch to your themed wedding. As you capture memories from your big day, your guest book will be among the few things you will have as a keepsake.

Here are three reasons to consider a handmade guest book for your wedding.

1. You can have something made which matches your theme and/or colors. Finding an off-the-shelf guest book that matches the theme of your wedding can be frustrating! Choosing handmade will give you options which are more likely to match your theme. Here are just a few examples of themed guest books I make:

Or have something made especially for you. This customer and her fiance are pilots and wanted their guest book covered with aeronautical charts. She sent me the paper and I used it on both the inside and outside covers.

2. You can personalize your book with a name plate or personalized page using whatever text you want. Many couples put their names and the wedding date but some want a favorite scripture or quote also.

3. A handmade guest book offers you flexibility with the pages. Do you want black pages? Fewer lined pages and more photo pages? Or all photo pages for a photo booth? I offer all these options for most of my guest books.

Make your wedding day special with a handmade guest book you will treasure for years to come!
