Q. I would love to have “wish cards” at my reception (in which guests write down congratulatory advice and wishes for the couple), but my friends have tried them at their weddings and didn’t get much of a response from guests. Is there a better way to tease out more participation?
A. Even shy guests will have trouble resisting Write On Riot’s creative fill-in-the-blank wish cards.
Owners Rob and Debbie Dalton, who are based in Minneapolis, created the cards to place on reception tables at their daughter’s wedding in place of a guest book. Every card has prompts such as, “On this special day I wish for you enough ____ to last a lifetime” or “I wish for you a relationship like the one between ____ and ____.”
“Couples are fascinated by what guests will say about them,” says Rob. “The prompts help them express something they know about the couple, and the bride and groom love reading the cards.” The reaction at his daughter’s reception was great: “It was probably the least expensive addition, but had the greatest impact.”
Write On Riot’s reception wish cards are available in four designs, with three color options, available in 25-card packs.
