How to create a vintage 1940's style guest book on a budget for your wedding!!

When I was starting to plan my wedding, nothing could have been better for me then to add my favorite decade to the special date.  After a wedding which was created with a 1940s flare.. I couldn't help but keep it going into the reception and guest book.

When I think of retro or even the 1940s, I almost always think of those elegant hotel desks, with the dark wood and slots for mail.  I loved the feel of the old keys in my hand as well, and how they looked hanging on a board waiting for the guest. 

So when I was thinking of guest book ideas.. the only perfect match for me was this idea of making my guest book like a hotel registration desk from the 40's. 

Step 1 Supplies..

Blank Library Cards
Library Pockets
Folding desk
Hotel key board
Philosophy key chains
OR Retro key tags depending the decade you're representing
vintage hotel keys
Instant Camera
chalk boards
service bell

To add that special touch.. personalized rubber stamps and signs to say just what you want them to say.
