I just had a cute idea(at least i think it's cute). Instead of a guest book, i'm having my guests sign a photo mat. In the center of the mat, i can fit an 8x10 photo. I was obviously going to put a picture of my fiance and i in that but i wanted a little caption at the bottom that read something like this....
2 Yahoo Personals accounts.....$149.90
1 Diamond ring........................... $350.00
Getting married 3 years later....priceless
I want to definantly keep the first and the last caption, but i can't think of anything else to go in the middle. Is diamond ring ok? What do you all think??? What would you put in the middle? Thanks bunches!!
I marry my sweetie October 20 07

Yea absolutely. If i do this, it will be on a removable card and not permanantly afixed to the mat

Thanks everyone! I think you're all right. I'll still stick with the idea but i won't put the prices of anything in it.

I think your iea is cute but I don't know if I would put the 'diamond ring' one, especially at $350! what about using something like the cost of dates..
2 yahoo personsal accounts: $149
First date at (what ever you did) : $??.00
Engagemnet at (where did he propose?): $ ??.00
Marrying your soul mate: priceless
i just wouldn't want to put the cost of any part of the wedding in there.. whether the price is real or made up.. Weddings can be a bit political and relativescan be very catty behind your back. Expample: If you put $350 for a ring someone willhave something to say about it when their daughter gets engaged about how it is so much better than yours and how could they only spend that much. Yet if you put $10,000 it be all about how you just want people to knowhow much money you or your fiance have. It is a no win situation! I just feel like putting the cost of things fo the actual wedding could lead peole to talk abou tyou behind your back. you could also try something like time instead of price.
Chatting on yahoo personals: 2 months
dinner, movies and new adventures;2.5 years
engagement: 9 months
marrying your souldmate: timeless
obviously, fill what you want and the right times.
Hope this helps!

Sounds good, but think I would put the caption on a card that could be removed later. Or maybe just put the caption on a card that can be laid near the photo mat?
The caption is great for now . . . but I truthfully think that 15 or 20 or 25 years from now . . . the caption will date the photo too much. Twenty-five years from now, will people look at it and say, "Oh, yeah. Those old commercials." ???
A really classic wedding photo can be timeless. Personally, I would want to go for the timeless look. But that is just my opinion.

i say alot of good ideas were said my sister did something like that at her wedding but also she asked all the bridal guests if they had a photo with that family if they can bring in a copy if not it was ok and she got three large poster paper and one was pics of her and guests and they were able to sing it and with him and the guest an they signed it and the third was photos they might have had with the both and she later got them framed and at home did a 4th poster much smaller and it goes something like this
32 flights to Florida and Rhode island 3,000.00
our first date 34.00.
getting engaged 1,000.00
spending time with everyone we love
on our wedding day........................................priceless
my sis has a large home and has it hanging in her fomral living room and also she added snap shots on the 4th of her wedding day with guests and she was able to get a photo of all the guests together with her an her husband

it's a cute idea.
if you don't care that ppl know the price of the ring that's fine to leave in, but i would word it engagement ring...
maybe put in sleepless nights being excited about popping the question
you can do like the one poster suggested... dates totaled
or engagement dinner cost or ....

that is a cool idea..except for naming the prics of the ring..DONT include that! That's noones business first of all..second of all..350 sounds so cheap and tacky...people are going to laugh when they hear that..no offense I would..don't include that part

I would probably put something about the dates in the middle. . . . 74 dinners and a movie. . . . . . . $1,587 or something about the proposal. . . . . 1 proposal at Leo's Restaurant. . . . . $450 .
Good luck and congrats!

Perhaps something like
2 tickets to "Some Movie".....
I think putting how much he paid for your engaement ring really isn't appropriate.
