The Puma and I pondered for a while on what was the purpose of a guestbook. Woohoo, a big book where people sign their name and give you well wishes and/or marriage advice.
....
Seriously? What kind of fun is that? We would look through it maybe once. Maybe. Then is should sit on one of the many bookcases, collect dust, and never be opened again. Or perhaps stored away to never be seen again until we move.
We looked at alternates. Thumbprints, polaroids, even a Fill in the Calendar with birthdates. None of them seemed like "us." Then came Pinterest to the rescue. Came across this pin called Can of Dates. The idea is that each guest fills in a card with a date idea and signs their name. Puma and I will have a set date night for each week, and we will pull a card from the can to use. This way we wont be stuck in a rut, and we can have a blast doing the selected date and being amused by the friend who wrote it. Sure, some people may have more than one idea. We made extra cards :D
