OK. So you’ve got your lovely photo guest book in front of you. You’ve tried your Fuji Instax camera and you know how it works – you’ve even had a trial run and taken the obligatory picture of your Dad who just happened to be standing nearby. What else do you need to think about?
Parker Pen from www.internet-ink.co.uk
Well, the obvious thing you need is a pen. Ideally you’d have a pen with archival quality ink. For laymen like you and me, that simply means that the ink won’t fade – it’s the sort that is used to fill the pens in your registrars office (so you’ll be signing your Marriage Certificate with one). However it’s quite tricky to find this type of ink and not everyone likes using a traditional fountain pen as they can be a bit ’scratchy’.
You can buy special ‘guest book signing’ pens, however these are generally large feathery quill like things – not my cup of tea at all. In reality any type of pen will do as long as it doesn’t leave blobs of ink that will smear on the page. Even a cheap Bic will do, but what will that say about the style of your wedding! I like Parker Insignia Pens (pictured above, from www.internet-ink.co.uk) because they’re made in the UK, they’re a classic style and they won’t break the bank. You can even have them engraved with your wedding date and venue, so you’ll have another little keepsake or present for a member of the wedding party afterwards.
