Wedding By The Sea Beach Diary*
Have your guests capture their favorite moments with this diary.
Let your guests capture their favorite moments at your destination wedding with their own beach diary. Each Wedding By The Sea Beach Diary is made from all natural mulberry paper and has 20 blank pages for guests to write in, which is room enough for a note to the couple, a line of advice, a drawing from a child at the family table, or a memory a guest would rather keep for themselves. Mulberry paper has a soft, slightly uneven surface, so writing on it feels like part of the occasion rather than a chore.
The cover is beautifully designed to portray the unique features of the sea, set with real miniature seashells of various species, so no two covers are arranged quite alike. Tied to the front cover is an all natural twig pencil, which means nobody has to hunt for a pen during the reception; the diary arrives ready to write in. With contrasting colors to represent the beach landscape, everything about this wedding diary will complement your efforts for a successful seaside event.
Personalize it with a fun phrase like Our Love "Shell" Last Forever, or with the bride and groom's names and event date, applied in-house by HansonEllis. That one line is what turns a pretty little notebook into a keepsake with a date attached to it, and it is the reason guests keep the book instead of leaving it on the table.
The diary is perfect for any beach theme event including anniversaries and birthday parties. It serves the purpose of an everyday journal or a keepsake of sentimental value, and guests who take one home tend to still be writing in it long after the sand is out of their shoes. Set one at each place setting, stand the matching Wedding By The Sea Beach Guest Book at the entrance, and your seaside table already looks planned. This wedding keepsake will be a favor they will remember.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and give every guest somewhere to write the day down.

Which one should I choose
A seaside table usually needs two things: somewhere for every guest to write, and one book the couple keeps. These pieces split that job between them.
| Wedding By The Sea Beach Diary | Choose it when you want one small keepsake per guest, with pages they fill in themselves and take home. |
|---|---|
| Wedding By The Sea Beach Guest Book | Choose it when you want a single larger book at the entrance that everyone signs, kept by the couple. |
| A plain paper favor or printed card | Choose it when the favor is meant to be read once and recycled at the end of the night. |
Order the diaries for the guests and the guest book for yourselves, and the two match on the same table.
