The News & The Guide
Signing the wedding guestbook has long been a tradition. Historically, guests signed the book after the ceremony, acting as witnesses. Today, guests are signing the book before the ceremony, providing a record of their attendance and offering their good wishes to the couple. Almost anything can serve as a wedding guestbook, as long as guests can sign it. Couples can set up a memory jar in lieu of a guestbook and have guests tuck good wishes inside it. They can set up a recipe box and have guests tuck a recipe, along with their good wishes, inside it. They can set out some selfaddressed, prepaid postcards and have guests mail the cards to them on their honeymoon. Furniture is another great guestbook alternative. Almost anything will work for the project from benches to chairs to tables. Guests could sign an old steamer trunk, for example, and the couple could finish it by decoupaging it with postcards from their honeymoon travels. When selecting a piece of furniture to serve as the guestbook, couples need to make sure there is plenty of space for guests to sign it. Couples having a themed wedding will want to look for something that fits within the theme. Seashells, for example, work well for beach weddings. Guests can turn the shells over, sign them and slide them into a wicker basket or a shallow bowl. Couples end up with a great accessory for their home and a memento of their wedding. Couples who are sports fans might want to look into having a jersey, pennant or some sort of equipment signed. Who could resist smiling during a game of bowling when using a ball, shoes and bag signed by the guests who attended their wedding? Ceramics are another idea. Couples could drop by a local pottery shop and arrange for a large platter, bowl or a set of coffee mugs for guests to sign. When the wedding is over, couples could return to the pottery shop to have the pieces fired.

Don’t forget your Valentine on February 14th! Each year on February 14, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th century, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings.
Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap.” Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.) Women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines
