Guest book plate idea as seen on @offbeatbride #guestbook #weddings

These guest book plates transform into kick-ass home decor

Jenne and Vojtech’s art deco 1920s-themed Texas wedding had some gorgeous moments (including a Star Wars t-shirt tribute from the groomsmen!). One detail stood out as a total steal-this idea. They offered up plates as their guest book! Guests signed them with permanent markers for placement on the couple’s walls after the wedding.

These dapper guys had a super chic New York City elopement

John and Randy had the sweet and tiny Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City elopement of our dizziest daydreams. Between their chic-as-hell style, adorable portraits, and the New York skyline, it’s our favorite kind of urban chic awesomeness. Don’t miss the shots in DUMBO, “Top of the Rock,” Grand Central, and Bethesda Fountain in Central Park where they held the ceremony. Oh, and you’ll go nuts for their subtly matching sleek suits.

In-laws name alternatives as seen on @offbeatbride

OPEN THREAD: are there in-laws name alternatives instead of just “the in-laws?”

Monster in-laws, the evil in-laws… it’s absolutely true that society has demonized the term in-laws into something that isn’t exactly reflective of reality. I’m all for embracing terms with formerly negative connotation and reforming them with positivity, but sometimes it’s just not practical for daily use. Do any of you call your partner’s family by something other than the in-laws?
