For example, pictures were cut out that dealt with the home or family. They used the magazines to cut out pictures or words that showed what they thought the bride's future would look like. The guest that answers the most correct wins a prize. You will be amazed what people do or do not know. It will start great conversations.
Guests pass it around and give their best 'love and marriage' advice.
After the wedding it can also be used as the 'gift list' book. This is what we did for my wedding and it was nice to have ONE book that had everything in it. Each guest is given this name tag to wear throughout the shower. Each guest then tries to remember who everyone was. It's fun and gets people to mingle more.
