Words of Wisdom

I had seen an idea for a typewriter to be used at weddings as the guest book. But after having a think, I wasn't sure if it was going to be obvious to people that it was a working prop and they had to write us a quick message, so I decided to display instructions and a short personal message from us asking for 'Words of Wisdom' from our friends and family.

These are the words that I wrote, framed and put next to the typewriter. Don't forget to change the instructions for your particular typewriter if you use one!

Thank you all for joining us on our special day. We have been truly blessed to have parents, family and friends who have always given us invaluable support and guidance. We hope that you will share a few ‘Words of Wisdom’ with us as we begin our journey together as husband and wife.

Below are a few tips to help you with the typewriter, and if you get really stuck, there are a few pens available.

1.       Please pop the paper into the back of the typewriter near the ruler. Then turn the purple wheel on the right hand side to feed the paper in. Lift up the front bar and tuck the paper underneath.

2.       To begin, push the left hand lever to the right until the carriages stops. Then start writing until the bell rings, and then use the lever in the left hand side to go onto the next line.

3.       If you need the shift button, it’s at the bottom right hand corner.

4.       Please type hard so that the letters are nice and clear.

Thank you for your continued love and support as we begin our happily ever after.
