Project #2: Guest Books/Table Numbers
One of my earliest inspirations was a Guest Book/Table Number that I found online at Martha Stewarts which just fit so nicely with our warm and whimsical theme. Allowing guests to be seated first before signing the guestbook is nicer than being rushed through the front door.
Japanese washi tape is essentially decorative masking tape. Taro tells me that "washi" means paper and the tapes feel light and paper-like, really easy to use. Look at all the awesome projects that can be created with this stuff.
We purchased these rolls (6m each) for 1050 yen. These tapes can be purchased in the US at this store.

One of my favorite stores in Tokyo is called Muji - they sell everything from stationary to household items and international food products. It prides itself on providing low prices and no brands.
Taro's explanation: Mu = nothing and Ji = brand.

We purchased these 5-pack, kraft paper notebooks for our guestbook/table numbers at Muji for only 189 yen. That's about 37 yen per notebook.
Inside of each book will include (1) the dinner menu, (2) the evening's agenda, (3) spaces for photos and sign-ins, and (4) an envelope for marriage advice. The remaining washi tape will go to decorate our gift bags with this stamp that looks similar to our invitation design.
