Time in a Bottle

Guests don't use a guest book to sign in at a wedding reception anymore. Remember those
white leather books that were embossed in gold? You opened them up and the paper was lined like a school writing pad. Totally passe. Today couples are much more creative. They have goldfish bowls, birdcages, coffee table books, shells and stones. Sometimes guests are to write their messages to the bride in groom on the shells or stones and they are all gathered into a beautiful jar for the newlyweds' home. We would have to rent a crane to move the jar but it is a lovely thought. My daughter and STBSIL have opted for the book. They want a book that features the lake where they were both camp counselors. It doesn't exist. One has not been published. The college themed book is out of the question as they didn't attend the same school. Also, the institutions of higher learning for my STBSIL and Precious are arch rivals so one of them would be upset. Clever people make books online out of photos. So we are back to square one. I'd do one about my favorite vacation spot but I'd have to divulge where that would be and then I'd have to kill you. Maybe a stroke of genius will strike....any ideas?
