Chris has constantly been telling me that we have too many pictures of him and I around our house. I justify it by saying that we have beautiful wedding and engagement pictures along with 4 years of documented memories that i just need to display. Besides, it's not like we have a child {or dog, for that matter} to take pictures of and display around the house!
Recently I saw this post at we met in a bar featuring the lovely poster mat from their wedding:
In my personal opinion, this has to be the next big trend {RIP picture mat}. Purchase a {wedding/love} print that you both love and want to hang in your home. Have your guests sign it and it's guaranteed to have a special place in your home and hold a special meaning for you both. 
Naturally, Heather from we met in a bar, had a gorgeous instructional sign accompanying the marker jar to let her guests know they were welcome to sign the mat.
We had our wedding party and close family sign a picture mat at our rehearsal dinner {we had our guests sign a blurb guest book at our reception}. The signature mat is still sitting on the floor of our home office. I know, sad but true. One day it will find a home. I can't help but think that Chris would gladly let me hang a print, like the one above, before he lets me hang another picture of ourselves {picture mat included}. Le Sigh.That being said, all you brides-to-be out there, jump on the poster mat bandwagon! I would love to see what poster you find for your guests to sign!

We had all of our wedding guests sign a picture mat as well! We've framed a collage of wedding pictures and this is my absolute favorite picture from the wedding that we've got in the house.
What a cute idea. We actually had a picture mat signed at our reception, and still love it to date and it sits proudly in our living room. I can definitely see this trend taking off though. Plus, there are so many possibilities.
we did this exactly, but it was a green print that said "love". we love it - and got tons of compliments on it!
I will mail you pictures of Benson to display in your home. See....everyone wins!
I love this idea so much more than the photo mat option. It's so much more practical!
I have read a ZILLION bridal blogs in the past 9 months. None of them compare to yours. I have spent the past 2 hours scrolling through pictures of your perfect wedding, and getting some fantastic ideas. Thank you so, so much for sharing your journey and giving so many helpful hints and lessons!
i really like this..
I like the picture mats, I think it's a cute idea and something you can save. That sign on the marker jar is actually really cute, too! :)
