Guest Blog by Kadee’s Wedding - Accent Your Wedding Day With DIY Guest Photos
I love pictures. I love taking them. I love posing for them. I love posing other people for them. I love making collages. I love giving picture gifts. . . . you get the idea. Pictures, to me, represent those moments and the details that add that extra little bit of spice to your life, they spark joyful memories, begin conversations and tell your story to those who didn’t know you when. To me, they are essential accessories to life.
So, what does this have to do with weddings in particular? Well, a recent trend that I have absolutely fallen in love with, is taking pictures of your guests for the guestbook (maybe it’s not the trend that’s new, maybe it’s just me 
). Remember, not everyone will make their way into the professional wedding photos, but that doesn’t mean they are any less important. These people are here for you and this a great way to keep them close to your heart when you look back. . . a wedding is just as much about the people who surround you, support you and love you in life as it is about the couple starting their journey together.
Anyway, last year, my cousin had rented one of those retro-looking photo booths for her guests and EVERYONE loved it and kept going back for more of its {charming} fun. However, photo booths don’t always fit into the budget, but there is another option: go the DiY route {always think DiY J)!
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on my photo booth DiY options and found these cute little pictures for inspiration:
{love the idea of using props – gives the camera shy something to smile about ;)}
{what a cute accessory}
{so delightful}
{colorful fun}
First thing to do is make sure there is an area that would be appropriate for the photo booth at your venue. Next, find your backdrop. Check to see what you have around the house that would match into the theme of your wedding. Ikea is another good option for something playful and fairly inexpensive. Drop it Modern also offers a variety of {ultra chic} and pretty cool backdrops, this one is my favorite:
From there, decide whether you are going to build a frame, string it or hang it.
I also really like the idea of offering props to your guests. It can help ease the nerves and lighten the mood of having to pose for a picture they may not want to be in. Try searching Value Village and costume stores right after Halloween for some cheap finds on wigs, big sunglasses, hats, boas etc.! Another cute idea is to purchase a small chalkboard and colored chalk and let guests send a picture message. Make sure to have a few though, or your line may get too backed up!
Anyway this a chance to let your guests have fun and relax before your ceremony, it sets the tone for the day and gets everyone involved. . . I love it!

P.S. A link {for you} to a more detailed DiY instruction list for your photo booth . . . enjoy!

Witch Out: The Vampire Diaries Begins Casting for Bonnie’s Mother
Every since Grams (Jasmine Guy) died, we’ve been waiting for Mystic Falls Child and Family Services to come and take Bonnie (Kat Graham) to a foster home. We know http://www.izdvd.com/goods-1019-the-vampire-diaries-seasons-12-dvd-boxset.html The Vampire Diaries seasons 1-2 dvd boxset teen witch has a father, but we’ve never seen him. Since we’ve met so many of the other characters’ parents, we were starting to get suspicious that Bon-Bon was an emancipated minor, grifting her way through high school. Then she went on a summer-long road trip with her pops, so we guess she’s not really Oliver Twist-ing it.
In fact, it seems Bonnie’s mysterious mother will be en route to Mystic Falls soon. (As you may recall, she left her husband and Bonnie many years ago.) TV Fanatic reports that casting has begun for Mrs. Bennett. Here’s the description: 38-44, African-American, a beautiful but troubled woman who is http://www.izdvd.com/goods-1019-the-vampire-diaries-seasons-12-dvd-boxset.html The Vampire Diaries DVD Set by the secrets of her past that led her to abandon her daughter. As determined and fiery as any Bennett woman.
The parents of TVD characters haven’t always turned out to be forces of good in their children’s lives (we’re looking at you, Bill), but here’s hoping Bonnie’s mom uses her powers for good instead of torture.

Blu-ray Review: Bones - The Complete Sixth Season
Author: JeromeWetzelTV — Published: Oct 23, 2011 at 2:31 pm0 comments
Now out on Blu-ray and DVD is Bones The Complete Sixth Season. Year six begins with “The Mastodon in the Room,” in which the team comes back together, after many months apart, to help Cam (Tamara Taylor). The absence has made Brennan (Emily Deschanel) realize that she wants to be with Booth (David Boreanaz), but in the interim, he has moved on with Hannah (Katheryn Winnick). Similarly, Daisy (Carlo Gallo) tries to reconnect with a jilted Sweets (John Francis Daley). http://www.izdvd.com/goods-744-bones-season-16-dvd-boxset.html Bones season 1-6 DVD boxset back together again, they all understand they are strongest together, no matter what personal woes plague them.
The sixth season of http://www.izdvd.com/goods-744-bones-season-16-dvd-boxset.html Bones DVD is an excellent one, with many fun highlights. In “The Maggots in the Meathead,” Brennan visits the Jersey Shore to interact with Guidos, a cultural group she is very interested in. “The Body and the Bounty” finds Professor Bunsen Jude, The Science Dude (David Alan Grier), coming to the Jeffersonian to shoot an episode of his popular series. “The Bikini in the Soup” is an amusing Valentine’s Day case. Many pairs of dismembered feet wash to shore in “The Feet on the Beach.” Also, Angela (Michaela Conlin) and Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) welcome a child.

But season six isn’t all fun and games. “The Bullet in the Brain” brings with it the assassination of longtime foe, the Gravedigger (Deirdre Lovejoy), and kicks off Booth’s hunting down of the shooter, http://www.izdvd.com/goods-744-bones-season-16-dvd-boxset.html Bones DVD set former friend Jacob (Arnold Vosloo). Even worse, before Booth can stop Jacob, the bad guy kills beloved squintern Vincent Nigel Murray (Ryan Cartwright), a tragedy that hits the entire team pretty hard. In the aftermath, taking comfort in Booth’s arms, Brennan ends up (SHOCKER!) pregnant with his baby, a fact that will surely lead to all new chemistry between the leads in season seven.
Among the other milestones in The CompleteSixthSeason, http://www.izdvd.com/goods-744-bones-season-16-dvd-boxset.html Bones DVD Boxset presents a backdoor pilot in “The Finder,” introducing a couple of characters who will be headlining their own spinoff later this year or early next. It’s a decent episode with an interesting concept. BecauseBones will be doing a reduced number of episodes to accommodate Deschanel’s real-life pregnancy in season seven, several Bonescharacters will appear in episodes of The Finder, further tying the two together. As such, this is a very important episode, in the universe of the series.
