I am so in love with Target. I''ve been looking everywhere for one of those big frames that you put a little picture inside of it and then have guests sign the mat. My local bedbath & beyond carries them but has been out of stock forever, guess it''s big wedding time around here. So I finally found great one at target.com for $12.99 (so much cheaper than the BB&B one and I like the silver frame better than their black one anyhow!)

Just FYI if any one else is looking.


Oh, do you think I should have them sign with a silver gel pen, gold gel pen, copper gel pen, or black?

i really like it! i would probably do black gel pen. Silver might be just so light you cant read it!
 
Don''t you just LOVE Target!! Such a great deal- I paid $35 for mine off of eBay- bummer! Should have waited! Great find!

I''d go with black pen, too, to be sure you see those well wishes!
 
great find, AB. What size is the frame, and how large a picture can you put in it?

Thanks,
Selkie
 
I think maybe the gold gel pen would look neat! Why don''t you test it out. Sign messages, etc. on a white piece of paper and then position it on the frame, see which one you like best. That''s what I would do!

I just looked it up on target.com, it''s 11x14, it didn''t say what print size, but I''d guess a 4x6.
 
Ooooh, what a great find! Do they have any larger size frames? I'm looking for a frame too, but would like the picture to be at least 11x14, so the frame must be a lot bigger. I don't know what the general size difference is for the frame.

Anyone know?

If you have something custom amde it can be any size you want, and you''d just have to decide how much room you wanted to leave for everyone to sign on, but the next standard size up is a 16x20 I think...
 
You can go to Micahel''s pr joAnn''s and they will make the frame for you.
 
Thanks Ladies!
 
Pottery Barn has this in a huge size, like 28x28 or something like that. It holds an 8x10 picture I think..and I think it's $149 or something similar.

I tossed the idea around but just didn't want to deal with it in the end and our wedding was 30 people in Hawaii so unless they all wrote really large, it wasn't like we had 100 guests like we would have with a local wedding. But I love the idea.
 
I bought one at target that I really liked. It was 14x18 and held an 8x10 -- but then we looked at it and thought there wasn''t enough room for everyone to sign so I bought a 16x20 at aarons and a mat that held an 8x10 at Michaels. It had just enough room for everyone to sign.
 
Thanks Ginger! I''m going to have to check out Target. I''m planning to go tomorrow anyway since I ran out of clear mascara. The 14x18 that holds a 8x10 photo sounds like a perfect size for me since we have about 50 guests.
 
I got mine at Michael''s, but those are much bigger! We had to get 2 for less than 100 guests to sign them. Also, you should make sure that whatever pen you choose is acid-free ink so it doesn''t yellow the mat over time.
