A Simple Photograph
My Mom reminds me that I use to like to play 'office' when I was a little girl. I had a desk in my room and my Great-Grandfather Hill's typewriter. I use to type note after note after note on that thing. I knew which keys stuck and how to fix them, I knew how to change the ribbon and I always put it away in its carrying case to prevent dust build-up. Yes, I was a good little 'office' worker.
It came as no surprise to me that my son enjoys using the typewriter now. He isn't so much drawn into role-playing but loves the mechanics of how the machine works. He is very excited to come with me and visit the typewriter mechanic in a couple of weeks. Yes, the machines are going in for their spring tune-up.
A little cleaning, fine tuning and new ribbons for all. Two of the beauties are available for rent. They are sweet and charming in their own individual ways.

By now, using a typewriter at a wedding is almost standard. It is a great conversation piece, a classic prop and is very handy for producing a unique guest book.
Martha Stewart Weddings suggest using a single long piece of paper for guests to type out notes. After the event, roll it up in a scroll and secure with a ribbon.

I like the idea of providing a stack of multi-coloured paper. Each guest selects a colour, types out a note and hangs the note on a clothes line strung between two trees. Afterwards the notes are collected. They can either be scanned for a digital book, placed in a scrapbook or kept in a pretty display box for future reading.
If you don't want your guests using the typewriter (or it isn't in working condition), simply use it as a prop to display the seating plan. Sweet and simple.

Q Weddings
Typewriter:
1. Decide if you are buying or renting a typewriter. Think about whether or not you want to have the typewriter after the event.
2. Whether buying or renting, ask if it is in working order. i.e. keys do not stick and does it have a new ribbon.
3. Do not let the typewriter get wet. Ever. Even dampness can cause issues. So if you plan to have it displayed outdoors be sure someone brings it inside when the sun sets and evening dew arrives.
4. If you buy a typewriter that isn't in perfect working condition, it will cost you a minimum of $75 to have it looked at and cleaned. If other problems are discovered, there are additional fees.
