I think we're going to do like @travelgirl1 and ask guests to fill in a note of well wishes/predictions and we'll supply everything else. I feel bad asking guests to bring anything out of the ordinary to a party -- I'm still on the fence about even mentioning no gifts on the invite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2151343 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 13:04:37 +0000 travelgirl1 2151343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this but all I asked guests to do was to fill in a piece of paper I prepared at the party, with a message for LO, their memories of her and their hopes for her future.</p> <p>We did all the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2151212 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:54:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2151212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the HB mamas did this and her FIL bought a Playboy for the time capsule.</p> <p>TV Guide<br /> Menus<br /> Copy of the years best seller book<br /> Trend clothes or accessories (The Goldberg takes me back every week)<br /> Treasury bond because really what's better than money on your birthday? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2151180 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:38:45 +0000 Keybee 2151180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super cute idea! I like how labels change over time, different fonts become fashionable and such, you could include a label or wrapper from LO's favorite packaged foods or candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2151166 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:31:50 +0000 808love 2151166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this!! It is going to be so great when it gets opened later. How about stock market page, hand and footprint? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150342 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:48:44 +0000 MK0180 2150342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I know! It's hard enough with CDs these days :) We do have a couple of DVDs to throw in!</p> <p>@Cole: Oh thanks for the info! We do have the newspaper on the day he was born but movie stubs, money and predictions are an awesome idea :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150259 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:45:12 +0000 Cole 2150259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about photos of your home and places you frequent? Articles/photos of current tech devices, movie stubs, newspapers, list of best sellers, money with the current year, board games or other hobby items that your family enjoys.</p> <p>I think it would be fun to have little cards set out for people to write predictions on both for your lo and the future in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150252 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:41:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2150252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how about a popular toy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150246 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:38:58 +0000 Alivoo01 2150246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a super cute idea!!! </p> <p>@Mamaof2: I know right! They're barely existing now. Maybe a printout or poster instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150217 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:26:49 +0000 Mamaof2 2150217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't but that is a cute idea!</p> <p>CD with current music<br /> DVD of a popular movie </p> <p>...although in 20 yrs will they have CD and DVD players?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules-1#post-2150210 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:24:07 +0000 MK0180 2150210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anybody done a time capsule for their LO's first birthday? I am thinking of doing one instead of gifts that guests can bring that happened within the last year. Magazines, maybe a receipt or two to show how much stuff cost, books, etc. I was wondering if HB had any other ideas to include as examples to tell guests? We're going to include his coming home outfit, a key onesie with his middle name and some other personal trinkets. Thank you! </p>
