For those that do custom steel gobo's, what do you do with them? Do you give them to bride and groom or save em? Is there a site to resell them? Im sure there are more than one couple with the same names getting married lol.
 
The multi-op I work with just gives them to the Bride and Groom.
They paid for them, and it's of no use to anyone else.

Why not throw them in a frame on a light background and give them to the couple as a gift? What could it cost you, $20?

Dan, you just hit on something cool, even tho I don't do weddings anymore..... But when I did, I was buying these small banners from an online place. An d what I did was have guests sign these banners..... So, using your idea, keep the middle area free from signings, attach the gobo, and then give to the B & G as your present to them. I was buying the banners for less than $10.

That's what we do with ours Dan. We put the Bride & Grooms name, date etc underneath the gobo in a frame. We also try and get a pic of the gobo in action from the wedding to put in the frame as well. They love it!

Because it's about as sentimental as putting the extension cord in a frame.

If they hang it up as a conversation piece the bride and groom will spend the rest of their lives trying to explain to people WTF it is - and why they would care to display it. :)
