Alternative guest books (need ideas)

Guestbook!

We just ordered on wooden sign from an Etsy seller online. I think it was under $50 to get it customized with the name & date.

I love ours because we can just hang it up once we get our house! The only thing I don't like about it is our date got kinda smushed together. I feel like online you get the really doctored photos so here's a real sample where you can actually see what it would look like in real life.

I wanted something simple that wouldn't collect dust. I bought the multi colored sharpies at Wal-Mart for about $8-$10, I think.

I found a really cool guest book by “missdesignberry” they custom make a canvas board of you and your hubby. They even customize your dress!

We did a Jenga guest book cause we struggle with over personalized items that we would want on our bookshelves for years to come. we've played it and read people's messages.

One of my shower gifts was a custom jenga game with our wedding date printed on the blocks in a custom wood case. The woman who gave us the gift included super fine tip sharpies and a cute sign instructing the guests to sign the blocks and the box.

I probably would have skipped the guest book has I not received the jenga game but it’s super cute! I can’t wait to see all the signatures on it 😊

This is ours. We used pallet wood, cut it down and sanded flat. This is put together with pegs. Stained, lots of clear coat and then the vinyl. Once people sign we will clear coat again to seal.

Since we are in Kentucky, we're doing a bourbon barrel head guestbook for guests to sign. My design is different than the example, but you get the idea!

I love this idea so much! Around how much did that cost you for the camera, film and book?

I absolutely love this idea!

View Quoted Comment I actually bought everything on Amazon! The guest book was $34 and the whole camera set up was a little under $200. I got the camera, 14 ten packs of film (140 photos), a carrying case, batteries, and the glue dots. I also ordered some fringey type of wall hanging to put on the wall as a backdrop and that was like $12.
