Guest Book??

Erin, on April 19, 2017 at 4:21 PM Posted in Planning 0 50

Do people do it anymore? What are other options..? I don't want to have people sing a picture mat..I guess there are jinga blocks, or snap a polariod and pop it in a book..what else?

    I'm doing a book because I'm making a shadow box with torn pages from it, veil, bouquet, invitation, pics. Rental gown.

    Once I learned it isn't necessary, we decided to skip it.

    The only reason we're having one is because a photo book from our engagement session is included in my photographer's price.

    I'm doing a "guest tree", they also make puzzles and little pictures in all different styles. This will be made of wood and I can frame it and hang it in my home. Smiley smile much prefer it to the book. I've also seen river stones signed by guests and put into Jars.

    Here's a picture of what I'm ordering.

    We're doing this. I'm so excited! FH's sister is going to take the pictures for us with the Polaroid so people aren't trying to take selfies and wasting the frames!

    We are doing a drop box. Love the idea of something we can hang up after.

    FH is a great artist and he is painting a picture having to do with our theme on canvas and we will have the guest sign that I always wanted something I can hang is stead of a book that will sit on a shelf and collect dust. We are also having the guest put their addresses into our new address book as a couple

    This is what ours is going to look like. Guests will sign the blue part. I was not going to do a guest book unless I could find something I'd be truly happy to display in my home. I'm happy to say I found the right one!

    We found a singable picture frame we love and are having our guests sign it. Now we can enjoy it anytime.

    I ordered mine from Peachwik. It's a canvas that people can sign and then you hang on a wall.

    OMG great ideas. I like these. I am NOW changing to something similar. Wow these were NOT available 27 years ago when I married the first time or maybe I didn't know it. THANKS for posting this question!

    I'm skipping the guest book, I don't think it's necessary and I couldn't find any alternatives that I liked.

    Honestly, I think it's kinda pointless...

    @Hope I got the Polaroid camera from Target, the film from Walmart because it was cheaper there.

    (Picture I posted was my inspiration from Pinterest) My actual book I got from Michaels! I will post a picture of it when I get home in 15-20 minutes Smiley smile

    This is ours and we have metallic sharpies that people can use to sign it. We'll hang it up at home afterwards.
