What are you doing for your guestbook?

Hello! I am curious what everyone is doing for their guestbook? I want to do something other than your standard book but haven't decided what yet. I was looking at log slab "guestbooks" but I am still not completely decided. Show/tell me your ideas!

    We did a photo book and put it on a table.. I'd say 20% of guests actually signed it, so unless it's a huge deal to you, don't spend too much money on it!

    I am making something similar to this. We got engaged at Disney and we love all of the color. Each guest will sign a balloon.

    We are doing a video guestbook. In our photobooth there is an option to "record" so that our guests can leave us a short video message. I'm sure not everyone will do it and that's totally fine. I just knew that we would never look at a guestbook more than once and we would definitely never hang something in our house that people wrote all over. And the videos should be pretty funny when people record them after a few drinks! haha

    We are using a polaroid camera! Every guest takes their picture and puts it in a book with a message and well wishes for us! I have bought the camera, film, and washi tape for decoration. I plan on getting small stickers and markers to write it in! I feel like I will be more likely to look at this for a guest book than I would a book with signatures!

    Ours. My sister and her bf volunteered to take the pictures. I ended up gifting them my Polaroid camera as a thank you!

    My idea is to get a large wooden cut out letter of the first letter of our last name and have people sign that so we can hang it up

    We went with a photo sign in book. Our photographer who shot our engagement photos made it and it came out great!

    We are framing an engagement picture with thick matting and having people sign that. Then we will replace with a wedding picture!

    We have a guest "poster" for people to sign. Afterwards, we'll frame and hang it!

    I'm doing a polaroid guest book.

    Another alternative from a wedding I went to last year is to get a copy of the B&G favorite childhood book(s) and have the guest sign the page margins--the guests had lots of fun finding the perfect page to sign.
