Guest Book Ideas for Small Wedding?

Carmelite, on April 18, 2021 at 10:24 PM

Posted in Wedding Reception 39

Our wedding is small, less than 100 people! We are thinking we may not do a guest book. Any ideas for something different? Thank you

    OMGoodness, I seriously love those. Do you mind if I ask where you had them done. I would love something close to that.

    Oh wow, now that beautiful and since my fiancé and I are from different places, that would be an amazing tribute to both places. Thank you for sharing. I love this.

    A lot of people do the wooden signs with their names and wedding date on it for guests to sign, then you can either hang it up or display it someway in your home! You could also get a picture frame with white border around the photo which your guests could sign, then you put your wedding photo in it and display that!

    Other options include: globe guests book (perfect for travelers), jenga pieces, puzzle pieces, thumbprint tree (each guests puts a fingerprint on it and signs their name), polaroid photo guest book (guests take a photo of themselves and places it in a book and signs).

    Our guestbook is just on our wedding website. Definitely not a must no matter the size of tour wedding!

    I am doing an alternative guestbook! On etsy we ordered an illustration of us in our wedding attire with our names and date. That way we can have everyone sign it and just frame it rather than have a book that will collect dust.

    Hi I ordered the heart cards off of Amazon! I think I searched advice and well wishes cards, something like that. Then I ordered a guest book off of Etsy. I just double sided taped the cards into the book. I wish those cards came in a book form, but I kinda just made my own! It still looks good! The double sided tape is super thin and flat so it still looks good Smiley smile Good luck!

    We bought some Jenga blocks at Marshall's that were designed to be for weddings!

    I attended a wedding with no guest book. Instead the photographer had a calk board that said " Blank (your name) attended Jane and Peter's wedding 3/6/2001". You filled in your name and had your picture taken.

    We are doing a wooden sign / guest book. Once everyone signs (those that choose to), we will apply sealant and hang it up in our home.

    FFIL has the hobby of woodworking so we asked him to build us a simple outdoor bench, we will brand the center of the back with our future brand and have people sign it, then it will be covered with a schellac or something to protect it! Here is an idea of what the bench will kind of look like, and then we will "brand" it with our brand!

    We had a photo booth and gusts put a copy of their photo strip in an album and wrote a note along with it! It was fun and we enjoy looking at everyone's photos.

    We are going to have a space photography coffee table book. Guests will be asked to pick any page they like and sign it/write us a note. We'll discover them later when we go through the book, and while it is still a guest "book", since we collect coffee table books it is something we already enjoy having in our house.

    I got this for ours! The box says “please sign a heart and drop it in the frame, so we will never forget our loved ones who came” you can hang it afterwards in your home. I thought it was a cute alternative!

    I’m looking to do this same thing! Can I ask what site you used and if it’s a template or you are designing your own book?

    We got ours through Artifact Uprising. They have guest book options to choose from and have the templates already created, so all you have to do is upload your pictures (though you can rearrange your pictures/templates if you'd like). The quality is really great.

    We are having a small wedding and decided to do a Polaroid guest book so guests can take photos and then tape them in our guest book and write a little something!
