Guest Book Ideas

Ingrid, on May 22, 2021 at 8:11 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 1 32

I would love to see your guest book ideas. I'm stuck and really can't come up with anything the just jumps out and says this is what we should do.


I had a co-worker create a Shutterfly book of them and left space for people to sign. I thought it sounded like a good idea, but the more I started to think about it felt like more like a High School yearbook. And of course I cannot get this out of my mind when I start thinking of ideas.


I'm not a DIY'er so def not going to be making something. Please share your ideas or what you will be doing.

    We decided against a book because I think it wouldn’t be looked at often. We are doing this:


    https://www.etsy.com/listing/727247980/bourbon-barrel-guest-book-wedding?ref=user_curated_list-6&frs=1

    We are going to display it in the entry way or maybe on a stand in the kitchen.

    We are having a beach wedding, and so we are doing message in a bottle as our guest book. What is your wedding “theme?”

    We’re doing a bourbon barrel head similar to Lisa’s. My FH is a huge bourbon fan and we have a home bar that features a decent bourbon collection so we plan on displaying it as bar decor.

    We are having people sign wine bottles for us to enjoy on our 1st anniversary! I got custom labels from Etsy and it was super easy to remove the front label of two of our favorite wines.

    I like traditional things, and I also enjoy scrap booking myself, so we're going with the old school scrapbook style book. The feeling of the real paper in your hands cant be beat! We're also going to have instant cameras and glue dots so guests can put their photos in the book and sign it.

    We got an original print from an artist we love and are having guests sign the matte.

    I made this of my fiancé and I. People will sign in the white space, we’ll frame it and hang it up as an art piece! I have also seen recently a custom globe with your initials and wedding date on it that people sign, I thought that was cute too!

    I like this idea but it's too rustic for our event and house. Thank you for sharing

    That fits perfect for you wedding and love the idea. No real wedding theme. My florist is calling it Classic Elegant.

    I had a birthday party with an InstaPix camera. I was not a fan of how small and dark they turned out. Which camera are you using? Thank you for sharing

    Thank you!! I got the idea off Etsy. I just searched like “cartoon wedding guest book” or something. But I was like, hey! I can draw this myself so why not!
