Guest book or No Guest book

I'm down to the wire and still haven't figured out if I want a guest book or not. What's everyone else doing?

    I made a Shutterfly photo guestbook with a promo code. At the very least it has some photos of our engagement.

    It seems like the consensus is finding something that has dual purpose or is customized to your interests.

    If you really want one, skip the book in general and go with a photo they can sign or some cute etsy idea and hang it somewhere in your home!

    We did a photo book of our engagement pictures for people to sign. Honestly, I think you could skip it unless you are super sentimental.

    We did the shadow

    box with the hearts that guests sign and will display it in the house somewhere. The hearts were a little small to sign though

    We got a collection of vintage postcards from our venue (Bronx Zoo) and asked guests to pick a postcard and write us a note. A LOT of people didn't, I was a little sad to see how few postcards we actually ended up with.

    I made this for our guests to sign and I plan on using it as wall art after the wedding

    We were thinking of doing the thumbprint tree but opted on this one instead. It's on canvas and we were able to make the leaves the colors we wanted. It will look nice on our living room wall after the wedding.

    We're doing a puzzle guest book like this one. We'll stencil our names or initials on the middle piece.

    We made a photobook from Shutterfly with our engagement photos (got it for I think 10$ because of discounts so thought might as well). They have "guestbook" options with white space to sign, so we chose that. Figured we are more likely to look at it again if it also has our engagement photos because we love them!

    Not having one. I was on the fence. FH doesn't want the "clutter" after the wedding. So... he made that decision easy enough. Lol.

    We're doing a globe. Something I'll actually display in my living room. Pinterest has cute ideas.

    We're going to build a pallet sign and carve our initials and date like a tree trunk. Something to hang on the wall and remember the love that surrounded us on our wedding day...

    End sap.

    We are doing a picture frame with our names and the date etched in the glass and then guest will sign a wooden heart and drop it in. Then it will hang on our wall. It's beautiful, so I'm looking forward to it.

    We are having a custom sign made. It will have the state of Nebraska and the state of Ohio with a heart meeting in-between both states to symbolize us finding each other even though we lived in different states. It will have our names at the bottom with our wedding date. We met on deployment but were both from different states. It's amazing how our hearts found one another like it was meant to be!

    We're doing a polaroid guest book. I am so looking forward to all the goofy pictures I know some of our guests are going to take!
