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?

    We're doing a bible with the option for guests who share our Christian faith to highlight a verse that is meaningful to them.

    Getting a tree for people to sign their name and address in the leaves - mostly to send out thank you cards

    I am between nothing and a polaroid guest book. Pretty sure I'll go with nothing but we shall see.

    Doing a instax guest book...thought it would be cuter years from now to look back at everyone who came, in case we don't catch photos with all of em

    I found a really cute one on Etsy. I like the idea, but that's just me. They have lots of options of them on that site. And we're going to put pics of our relationship throughout the places to sign

    I'm not. It will end up being clutter.

    I did a canvas of the state we are getting married in, that way everyone can sign it and can be easily hung on the wall!

    We're doing some kind of guest signage. I really like the wooden guest books, but I just found one I'd like to put on the wall. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where there wasn't something to sign. Does kinda seem like a waste if you don't hang it tho. I wonder how the tradition started...

    We're doing an alternative guest book. We're doing the finger print tree. My aunt bought it for us, I believe she got it at Hobby Lobby. We wanted something we could hang up versus a traditional guest book that more than likely would end up in a box and never see the light of day after the wedding.

    I think we're just going to do video. We want to hire a videographer for the ceremony and for the toasts, and in between she says she can go around and get well-wishes from our guests. It will be so nice to see everyone moving and talking in all the years to come.

    We were going back and forth. I am super sentimental, so I definitely want people to leave notes for us, but I think we will likely do some sort of print, for people to sign, but definitely something we will display in our home after.

    Were doing Polaroid photos so our guests can enjoy and have fun. If it were just a book to,sign a name I wouldn't do it. If theres something personal between you and FH maybe do that? But just a book is so meh to me.

    I bought a guestbook because my FH wanted one. I was pretty shocked that he cared either way. But he absolutely wants us to have one so I bought a personalized one off of Etsy that I love!!

    I have never seen one...maybe its regional. I'm not doing one. I don't want to hang one in my wall and will never look at a book.
