Guest book

I definitely don't think they're necessary. I got a code for one of the free shutterfly photo books so I made a book with our engagement pictures and some random spaces for me to sign. That way it is like a photo album and guest book that maybe our kids will want to look at some day or something haha

My fiance and I are doing a puzzle guestbok since puzzle pieces are a special thing between us and then we can frame it and put it somewhere in our house afterwards.

I'm not doing a guest book for say. But we do have a cornhole game that we are going to have every one sign

I felt the same way, so I'm changing it up just a bit. I bought a Polaroid camera, a scrapbook, colored paper (precut to fit the scrap book), wedding themed stickers, ribbon and some glue. I am going to have an area set to the side at both the rehearsal dinner and the reception for my guest make a quick scrap book page with a picture of them. That way it will be something I will actually enjoy looking back on.

We are having a photo booth guests will get a picture for them and then one to place in a book to sign. So we are using that as our guest book.

I don’t think they’re necessary so we won’t be having one.

View Quoted Comment We’re doing this too as our wedding theme is puzzle pieces. Ordered the puzzle off Etsy with a larger piece with our names and the date - can’t wait to put it all together, glue it and hang it on the wall!

We are not doing a standard guest book. Instead we are having a large white picture mat made and will have everyone sign that. After the wedding we will put a picture from our wedding with it and have it framed

View Quoted Comment That's where we're getting ours! I can't wait to to get ours! How long did it take you to get yours?

View Quoted Comment It took about 3 weeks, so not too long (I ordered it like 7 months ago in the early planning stages before I got worried about things taking too long to arrive haha)

I completely agree with you. I dont care for a guest book. I'm not gonna have one.

View Quoted Comment Are Polaroid cameras affordable? This sounds like a super cute idea

Teresa- They start at around $50

I find them completely useless. Most guests don’t even sign them anyway. FH wants one though so we’re getting a nice journaling bible and having people highlight and write notes on their favorite scripture or any prayers they have for our marriage. This way we’ll have a nice family bible to pass down to our children.

I’ll be making a photo book of some of our engagement photos and having space around the photos to write. This way, it’s a photo album of our engagement while also being a wedding momento.
I don’t think it’s a necessary thing though, just something fun if you want it.
I had a neighbor who always had their guest book on display, even after being married for 40+ years just as something fun to look at and to reminisce.

I personally feel the guestbook is similar to a year book at school. i occasionally enjoy looking through them maybe once a decade. But lately i’ve seen some great ideas to incorporate that tradition into a piece of art for the home. Jenga pieces for game nights at home, thumbprint family tree framed in the living room..

Ok now that is way cool

This is what we got. I’ve always wanted a star map and a non-traditional guest book!

View Quoted Comment Where did you find this? ?

I'm going to have one. It's just a nice keepsake from the day. It will be fun to look back on and see the names
