Guest Books

I just skipped the guestbook. I'll be honest, I never sign them, and I knew that I would never look at it.

We opted for a large board for people to sign because I knew I wanted something we would use. We ended up hanging it up in our house and adding wedding pictures on each side. I got it from Etsy.

You can use anything: a photo matte around and engagement picture which can be switched out for a wedding picture..or a coffee table book and have guests sign the inside covers. I would not get a standard guest book that will only have 1 page used and only a percentage of guests will sign even the fun things.

I am doing a photo guest book! We bought instant cameras for fairly cheap along with a bunch of film so everyone can take their picture, and bought a guest book from Amazon for people to stick their pictures in. I absolutely love pictures, so I knew I wanted to do something with photos as a guest book.

We are doing a vinyl record that will be framed and hung in our house after the wedding.

Not doing one

I ended up doing two canvases! I had 250 people at my wedding so if you have a larger wedding then that could work too. I wanted something that I could hang up or display
Here’s mine

It’s still in the making but we’re doing a Rustic H, we will add some vinyl that’s says our names and the date once we get closer.

We are doing wine bottles. Those BIG wine bottles. So we can drink them on each anniversaries. Not everyone signs them or signs for the family, so we didn't really want a book since it will just end up with empty spaces!

Wine corks in a shadow box that has our wedding date on the front. This way, even if people don't sign corks, we can still fill it with corks from memorable wines that we drink

View Quoted Comment Yes!! How cute is it?? It's like celebrating with the guests on every anniversary 😂

We Have A Guestbook Heart Frame From Etsy-Guests Will Sign A Heart And Drop It Into The Frame . This Is Similar To What We Have But Not The Same.

I made a guest board for our 120 guests to sign. Then it will hang on the wall in our home.

I love the display!

We purchased a journaling Bible (the ones with the large side margins with the lines). We’re setting out highlighters and pens and asking guests to highlight their favorite verse and sign in the margin. Similar to this one.

We’re using an engagement picture with our dogs to print on a matte board (?) and have people sign around it. We didn’t feel right to not include our dogs in some way with the wedding, and we’ll probably hang it in our office after!
