Guestbook but it's a photography book...

Nicole, on January 26, 2023 at 2:39 PM Posted in Style and Décor 1 7

My fiancé and I would prefer to use a coffee table book to display in our home instead of a traditional guestbook.

Below is a photo of a book that could be perfect... called "New York in Bloom" (we're both from NY and got engaged there, plus my wedding is in April so it fits the spring vibe).


Will guests think that's weird? I'm just expecting them to use a sharpie to write a little message on a page... just like a regular guestbook. Thoughts please!!???

    This is a cute idea!! There are so many unique types of guest books out there, I don't think guests will find it weird at all to sign a coffee table book! I would either put up a sign to explain to guests what you'd like them to do ("sign your name/write us a message on the page that has your favorite flowers!"), or maybe even have immediate family and/or the wedding party pre-sign the book ahead of time so other guests can understand that you're OK with them writing in the book.

    Absolutely yes to the sign. I didn't even think of having my family sign it first but that's SUCH a good idea!! Thank you!!

    I think this is a great idea! Just make sure that whatever color sharpie will stand out on the page Smiley smile

    I think that’s a very cool, unique idea. I did something kind of like that, but took our engagement photos and had it made into a book. There are photos on every other page and blank black pages opposite of them. We have metallic sharpies for signing.

    Who cares if it’s non traditional?!?! It’s very cool. Just make sure people understand what you want with a sign and have pens that will work on the pages and not smudge etc

    I think it looks really good! The only thing I would be worried about is that you won't be able to easily see the messages if they sign on the pictures, but other than that it looks great!
