    Probably skipping it. It’ll just be a dust collector.

    I'm doing a globe too! Smiley smile I think they make great home decor and I think it's much better than having a book that can be tucked away, with a globe it's out in the open and you can see all the love from your loved ones on it daily! Smiley heart

    I understand why ppl think it’s a waste, but I like it. I don’t see my family often and I would like some sweet notes to look at

    Not a traditional guestbook, but we are having people sign pieces of fabric and sewing them together to make a quilt! I wanted to have something we could use and not collect dust (:

    Personally, I don't love this tradition- I dont love chatchkies around the house, so, for us, it's a no!

    Yes it might not be a book with how creative people are getting these days but we will.

    That is so cool, Leanna!! I love that idea! How many people are you planning on inviting to the wedding? How big do you think the quilt will be?

    I keep asking FH if we have to. I think the conclusion was just do a simple one. I think some people would be grumpy if we skipped it.

    We're likely not doing a traditional guest book. I really want to have guests sign a blank puzzle, because both me and our fiance love puzzles, and then we can glue it and display it on our wall.

    We were going to nix it all together but I feel like people will be lost trying to find it so we just picked up a simple one.
