Skipping the guest book...

We did three big bottles of wine. The thought of having to keep a book with people's drunk signatures and notes in it, somewhere in our little townhome, stressed me out...since I hate clutter. With wine, we'll drink it on our anniversaries and try to figure out who wrote on the bottles while we're drunk instead.

We're doing a wooden monogram. Everyone will sign it and then we'll hang it up at home.

I want to do a guestbook tree where our guests' fingerprints will be leaves (no signatures). A friend of mine did this at their wedding and now it is hanging in there house, it is beautiful. (Something like the picture). We are also having a photo booth and one of the photo strips will go into a scrapbook and guests can write little messages with their pictures.

I did wedding "mad libs". Not everyone filled them out, but we have quite a few I will eventually, one day, hopefully, get around to putting into an album. But no, no formal book and not everyone filled one out. I dont regret that. Its just a list of names and I will not know them all forever.

We have a guest bench that DH built and people signed it. It sits in our front hall and will be useful in any home we have. I love it and look at it everyday. Even love the little kids who wrote on it.
