What's your unique guestbook?

What are you doing for your guest book? How much is it costing you? Why did you pick that option? How are you displaying it? I REALLy want a photobooth guest book but I feel it would not be good for my wedding, which is outside, in the evening/night. I'm on a budget too. So... I'm exploring other...

    We chose a cool pic of our last name made of unique letters. Our guest will sign the mat and we will hang it in our house.

    We are getting married in Good Ole Nashville so our guestbook will be a white guitar! Not sure how we are going to display it yet.

    @ Mrs. Hawkins2B I'm pretty we're doing the same thing, FH & I both really like this idea. We narrowed it down between this & a fingerprint or leaf tree.

    We're going to have little notecards made from fun paper for people to sign/write a note, and they will drop them into jumbo mason jars. I then will take them, and some fun pictures of the wedding and guests, along with the cards we get, and putting them in a scrapbook album.

    I just knew I didn't want to do a frame or something that 'needed' to be displayed. FH and I are old school with a bookcase that has all our favorites, and I think the scrapbook would be a great addition Smiley smile

    @Danielle, you can create & print your own photo book at a lot of places. I'm looking at Shutterfly - http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books?cid=SEGOO.PBOOK&kw=create+a+photobook_broad&gclid=CMmN2YO_grYCFcZ_Qgod8T0A9g&mpch=ads

    Mixbook - http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books

    Costco - http://www.costcophotocenter.com/gifts/gift_landing.aspx?q=12f16BXBMPx3RZrvXYJmA6HqciqSEv_,VXcLekQ8H28E-

    Shutterfly and Mixbook are cheaper than Costco Smiley smile

    @M2H, I think it should count as unique! I've got a little while still, but it'll probably consist of E-pics, and some of our regular pics (Disneyland, vacations, etc)

    @n2scrapn - I got it from Etsy. Seller is AlphabetArt. She was great to work with and I got it super quickly!

    @Mrs Hawkins - mine is similar to yours! I love that we can hang it in our new house so we can look at it all the time!

    We did something similar to Val. Except FH made them himself. We put the picture from the wedding we intend to put in there (sketched by computer) and have large matte boards for people to sing. Then we will hang them in our home.

    Love all these ideas! The guest book / wine bottles can be used as flower vases on different occasions with fresh flowers or silk and placed throughout your house. We have one of these and it makes us smile when we take it out. I have a pinterest board with some additional ideas if you want to check it out: http://pinterest.com/bottlelabels/guest-book-ideas-for-all-parties/

    We hired a film school student who will take our guests photos as they arrive for the ceremony. During the cocktail/dinner hour, they will have a chance to write a note to us about love, marriage or life.

    @Michelle - that is an awesome idea. We are planning to do a photobook from pictures from our e-shoot. You can get it through shutterfly for like 20-30.

    I am thinking about fabric squares in our wedding colors that guests would sign and then hang on a board through the ceremony reception.. (double as a back drop somewhere for the reception) and later my mom can make a quilt for us out of the squares.

    I designed a photobook online. FH proposed to me by leaving me a set of clues that led up to him asking at midnight on New Year's, so I put each clue he wrote on one page with a picture that went with it. We just have to get a couple of nice pens and guests can sign the pages.

    I'm probably going to go with the matte picture frame idea, as well. It's one of the only things that I think I would actually hang up and look at.

    We are having a picture of ours put on a canvas, and we are going to have people sign the canvas.
