Guest Book Ideas

Many couples want a way to remember all of the individuals who spent their special day with them, so they purchase a frilly guest book that simply gets tucked away and looked at once every five or ten years... what's the point in that?! For the couple that is looking for a more useful guest book, that is a piece of art, rather than a closet-space killer, check out the ideas below!

One idea, is to purchase, or ask a woodworker friend to create a blank puzzle for you. Have each guest sign the puzzle, assemble it, and have it framed or preserved in one way or another.


Another idea, is to purchase something that the two of you love-- have the guests sign this, instead. This couple chose to purchase a guitar, and have guests sign it.



Another idea, would be to have a poster made-- anyone with a few skills in photoshop would be able to help. Ask your engagement photographer if he or she may be able to help. This couple chose to have a concert flyer-like poster created, and had their guests sign it. This would be so great hanging on a wall anywhere in the house!


Many people opt for the fingerprint idea-- usually with a tree. Have your guests each stamp their finger on a picture of a blank tree, and sign their name. A more unique version of this, is to have guests stamp their finger as balloons! This couple chose to have their balloons carrying away the bridal vehicle. We think a cool idea would be to have the balloons lift the house from "Up!."

Regardless of what you choose to do, be sure that it is something that reflects you as a couple! After all, it is your day, isn't it?
