Guest book signing

View quoted message

This is my vote! A great idea to let it travel along with the crowds to give everyone enough time to sign! : )

My aunt had a similar situation for her wedding, she had it at both locations. People that showed up early signed it at the ceremony and then everyone else signed it when going in for dinner. She had either my aunt or grandma move it for her while she was off getting photos done. It provided her guests with something to do while they waited for the ceremony to start.

I would put it in the hall beside your cards table, if all those guests are coming to the dinner. if there are guests you don't think are coming to the dinner then you could always set it up at the park off to the side and have a friend set it up/ take it back to the hall.

Thank you for advises.

Mine is going on a table outside my reception. beside my card box.

Table at the reception hall! I find lots of guests will be busy socializing after the ceremony and it might get passed by.
People will fill it out as the night goes on (or add to it as the drinks start to hit )

The reception hall is a nice place! However, if you want it at your ceremony, my fiancé's brother got married and had it on a table on the way into the park. It was super nice! The lighting was beautiful with the natural sun shining on it! But it really depends on what you want.

Thank you all for the advise. It makes sense to place the guest book in the hall.

I would say inside your reception venue as then you don't have to move it and people have all evening to sign it.

Reception hall is the best place to do it, so that it won't blow away or be exposed to the weather.

Inside the reception hall!

Thank you. That is a good idea.

I would suggest in the reception hall. That way people have all evening to sign it and your MC can announce that it’s there

Thank you for the advise, Breanne. I forgot to add, most guests won't be going inside the hall before the dinner. All would be at the park for the ceremony.

I would place it on a table in the reception hall. This way you will have a lot of people sign while their coming in to the hall and if they don't get a chance (or theres a lineup), they can come back at any point in the evening.
