Unique guestbook ideas?

I made the most beautiful photo book on Shutterfly!

Put one photo to page and the rest blank around it for people to sign.

We have around 400 or so guests so I did quite a few pages but not a crazy amount so that the book will be filled!

I was going to go with nontraditional and do a sign or something but too often people mess those up when they are writing and eventually it'll be tucked away in storage when it doesn't match the decor !

Signature frames have become very popular and they are inexpensive.

We did a photo book with all of the pictures of us with our guests at our wedding (we only have 48 guests) and most of them are family. each guest has an area to sign and write a little comment beside their photo!

I bought picture frame with hearts for our guests book. I will put our Engagement picture up on the wedding day.

Guests Book's sample

We bought a 16x20 frame and a mat at Michaels on sale. We will blow up one of our engagement pics and remove the glass. Everyone will sign the mat and we can then swap out the pic with a wedding photo , or rotate them as time goes on. Thought it was a good way to be able to see it regularly and still have it go with our décor still 20 yrs from now even if we change up the frame.

Guest Book

ordered this off etsy and super happy with it...I love the idea of being able to display it in my house afterwards

Omg so im doing a finger print photo! i found them on ebay, you bascially have your guests do their fingerprint and sign their name.. im doing one with a champagne bottle. Theres family trees too!

Also Following. Haven’t decided either

This is similar to what we are doing:

Shadow box, wooden hearts from Michael's.

We're doing a globe. Just used a stencil to put the lettering on.

Whoops, picture didnt download in time. Here it is

We are having this made for us by someone local in my town. I wanted something that I could look at every day, and I love this! We will hang it on our living room wall after the wedding. We are switching the colors to match our theme colors a little more, but it will still be neutral and beautiful!


Im trying really hard to get as much for my wedding as I can from local businesses in my small town, and youd be amazed how many people are out there who will charge you a fraction of what you'll pay online ❤

We ordered a Guestbook tree off aliexpress.

View quoted message That is a very way to start a tradition. I love it.

Following, I haven't decided.

We are doing a photo guestbook! Either renting a photo booth or having a Polaroid camera and people will add their photo and sign beside it!

We are using "jenga" blocks. We love board games and I found 72 blocks on sale for less then $30

Not exactly DIY but easy to have printed...

I’d like to get a botanical coffee table book and have ours guests sign the pages.

Simple, free, and very sentimental... We are using my parents guestbook. Many guests went to their wedding and we will be using the next page. Maybe one day my child will continue on

My MIL made us a beautiful guestbook, where each page has one or more photo of us from over the years, and space for guests to sign. So it’s still a traditional guestbook where people leave messages, but it’s also a scrapbook at the same time. She also put some nice quotes about love throughout the book. I think our guests liked looking through the different pictures while signing it, and I absolutely love it since it’s such a personal touch.

There’s a couple of different websites that can be used to make them, such as Shutterfly or Mixbook.

I got a picture of a map from an Etsy store and had everyone sign it with coloured Sharpie's. It's now hanging above our TV for us to look at. I love it!

If you want to DIY things, you could purchase a frame that has a white mat and have people sign around it and place a picture from your wedding day in it!

We went with a guest book as its been stored safely and a reminder of whom attended and left a message.

We are getting a picture of us printed onto a large canvas (probably Walmart or maybe online) and then will have guests sign the picture. After the wedding we’ll hang it in our living room

Exactly! I totally don't want to have a true guestbook that I never look at again. I want something that is easily mountable or easily shown off in a future house/apartment.

A friend of ours got a cross-section of a tree/log to make us a custom piece as our wedding gift. We are considering turning it into our guest "book"... we would have our monogram etched/branded on it, then have people sign it with sharpie or paint pens, then varnish it to lock it in and turn it into a coffee table.

Sorry, not exactly "simple" but if you know anyone who's woodsy/good with their hands it's not too complicated!

Or go smaller and just get something big enough that can hang on the wall.

Personally I like non-traditional guestbooks, things that you have out on display, otherwise you never really look at it.
