Use it or lose it? - A guest book

Joey, on June 17, 2019 at 08:46 Posted in Wedding reception 0 26

A photo album, a canvas, a wishing jar, or a traditional book.... there are lots of ways to style a guest book. What type of guest book speaks to you? Or is this an item you're leaving off your list?

A guest book - will you use it or lose it?

    We are doing a homemade painting my mom is making with a man and woman in each other's arms and they are the tree trunk and it goes up to tree branches. Guest will put their thumbprints on the canvas to fill the tree. Than we can display it after.

    I don't think I'll bother. Does anyone ever look at them?

    We most likely won't use it, to be honest.

    That is SO CUTE! I think it's great especially if it suits you and your FH. I would love that except my FH isn't into puzzles or games of any sort Smiley sad

    I felt the exact same way!
    I didnt want a book to collect dust on a shelf so my FH and I decided on a puzzle guestbook. Its super cute and we plan on glueing it and hanging it on our wall.

    Use it! We're doing a guest log which will be varnished into a charcuterie board. That way the guests have lots of space to say hi on it

    Ugh, I don't know! I want something creative and special since I can't stand the traditional guest book, but I don't know what yet!

    Use it - We ended up buying a T-shirt from our favorite place in Cozumel and had everyone sign it. We are going to have it framed and hang it with our wedding photos.

    Use it. We haven't decided on what kind but right now we're considering having guests sign wine corks and drop them into a shadow box.

    Use it! I would have never gotten an actual book because that's a total waste and I'll never look at it. We had a large wooden board with our names and date on it and all out guests signed that and we will be hanging it up on the wall! Picture is of it before everyone signed it. We used silver sharpies and it looks awesome!

    Use it. We have a blank puzzle in the shape of a heart and each guest/family can sign a piece.

    I want to lose this so badly. I hate it. unless you do something super creative like a photo or a plate people sign, but I will not have a book that people sign and I never look at again. If we do it, it will be something creative

    Use it! We're opting for a very traditional guestbook, nothing fancy, but it's just easier for us to gather everyone's well wishes and advice all in one place!

    Use it! Great to read after the event and know who did sign the book and what message to look forward to read by them.

    Using it. We are going to do a canvas with a tree and leaves to sign. Fits in with the style.

    Use it - I know that I will for the most part know who is attending the wedding, but if we go with the picture of the sky on our wedding night then I think it would be cool to have people sign it.
