Guest books in some shape or form make an appearance at almost all weddings. Another book to sign, another book to put away on the bookshelf to get dusty - ummm NO! Below are my Top 10 Guest Book ideas that will wow your guests as well as give you a keepsake you can actually showcase/use as home decor.
10: wish bowls - place these at your tables and have guests write wishes that you can later read/put in a wedding scrapbook
9: special item that reflects the couple - if you're musicians have your guests sign a guitar. Baseball fans? How about signing a baseball?
8: quilt - send swatches of fabric along with your invitations so that guests have time to write something very special and bring it to the wedding. Then just assemble the fabric into a quilt.
7: wedding tree - have people leave a fingerprint along with their signature comment on a printed tree. It'll create a "leafy" effect that you can then frame and hang in your new home.
6: postcards - collect postcards from where the two of you have travelled and have guests sign these. Or prestamp them and have guests send them to you at a later date.
5: wine bottles - have your guests sign wine bottles with a silver sharpie. Label each bottle "1st Anniversary" "2nd Anniversary" etc and open each one accordingly. This will allow you to enjoy the "guestbook" annually.
4: coffee book of favorite places/something special to you as a couple - coffee books usually have tons of pictures and plenty of space for your guests to write something special.
3: plates - OBV! As you saw in yesterday's post plates make great guestbooks. Your guests will sign them and you will hang them. Win win.
2: photo booth - this idea we LOVE. Who doesn't love photobooth photo streams? Your guests will have fun taking photos - they'll get to keep one copy and the other copy goes into a book that the guests sign.
1: time capsule - this is definitely our favorite. Your guests write messages for your 1 year 5 year and 10 year anniversary and drop it into a tin can and you open these up at the appropriate anniversaries. How amazing will it be on your 10 year anniversary to open up a time capsule with your family and friends' warm wishes??? For premade time capsules check out Gifts Baskets Etc.
