Guest books
welcome your guests into either your wedding ceremony or your wedding reception.
Guest books are a great way to remember who attended the biggest day of
your life. Asking people to sign the
book will add a personal touch to an already momentous occasion.
You can use the book when you go to write your thank you notes, to start
an address list, or to look back and remember the day you got married.
Unfortunately, some wedding guest books are lovingly filled in but just
end up in a dusty old closet. Want to make yours a hip modern thing of beauty
that you'll love to look at? Let us offer some great wedding guest book ideas
that are sure to make yours a lasting treasure:
·
Take care to make sure every guest signs it!
You may consider this to be a no-brainer perhaps, but the last thing
you need or want is a wedding guest book that is half empty. To make sure this
doesn’t happen, assign a member of the bridal party or other trusted friend to
stand near it and ask guests to sign as they enter the party. Encourage your
attendant to ask the guests to put a personal note next to their name for an
added extra special touch. This way, your
guests will know you were thinking about them and that you are excited they
choose to share your big day with you.
You should also bring it to the rehearsal dinner, so that your closest
friends and family have extra time to sign-they may be too busy the actual day
of your wedding.
·
Your wedding guest book can have some interaction.
Adesso
albums and a Polaroid camera make a great wedding guest book. These simple
but extremely well made books have a slot especially sized for a Polaroid,
allowing your friends and family to take a photo of the fun they're having. You
can easily slip the photo into the slot with plenty of room to add an extended
note. The photos can always be added at a
later time in an effort to cut down on the guest book line.
·
Add a personal touch to each guest’s signature.
Rather than your guests just
writing down their name, address, and a short "Congratulations", have your
attendant ask them to write their favorite memory of you, your partner, or even
a short piece of advice for a happy marriage.
You can use pat of your wedding invitations to ask guests to bring a
special photograph or other token that can be included in your book.
·

creative! You don't have to stick to a guest book. Choose from any
