Guest books - any recommendations?

MISSMAYFLOWER, 22 March, 2011 at 17:57 Posted on Planning 0 15

Where did you all get your guestbooks from? Roughly how much did they cost?

any alternative ideas as to a traditional guest book? we were wondering about postcards that linked to the table names people were on but not sure if logistically this will be hard!

any ideas welcome - i seem to be finding lots of things i need to sort at the moment!

    We didn't fancy a traditional guest book so we're using Blurb to create a photobook from our engagement pics and other pics of us - we'll leave some pages blank for people to write on.

    If we weren't doing this I would've gone for the postcard idea though, or one of these fingerprint trees, there's quite a few on Etsy:

    We are having postcards for guests to write on. Our TOG is staying late to take pics of our evening guests.

    We will then then match photo's up to the postcards and make a photobook, ,

    Hi

    I can make personalised guestbooks so feel free to have a look at my website.

    However if you want something different, when my brother got married in Dec they did a photobook of pictures of them through their relationship and then people wrote around the photos. It worked really well

    We're thinking of having a canvas with a picture of the two of us in the middle with space around the outside for everyone to write in. Then we can put it up on the wall after the wedding

    We're going to get a scrapbook from Paperchase then ask people to write their messges on a postcard and put them in it. My MOH is a keen photographer so she's offered to take pics of everyone too to put in there

    Hi,

    I made mine myself. Just bought a plain guest book off ebay. It did have guest book embossed in small silver letters but my craftiness has covered it.

    Some fab ideas here from people. I've no idea what I'm having. I like alternatives to tradition so I won't be having a guest book but I do like the postcard idea! What would the guests do with the postcards once they've written on them?

    I to am doing the postcard idea, ive got 200 postcards off good old Vista, they can be written on the back and then i'll stick them in my guestbook with pictures in.

    I went to a friends house that got married last august and she got her guest book out and it was barely written in ☹️ this is why i want to do it the postcard way.

    I ordered 100 Free postcards today off Vistaprint too. I have put a message on the front with instructions to post them in our wishing well/post box for us to read and use as a keepsake. Just not sure whether to put them at guests place settings or leave by the box for posting ?
