Guestbook overload?

I love the fingerprint tree - I'm going to get one for ours (though we only have 24 of us so might need to use a few fingers)

Are you having a 'day do' and an 'evening do'? You could do the tree for the day one and then have the notelets for the evening.

Hi and welcome!

I don't think it is too much! Most people would love to give you a little message, and if they don't want to do both, they don't have to. Any weddings I've been do I've never felt obliged to write in the guest book, more that I wanted to. Remember it's a long event too if they are there most of the afternoon and evening, they don't have to do both at once.

I don't think its an overload at all.

We are planning something similar, your guests will only sign their name on the tree so it will be nice to have something else so they can leave their best wishes. tips/ advice etc too.

If you have the fingerprint tree I think it's worth having an explanation with what it is and if there's anyone that can mention it to people to try and make sure it's done then do that. I went to a wedding and didn't do the one they had because I didn't understand what it was!

Hi, I have also thought of doing both. I also liked the idea of a print of a photo of the two of us that people could sign and we could then frame at home, but I think three different types of guest books could be a bit too much. I think go with both and as others have said, if people don't want to do both, then they don't have to.

I had three ways - colouring pages, note cards and a poster to colour in. They were all used - I liked the idea people had different ways to do it

Hi

Guest Books, whatever they may be are a great keepsake from any wedding. Guests love to leave personal messages. Have you seen a guest book puzzle? These go down REALLY well at any wedding and make a great talking point for your guests.

Hi Racat :0) I don't think it's overload either. My dad is painting us a thumbprint tree and we are having it just inside the reception entrance (with explanation, wipes etc) we are getting our guests to 'sign in' on arrival..... A bit like doing a tequila slammer on entry to a party, but hopefully less messy lol! You could either have both things placed together, or I think I'd be inclined to have the 'message' bit next to the postbox/ on the card and gift table if you're having one. Xx

Love the puzzle idea too

"I think sometimes B2Bs get caught up in all of the ideas and trends in magazines etc, we forget the rest of the world has no idea!!i" s this is true

I have had a few bride and Grooms that say we had a book or somthing that nobady had wrote in, You need to give someone the job to go around and point out what you have and tell people what they have to do (if they want to)

The shot below was from awedding that had a poleroid camera going around with people writing a mesage in the white space, they were then all peged up on string for all the other guests to see
