Long gone are the days where a guestbook was literally a book guests would sign their names in. Today couples are creating unique guestbook “stations” for guests to write well wishes to the happy couple.
When choosing the design of yours think about the wedding’s theme. A vintage one may inspire you to setup a typewriter for guests to type a note. Couples who fancy themselves crafters can create a DIY station with colorful markers, stickers and stamps. Here are a few creative ideas you may want to include in your big day:
WEDDING TREE
Ask guests to create leaves on this beautiful tree with their thumbprint, creating a keepsake to hang in your home. You can also include your names and wedding date in the design. Available on Etsy for $48 by fancyprints.
JIGSAW PUZZLE
Order a custom wooden jigsaw puzzle and have guests sign each piece. You can frame it after the wedding or put it in a box and every anniversary take it out, put it back together and read what your family and friends wrote. Available in a variety of shapes on Etsy for $420 by BellaPuzzlesToo.
VINTAGE TYPEWRITERS
Whichever decade has inspired your vintage/retro/mod-themed wedding you’re sure to find a classic typewriter at Kasbah Mod for your guestbook. The site has dozens of styles to choose from and will rent them out for weddings. Prices based on style rented.
SCRAPBOOK WITH POLAROIDS
Ask guests to snap pics and glue (or double-stick tape) them into a scrapbook. Well wishes can be scribbled on the paper or on the photo. Or leave signs with sayings to hold in the photo.
