Who says a guestbook has to be a book?

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and you will never forget the big or small details, such as the look on your bride/groom’s face when you first saw each other, the song you danced to for your first dance, the way the reception looked… But years from now, will you remember all of the guests that were there to share your special day? Probably not off hand; this is where guestbooks will save your brain the homework!

Most people have attended a wedding where there is a guest book left at an entrance table where guests can sign and maybe even write some advice to the newlyweds, but unfortunately those guests books are often forgotten over the years.  Whether they are boxed up or even placed on a shelf, they are usually overlooked as life moves on. 

It doesn’t have to be this way though… Below are some creative guestbook ideas we came across that you can place around the home to remember who was there to celebrate with you. We hope you enjoy them and don’t forget to stay tuned for updates on our upcoming weddings!
