Wedding Guest Book Alternatives

Wedding guest books are one of the essential bridal accessories that you will need in your wedding reception.  Typically, it is a bound book with lines for your guests’ names, their physical address and sometimes, a space for a short note for you and your new hubby.  So stale and unoriginal, isn’t it?  Wouldn’t it be refreshing to find some unique wedding guest book alternatives to “wow” your guest?  Look no further, gathered below are great alternative ideas for your wedding guest book.

Small note cards with matching envelopes – Choose card colors and/or design that match your wedding theme.   Stack these cards and envelopes on a table outside your reception hall and ask your guests to share their thoughts, “marriage wisdom” or simply congratulatory note on these cards.  The cards will be placed inside the matching envelopes and simply dropped into a decorated wish glass jar, like the one shown from www.kindnotes.com .  These private messages can then be opened later to be enjoyed by you and your new husband.

 
Guest book frame – Leave a picture frame with mat on a table or stand at the entrance of your reception and have your guests sign the mat around your engagement picture.  Pick a mat that is big enough to accommodate all the signatures of your guests.  A frame that holds up to 250 signatures is pictured below.  This Guest Book Frame is made of black wood veneer and measures 18 1/2″ by 22 1/2 inches. Provide your guests with an acid free fine point pen to preserve their signatures for years to come. The frame will make a cherished keepsake for your new family.
