We carry wedding guest books that are unique, contemporary and traditional.  Any choice you make would be a good one.  But you should give careful consideration as to what you want inside it's pages.  After all, what good is it if you never look at it?  A beautiful silk covered guestbook will end up in a box in the attic just as fast as a $12.00 one if all that's inside it is a list of people's names.

 

Here's a few suggestions that will get people beyond signing just their names, and make that book something worth reading each year on your anniversary.

 

• Use Photos.  Have a bunch of photos of the two of you both as a couple and as individuals scattered around the guest book.  Instruct the guests to take one, put it in the book, and write a caption balloon next to it with something funny inside.

 

• Give your guests some direction. Before the reception even begins, have your bridesmaids write their entries in the guest book..   Most often, people will take their lead and you'll have a whole guestbook full of fun, short well wishes!

 

• Make your guests think.  This is a really great idea, yet your guests spend very little time writing their thoughts down.    Have your wedding guest book attendant instruct people as they come in that they must write some words of advice to the couple in exactly six words.  Not five.  Not nine.  Six.

 

Here's a few to put in the book to get them started:

 

We're spending this Christmas with who?

No, we don't need directions, dear.

Put the cap back on the toothpaste.

Admit you are wrong.  Make up.

Don't ever go to bed angry.

Love and cook with reckless abandon.
