Additional guest book?

Christine, on September 22, 2021 at 1:56 AM Posted in Planning 0 9
Hey everyone! So we purchased this alternative guest book but I just realized that it has 50 spaces for guests to sign and I have an estimate of 100 people going. Do y’all think I should purchase another small alternative guest book thing or something like a wishes jar where people write their wishes into a jar? I’ve never really gone to a wedding so I don’t really know if people even care about getting a chance to sign the guest book or not lolAdditional guest book? 1

    We had two different guestbooks, but more so because they served different purposes. One was a small book with blank pages so people can write longer messages, and the other was similar to yours where we had people sign a heart and drop it into a frame. Keep in mind that you don’t need the number of hearts for total number of guests, just enough per party since people will sign together (at least that’s what they did at our wedding).

    There's always guests who miss or purposely miss the guestbook. They'd rather have more real time with you and each other. I wouldn't buy an extra.

    I wouldn’t buy another one. Couples/families sign together.

    If you do feel like you need another one, I would just get another of the same so people don't feel like class B guests. People will find any reason to be upset.

    Couples and families typically sign together vs. individual people, so you should be fine with just this! Not everyone will sign as well.

    I agree i would not get another one - instead can people just sign the backs of those hearts? or some people like families as PP has said, will only sign one anyway

    That is cute! Speaking from much experience as a guest book attendant, couples will sign as one, and only 1/3 will sign. The rest actively avoid it even with announcements and passing the guest book around the room. Save your money or ask the photographer to get a large group photo of everyone.

    That is such a cute guestbook idea!! 😍

    I think you'll be fine with just that! Like everyone has said, couples and families typically sign together and lots of people miss the guestbook entirely!

    Hi ! We only have one guest book - an alternative one, with wooden hearts. It was really enough and we have a nice souvenir now !
