Picture/Canvas as Guestbook

AmandaK, on June 12, 2017 at 10:23 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 1 22

Has anyone had an engagement/couples photo printed on a large canvas to use as an alternative guest book? I'm interested in doing so I can frame & hang it up after the wedding. We have some beautiful shots to choose from that have negative space and perfect for several signatures.

*Using stock Google image*

PROs/CONs?

    We haven't done it yet, but that's what we are doing for our guestbook. Ours will be extremely large though, 8 feet by 10 feet.

    I'm debating it but i want to have a big border for them to sign in so the signatures aren't on the photo itself.

    We ordered this alternative guestbook (their stock pic). The states represent where we are from and the hearts match the city we lived in. You can have it printed on matte paper or a canvas. It is an awesome alternative to the traditional guestbook.

    I've heard that you can go to walmart and get a picture printed fairly large in black and white. I think its what contractors use to print building plans. Also I think its super cheap. Worth looking in to!

    Not a canvas, but we are doing a photobook.

    Waiting until Shutterfly has a good sale then doing a basic photobook with photos as we age, family pics, friend pics and photos as a couple.

    Lots of blank spaces for people to sign on various pages.

    My family surprised me with one for high school grad party and I cherish it still!!

    No experience with doing one but I highly recommend canvasdiscount.com! They're great quality for a great price. I got one for my MOH as her gift.

    We aren't doing a canvas but we are getting a large picture printed with thick matting for people to sign. I love the canvas idea though if you have a photo that would work for it!
