What Are You Doing For Your Guest Book?

We did Jenga guest book!

View Quoted Comment That sounds so fun!! Do you use those Jenga pieces from your guest book for games nights?

View Quoted Comment Definitely has practicality, and then you could also display the wine bottles in your home if you choose!

View Quoted Comment We haven’t yet but definitely plan to!

I'm planning on a traditional guest book. I haven't purchased one yet. But we're also having a photo booth where guests get a copy of the pics and one copy goes in a book for us and they can leave messages in that book as well. So I guess we'll have a second "guest book"

View Quoted Comment You can never go wrong with a traditional guest book! Awesome that you'll have a second one as well. I love the idea of photo guest books, I imagine that they'll be fun to look back on over the years!

Since we'll be travelling for the wedding, a lot of non-traditional guestbooks just won't work for us. We're getting a guestbook that is completely blank inside, then I'll add sticky frames for pictures and set an Instax camera on the table with the book! I know I won't look at a book of just names, but we will definitely look back on a book of photos our friends and family took during our reception!

I'm thinking about having a Polaroid camera,different colors of pens/marker, some sort of tape to attach the pictures to the book or picture corner things.

View Quoted Comment This is the same reason that we're doing a photo guest book! We know we won't look at a traditional guest book as often, but I love looking at pictures! Are you going to use the instant cameras as a DIY photo booth as well?

View Quoted Comment Love it! We're also planning on doing a photo guest book. Are you designating someone to take the photos for everyone? Or are you letting guests take their own photos to put in the book?

We won't have very many guests, and our reception is a sit down dinner at a restaurant, so I'm really not sure yet!

I haven't decided exactly yet, but I liked the idea of instant polaroid photos of our guests. They can write their wishes on the photo.

View Quoted Comment This is what my fiance and I are doing! I especially love looking at pictures, and I think they'll be great to have for years to come. Are you going to get a book for the guests to all put their photos in? Or do you think you'd have them hang the photos on a line or something?

We like the book more, but we also think about the box. Something similar, but with photos:

View Quoted Comment I like the box idea! I don't think I've seen that one before. Great way to keep them all in one place without having to worry about how guests will secure them in a book. Plus, you can always go through them later and organize them into a book yourself!

Yes, now I'm leaning towards the box too! It's brilliant ahahah Thank you for giving me such thoughts!

We did a traditional guest book similar to the ones you included above, and I also provided a video guest book option through videobooth.app - I thought it was a cute idea, but literally no one used it, LOL. Guess our guests were more traditional than I thought (or our DOC never put out the instructions and people didn't know it was an option?... everything happened so fast I have no idea!).

Advice though, don't put off the decision too long if you want one of the personalized options. I ordered ours about a month before the wedding bc I kept debating what to order, and it barely made it in time - arrived 2 days before the wedding (it did ship from the Ukraine, so that was a huge part of it). We got this one from Etsy - it was very well made and happened to fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly.
