Wedding Guest Book: fun options

AB, CD, EF, GH...



Guest Book tables are a great opportunity to inject the personality of the bride and groom and to really make the experience fun for your guests and a great keepsake for the bride and groom.

In addition to the traditional guest book, here are some fun options to document your guests warm wishes.

RFranzDesign on Etsy and Cut The Cake Designs on Etsy sell really cute address books that you can also use for guest books.



There are a few ways you could use these:

1) One would be to just lay out an array of these sweet address cards crafted from pretty paper and have guests write a note and sign their name.

2) The other would be to have an address book in lieu of guest escort cards. How cute would it be to have each guest listed under their last name in the alphabet and then have an attendant hand them their "address card" with their table seating assignment on them. After the "address escort cards" are passed out, you could refill your file with all of the sentiments that your guests wrote out on the blank address cards.

3) You could add labels with your guests' actual address and phone information and adhere it to one side of the card. Then, you would arrange the cards like escort cards in alphabetical order (by last name) on your guest book table. Guests would then find their cards and write their sentiment on the back. When they are done, they would leave them in a tray for your table attendant to file (or for you to file later). I would definitely recommend a guest book attendant for this. A sign with clear directions could be left on the table, but for ease of guest service, I would recommend a live person.

Cute options for the Address A-Z tabs.


Fun address card papers that would look great arranged on a "guest book" table.

The Wedding Perch's Shop on Etsy has a really fun take using a slice of tree bark and a burning tool.

The Wedding Perch's tree trunk slice is burned by hand with the couple's initials. The initials are surrounded by a hand burned heart and arrow. Then, your wedding guests can sign their names directly onto the wood. The wooden memory plaque comes with a shadow box frame and a velcro attachment system so you can easily mount it after your guests have penned their names at your wedding. Such a great idea! This would look particularly beautiful on a table with woodland decorations such as a bed of green moss.



What other creative ideas have you seen for wedding guest books? I would love to hear all about them!

Party on!
