Guestbook Ideas

Guestbooks are probably the last thing on your mind when it comes to planning your wedding. After all, you’ve got a lot on your plate - from picking a venue to finding the perfect dress. But with a little bit of effort, guestbooks can really add a personal touch to your day and provide you with a meaningful reminder of all those you celebrated with. There are so many creative and inspiring ideas to choose from, many of which aren’t even books.

Looking for a way to keep celebrating your “I Do’s” after the wedding day is over? Why not have your guests sign wine bottles? Open each bottle on a different anniversary and toast to your loved ones.

Postcards are another fun way to remind you of big day. Let your guests write notes on pre-addressed postcards. At the end of your reception, have a friend or family member take the cards home and mail them to you periodically throughout your first year of marriage.

From posters and prints to decorative plates, the options are endless when it comes to creating signed keepsakes to hang in your home.

Thumbprint guestbooks are another popular choice. While trees seem to be the most common theme, I love the whimsical look of balloons, especially in this adorable “Up” inspired piece.

Let guests write messages or create designs on squares of fabric and stitch them together into a cozy quilt after the wedding.

This beautiful bench is an amazing idea for a couple with carpentry skills and it would look perfect at the foot of your bed.

Creative guestbook displays can really add to your reception décor. I love these vibrant envelopes. Affix them to a large board or wall and let guests fill them with letters.

Having a holiday wedding? Choose a guestbook that creates a festive feel. If you’re getting married in December, ornaments like these can be signed or decorated and hung on your Christmas tree.

Guestbooks can also reflect a hobby or interest you and your fiancé share. Music fans, for example, can use an instrument or even old records as a guestbook. I love the idea of everyone signing the album with your first dance song.

Maybe board games are more your style. Have guests sign pieces from your favorite game and you’ll get to see their well wishes every time you play.

For something even more unique, try a custom jigsaw puzzle. Personalization options can include your names and wedding date or even a favorite photograph.
