The wedding guestbook is one of those planning ideas that’s rooted in tradition, but has the ability to be transformed to suit the nature of a couple’s tastes, the event’s theme or the location of the ceremony. As you’re putting together your ideal wedding day, this is the perfect place to show off your creative flair and take those messages of love and friendship to new heights. Here are a few unique ways to pull it off!
- Puzzles
Blank puzzle pieces make for a fabulous guestbook idea and each can be signed by your attendees when they walk in the door. When the puzzle is reassembled, this will be a wonderful piece of décor to add to your new home.
- Quilt
Wedding quilts have also become very popular and are made by asking each guest to sign a piece of fabric. After the pieces are collected, they can be sewn together to make a gorgeous expression of the love and admiration that your friends and family have for you!
- Bucket List
Tapping into the creativity of your guests is another strategy that could produce some great results. Place a stack of papers and a bucket near your entrance and ask your guests to tell you what they think should be added to your “wedding bucket list.” This will surely produce its share of heartfelt and comical responses!
- Photo Guestbook
We are truly in the age of the “selfie,” so why not ask your attendees to show off their photography skills? Place a digital camera next to your guestbook and ask your guests to take pictures. You can arrange the photos into a collage for your home and even share them on social media after your big day.
- Monogram Letters
Replace the standard guestbook with a wooden carving of you and your significant other’s initials in the color of your choice. Give your guests permanent markers to sign the piece, and you’ll have a striking new piece of wall art to add to your home that will carry the message of love from your family and friends.
