What’s one thing that almost all weddings have in common? A guest list! Whether your guest list consists of 2 or 200, these are the people that will be surrounding you as you make your vows as husband + wife. Your guests are there to celebrate with you + wish you well + you don’t want their kind words to be forgotten. Traditionally, guest books are placed out during the cocktail hour. This is the time where the guests at your wedding can take a moment to sign their name + write a personal message if they wish. A guest book is a wonderful keepsake to take away from your wedding day. Typically, guest books are just that, books. However, many couples are becoming more creative + coming up with unique + fun ideas for their guest “book.” Below are some inspiring ideas + pictures for an alternative to traditional guest books. Remember to stick with what fits your personality + overall theme of the wedding. It should be something from your wedding day you can always cherish!
