Today I spent some time sending Natasha (my bride) some ideas for a cool guest book. We’re definitely working on a tight budget, but there are so many good, easy, financially satisfying ideas out there. Let me show you what I mean.
I love the idea of having a custom couple portrait commissioned. How cool would it be to have your guests sign the background of these cool items? The drawing is to die for, but the silhouette is so sweet too! I almost forgot about this laser cut silhouette. Sigh- gorgeous. Decisions, decisions. Oh but wait! Check out these other ideas before you commit.
Avid reader? Into music? Want a memorable art piece of your wedding city? So you’re a bookworm. How about having a custom blank book made with your names and wedding date? Having guests write notes to you on library cards would be cute too. Or- you could set out vintage (if possible) editions of you and your groom’s favorite books and have the guests sign in the margins.
Oh so you’re more into music than books? No worries. Have a custom LP made. Sooo budget friendly! Josh and I have tons of old, useless LP’s laying around. All we would need to do is custom make the label (easy enough) and then frame the LPs. Perfection. I’m totally hoping Natasha picks this because her husband is a musician. Another fun thing would be to have your first dance song’s sheet music framed. The guests could write between the lines. How sweet. Anyhow, if you’re more into commemorating the day with an art piece, try getting a poster of your wedding city. This would be especially fun if you were to have a destination wedding.
Other ideas- get a large wooden letter representing your new last name from your local craft store. Paint it and have guests sign. Whala. Gorgeous. You could also have them write advice/well wishes on beautiful note cards. there are inspired by France. Since a Parisian vintage wedding these could totally work!
Having a photo book made of your old photographs or engagement photos for guests to sign seems to be a fun trend that’s catching on. Think of how much you love your current photo albums. How much more would you love them if they had advice from the people you love most in the world? Other trends I adore- these cute thumb print balloons and wedding trees (with leafs the perfect size for signing).
Wishing trees are so cute too! Josh and I had our guests sign polaroid's of themselves and hung them in a frame (picture is from our wedding). Any way you go, these guest books/alternative guests books are great memory makers.
