The guestbook is an element of weddings that has certainly come a long way over the years!  Gone are the standard guest sign in books with boring lines on pages.  Now couples are being inventive, fresh and fun when it comes to commemorating who attended their nuptials! We found some really unique and fun ideas and wanted to share a few that we have participated in over this past year!

Rebecca and Luke displayed a beautiful painting on which guests could leave messages and sign their name. A fun work of art for the couple to display long after the wedding is over!

Mike and Erika displayed a “Wedding Tree” on which guests added leaves by fingerprinting the branches and then signed their names. Also a fun work of art!

Josi and Cabe had their guests sign their name on their birthdays on this fun calendar. Great way to remember each of your guests and stay ahead of birthday cards!

As is the case with all wedding details, there is really no right or wrong! Use your creativity, think of aspects of yourselves that would be fun to implement into this wedding tradition! Having a beach wedding, or just love surfing? This is a fun one!

Maybe you’re in a band or play the guitar! Or maybe you just collect instruments! Why not add to the collection?
