So much has changed when it comes to the old guest book idea! Talk about obsolete. No one ever really looked at that book again anyway! I love seeing the different ideas my customers have used instead of a book.
One of my favorites is the photo I’ve included of a bench. My bride’s fiance made this bench…..knowing they were planning to buy a house and wanted a swing on the porch. They had their guests sign the bench and then he sealed it. Love it!
When my son, Zack and his wife, Kaysha were married, I bought them a platter. Guests signed the platter and then it was put in the oven to cure. They can hang it on the wall and use it for holidays for the roast, turkey or whatever!
I’ve also had one bride who’s grandmother was a quilter. She made them a quilt using 4″ blocks. Every other block was ivory and the other block colors matched their wedding colors. Each guest wrote on the ivory block with a special fabric pen. The blocks are then ironed to seal the ink. That is such a memorable item to have and use!
Pinterest has so many ideas that you can look up. Whatever you decide to do, remember it’s especially nice if you can see it and perhaps use it, like the bench, quilt or platter.
Happy Planning!
