Hanging Guestbook Sign

A fun alternative is a hanging guestbook sign where guests sign and you can later display it in your home. This way, you’ll be reminded of your loved ones every time you see it.

  • Considerations: Use markers that are visible on the material and have someone from your wedding party sign first to guide other guests.

Photo Book Guestbook

Create a photo book guestbook by printing your engagement photos and leaving space for guests to write messages next to the images. After the wedding, you can keep it on display or on a coffee table to enjoy anytime.

  • Considerations: Use pens that won’t bleed through the pages, and have a wedding party member sign first to show guests how to participate.

Polaroid Guestbook

For a playful, interactive option, provide a Polaroid camera for guests to take instant photos, then glue them into a guestbook alongside their messages. This also works well if you have a photo booth with printouts.

  • Considerations: Supply pens, glue dots or tape, and plenty of film. Designate someone to refill the camera as needed.

Bible Guestbook

If you’re having a Christian wedding, consider a Bible guestbook where guests highlight favorite verses and leave notes. Personalized versions with your new last name make this even more meaningful.

  • Considerations: Provide highlighters that don’t bleed through and a sign explaining how guests should participate.

Audio Guestbook

For a guestbook that doesn’t involve writing, try an audio guestbook where guests leave voicemails for you to enjoy after the wedding and for years to come.

  • Considerations: Assign someone to manage the setup and ensure it’s working properly, and include a sign with instructions for guests.
