Every wedding is incomplete without guests. Everyone wants their loved ones to be there with them on their special day. You will include your closest relatives, friends, and cousins in your list of guests when you make your invitations. But simply inviting them to the party is not enough. They must have played a role in bringing you and your partner closer together, must have helped you get through difficult times and much more. You can’t expect them to show up and then leave your wedding without having fun.
The wedding day, although filled with wonderful moments, is over in a blink of an eye. You can look back at your wedding photos and remember a wonderful day, but a guestbook is another way to make it a lasting memory. The guestbook will be a wonderful memory for many years and remind you of those who were there to witness your wedding vows.
Today, there are many options when it comes guest books. Here are 7 unique wedding guest book ideas!
Pinata Guestbook
Pinatas are the cutest thing ever! Pinatas would be a great wedding guestbook. Ask your guests to leave notes in a Pinata. It can be a beautiful piece of art for your home and remind you of a wonderful day. You can enjoy reading the notes.
Choose a phone guestbook
Why limit your guests’ signatures, when they can express themselves? Each message is more effective with voice. You can store a vintage phone that records voicemails in your home as a decorative piece. You can ask your guests to leave messages. These could include advice, good wishes, memories from the past, or any combination thereof. You can listen to the messages as you reflect on your beautiful wedding.
Try out a typewriter
The best vintage wedding component is a typewriter. Your guests will enjoy typing messages on the typewriter.
Wedding Video Guestbook
In recent years, video guestbooks have become increasingly popular as they allow couples to relive their wedding memories. A wedding guestbook was once a difficult task, but now that there are tools to simplify the process it is much more popular. You only need to install signage at your wedding venue with a QR-code. You can have your guests scan the QR code as they enter and record themselves. Automating your videos allows you to save time by storing them all in one location. Then you can work on the final edits, and add music to your liking. Your guests will also appreciate the convenience of not having to download applications or sign in to take a video.
Puzzle guestbook
Most of your wedding guests will not be familiar with each other. For them to enjoy the wedding fully, they need to establish some form of contact. A puzzle guestbook is a great way to start conversations. Ask your guests to put together a puzzle of you and your partner. They can leave a note behind each piece. This puzzle can be installed as a frame, or canvas in your home. You can read the messages periodically.
Polaroid photos
Most people today enjoy taking pictures. However, guests may find it difficult to sign your guestbook and write messages. Install a photobooth or hang Polaroid camera around. The guests will love taking photos and may even write a message for you on the back of them! Add a frame or rope to which you can compile these polaroids.
Signing the wooden log
It is the aesthetics of a wooden log that has made it so popular as a guestbook. Ask your guests to write or sign a log that has been painted and well-finished. This can be used as a coffee-table later. You can hang it as art on the wall.
Guestbooks come in a variety of options. You can personalize your guestbook based on your hobbies and preferences. If you’re a music lover, you might want to get vintage vinyl album guestbooks. Choose the guestbook you like best. You will cherish it for many years.
