Guests books are a traditional wedding item that makes for a wonderful keepsake after the event. It reminds you of the friends and family that were able to show up for your very special day. Choosing a wedding guest book that you love enough to display later in your home allows you to keep the memories alive on a daily basis.
Our online wedding store has a fabulous array of guest books to offer that are actually books in a variety of styles. We also carry lots of wedding guest book alternatives for couples looking for something a bit different than the norm. Here's a peek at a few of those and you can always find more online at WhereBridesGo.com!
Wedding Guest Books
Having guests sign their names in a keepsake book as they enter your wedding is a tradition that has always stood the test of time. While the inside of most wedding guest books are similar, the outside of the book can be chosen to match the style or theme of your wedding. Many of the guest books we offer at WhereBridesGo.com even come as a set with a matching pen.
Guest Book Alternatives
For the couple looking for something different than the traditional book of names, these unique pieces could be exactly what you need.
Photo Frames
Asking guests to sign a matte around a favorite photo of the two of you turns your guest book into a beautiful display piece. After the wedding, you can exchange the photograph used at the reception for a wedding photo as a constant reminder of that amazing day. We have mattes that can be signed with a permanent marker and also a metal matte that comes with a special engraving scribe for guests to sign with.
Wall Hangings
If you prefer a piece of art to a photograph, we have lots of lovely wall hangings that can be matched to your wedding style. This will look fantastic set up at the wedding and even better on the wall of the home you'll share as a newly married couple.
Drop-In Frames
Another option is to use a shadow box frame that guests will drop signed items into. These are sometimes easier to write on as they can be laid down flat on the table for signing.
Home Décor
There are lots of home decor items that offer areas for guests to sign. This Oval Ceramic Signature Plate, for example, will look nice on display and can also be used for serving food when you host guests at home. A keepsake box or container can be used to collect both signatures and helpful wedding advice.
Playful Games
A guest book alternative that you can bring out to play with after the wedding can be lots of fun. Everyone gets to sign pieces that you can read over and over each time that you decide to challenge each other to a game!
