  Guest books inspiration/recommendations

  AutumnRose Joined on 03-Feb-2009 Posts 3,998

  Contact I have quite a few bit's a pieces left to do like table names, cameras for tables etc. Just noticed one of those on my list is guest book.......keen to get something sorted for this as i think it's a lovely part of the day to look back on.  We're having a vintage/english country theme with dusky pink and cream roses. If anyone can recommend a site of HIB to make this for us i'd be very grateful. Flashes happily received to inspire me!!!!!! 28/2/12  01/2010 and 06/2011

  Contact I am having the same theme as you and colour scheme.  I am doing a wish tree istead of a guest book as this way people can write what they like and hang their wishes/ advice for us on teh tree making it a talkign point and also a lovely decoration.  I am also thinking that anything written latter in the  evening once people have drunk alot that does not quite make the grade either grammatically or content wise will be thrown away and the rest can then be stuck into a book to keep. And Mr and Mrs T lived happily ever after (well apart from when they were arguing or not talking to each other) Joint 3rd - MIA - I am touched I never knew you cared so much !

  Contact Ah i see you have fab taste tinks269 That's a nice idea, i've been to a wedding where that worked really well. Plan with book in that one of my BMs will take it round during dinner (have one who is fab at that sort of thing) and then it'll be left open on card table in evening for people to add too. I don't really mind funny drunk comments - all adds to the day hehe!!!     28/2/12  01/2010 and 06/2011

  Contact i've been to a couple of weddings where the bride and groom have sent round a plate to be signed by all the guests and also have seen at another one a big picture of the bride and groom stuck onto a piece of white card ready to be framed that we've all been asked to sign around as well. both good mementoes of the day and doesn't have to cost a lot either. the postcards one is a good idea too as if there is anything written that really offends you can just throw that one away or not display it! you could always go for a plain guest book and then stick something on the front to customise and personalise it to your own wedding?

  22tango Joined on 28-Jun-2009 Posts 1,807	Contact I'm going to try and do something like this (in our colours) and a lot more simple -not so many containers, just two large jars/vases - where guests write their wishes on little cards and take a wish as well from us. then I'll put it together later in the wedding album. still looking for reasonable apothecary jars or equiv.
