Do You Have to Have a Guest Book at a Wedding?

While it is not mandatory to have a wedding guest book, it is a lovely idea! Wedding guest books are typically quite affordable so they make a great addition to the day.

What is a Wedding Guest Book Used For?

A wedding guest book is usually laid out at the reception so that wedding guests can sign their name and write well-wishes to the happy couple. It serves as a lovely keepsake and memory book to look back on of all the people who were there to help celebrate your special day. 

It's also a brilliant way to entertain your wedding guests as they'll have a lot of fun thinking of and writing personal messages. 

Where Should the Guest Book Be at a Wedding?

Where your wedding guest book is located will depend upon the layout of your wedding venue, however, putting it near the entrance of the wedding reception for your guests to sign upon arrival is a popular choice. 

If stationing it next to the entrance isn't ideal, consider placing it in a spot that has enough space for your guests to comfortably write without feeling rushed. Remember to keep it somewhere that can easily be seen so your friends and family don't forget to sign it before the end of the night. It's worth nominating someone in your wedding party to remind guests to sign.

What Kind of Pens Do You Use For a Wedding Guest Book?

It is important to use a pen that wont smudge or smear across the pages. We recommend using an ultra-fine tip pen so that each message doesn't take up too much space, and the ink won't transfer through. An acid-free pen is also a good idea for a wedding guest book as the ink won't fade over time or damage the paper.
