Creative Guest Book Ideas

Michaila, on June 19, 2019 at 10:59 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 2 62

I'd love to hear your ideas for a creative guest book alternative we could do at our wedding. We don't have any art, so we'd love to have something from our big day to hang on our wall to remind us of everyone who came.

I know you can get those ones where you drop the little wooden hearts in or do the lovebirds in a tree or whatever, but I wonder if I can pick your brains for more ideas. We both love books (I'm a librarian) and our wedding is literature themed (he proposed Lord of the Rings style so...) and we both play a lot of musical instruments and love our cats. Plus we're massive nerds. But I want this to be something nice we can keep on our wall forever.

Any thoughts? Anyone else do an alternative guest book? Thanks!

(typing this, ironic, I know, the librarian doesn't want a book for once in her life lol, but that book's just going to sit on a shelf and never get looked at)

    We are doing this one. It’s the night sky from where/when we first met, our engagement & then our wedding day.

    We're doing a personalized whiskey barrel lid that we'll hang on the wall after. For a literary theme, maybe you could do a canvas with your favorite romantic book quote?

    I’m a librarian too!!
    We’re doing a barrel head with our names and date printed on it for people to sign. We’re getting married at a bourbon distillery so it fits!

    We purchased these whiskey barrel staves and plan to clean them up a little and have guests sign them. Planning to hang them as well.

    We are doing our home countries in a canvas. I'm doing it myself but I've seen some with the states in a canvas. Maybe check that out

    I had a Travel Book made and I’m going to add the first few pages from our first trips together and then guests will add pics from our photo booth (passport photos) and give us Bucket List suggestions for future travels.

    We are having a self uniting ceremony so we dont have an officiant, we only legally need two witnesses. So instead of a guest book we're asking guests to sign our marriage certificate.

    Our wedding is UFC themed and FH is making us a mock fight poster of the two of us that people will sign. We plan to hang it up in our house along side the other posters after the wedding 😊
    (We met at a UFC fight, he asked me to be his girlfriend at a UFC fight, it’s really all we do on weekends 😂 We’re just UFC people.)

    We will be getting a drawing or watercolor painting of our venue and will be having guests sign around it. Something like this but using a different artist found on Etsy.
