New Takes On Guest Books

By Renee Lee - CTW Features | posted on August 10, 2012 at 5:00am

Unique ideas to give guests a fun way to extend their best wishes

All guests have been prodded through the guest book line before. Instead of a simple book, though, here are some alternative ways to make your guest book fun for guests to participate in and a memorable keepsake for you for years to come.

Jenga

Have guests write messages on regular old Jenga tiles and stack into a Jenga stack!

Plates

Buy a plate, use a porcelain pen for guests to write messages and bake for 30 minutes. It will be permanent.

Quilt

Make or buy a fabric quilt and supply your guests with markers. Making the quilt could be a great task for bridesmaids.

Polaroid pictures

Grab some Polaroid cameras and set up a space where guests snap photos and write notes. The collection will make a great keepsake or decoration for the couple’s new home together.

Decorative stones

Grab some decorative stones from a craft store and provide permanent pens/markers for your guests to sign.

Sign Anything

Instead of signing a book, sign anything else you can display. Perhaps it’s a piece of artwork you’re looking to get framed, a poster of a favorite movie, or a book.

Calendars

Hit two birds with one stone by asking guests to sign on the day of their birthday. You’ll have the birthdays of all your favorite people in one place!

The Speeches

Dear Jen,

I’m concerned the best man is going to give an inappropriate wedding toast. What should I do?
