Wedding Guest Book Ideas

Yes, wedding guests books matter. Someday you will want to go back and read the wonderful well wishes and advice from your guests. Instead of doing a book where people just sign their name do something that will double as home decor.

Here are some must have ideas you need to think about when deciding what will fit your personality and style for the wedding.

Wine Bottles

If you and your fiance love a nice bottle of wine consider getting a bottle that needs to age over time. Have your guests sign the bottle and then on your 10th or 20th anniversary celebrate by opening it.

Envelop Guest Books

Words of advice from your wedding guests can be humorous and meaningful. Having them write them down on cards and placing them in envelopes inside a book is the perfect coffee table idea. You can find small cards like the ones in the photo below on Etsy.

File Card Guest Book

I love this idea. Instead of a book you can have an address file box. Your guest can write their wishes on an index card and file them away for you alphabetically to look at later. Need the cards? I found the ones below on Etsy.

Thoughtful Trees

Have your guests follow the Japanese custom by tying their sentiments to tree branches with ribbons. Make sure you have a sturdy vase for the branches.

Also along the same lines is a wedding tree. Have your guests put their thumb print on a branch with their names underneath it. You will be able to frame your wedding tree after the wedding.

Keepsake Box or Book

Have your guests sign cards and place them in a keepsake box or book. You can even have them put them inside a small birdcage.

Photo Engagement Books

Having your guests sign their wishes next inside an engagement photo guest book will make for a perfect coffee table addition. Talk to your photographer and see if they provide engagement photo guests books for your day.
