Ideas and Inspiration – Alternative Guest Book Ideas

This afternoon I am bringing you a bit of wedding inspiration, in the form of these alternative guest book ideas. Many brides and grooms love the idea of a book that their guests can sign, however from my personal experience, the book never gets signed by everyone, no matter how hard a designated bridesmaid may work at circulating it around your wedding party. Because of this there has been a huge rise in finding new and inventive ways for your guests to get involved. I see so many fab ideas in the weddings I post, so I thought today I would share some of the most popular ones with you. Guests like to get involved, they like activities to do during the wedding reception, so why not get them interacting with your guest book.

Here are a few of my favourite………..

Photo booths and Polaroid cameras at weddings have become really popular over the last few years, so what better way for you to remember your guests than to have them take a photo of themselves. The photo then gets stored with a message or on its own. This is what I did for my own guest book. (photo source – top, bottom left, bottom right)
