Guest books don't get the attention that they deserve. People see them when they vacation in rental properties and attend weddings, but they rarely take the time to write something meaningful, let along write down their name. Your wedding guest book could be the perfect way for you to remember your wedding day. You'll be able to flip through it and see well wishes and beautiful messages from your friends and family members who attended. If you want to have this precious keepsake you need to make sure that people use your book, and in order for them to write in it they need to want to contribute. If you want your guests to leave you with some beautiful memories, try some of these unique spins on the traditional wedding guest book. Use a Camera If you want your guests to fill out your guest book and have fun doing it, all you need a disposable camera (you could use a digital camera, but if it gets broken or lost you'll have to pay a significant amount of money to replace it). Leave the camera next to your guest book with a message that asks the book signers to take a picture for the happy couple. If you want to ensure that you match the picture with the words, ask the guests to hold up the guestbook page they signed in the picture. Ask for Advice As a newlywed you're going to be getting a lot of advice, and a lot of it is going to unsolicited from the various florists, tailors, and co-workers you encounter. Your wedding guests are the people who love and care about you the most, and their advice is the advice that you want. Instead of having them write a typical guest book message, ask your guests to write some of the best advice they have for having long and loving marriage. You'll be touched by what you read, and some of those messages could get you through some future rough patches. Make An Interesting Display Some people like to put a twist on the traditional guest book by having their guest book comprised of unconventional objects. Try picking out a nice jigsaw puzzle (tip: pick up the puzzle after you have all of your RSVPs and match the piece count to the number of guests to ensure that everything gets used) and have your guests write a message on the back. Or you could design guest book pages to look like leaves so that you can have a nice guest book tree. When the wedding is over you and your partner will be able to display your wedding guestbook as a work of art.
