Wedding Guest Book Store - Wedding Memory Books

 

A wedding guest book creates a permanent keepsake to remember your special event and can help you record the highlights of your wedding day. Friends and family often appreciate the chance to pen special sentiments to the happy couple, and you'll love taking out your wedding guest book and pouring over the memories in years to come.  

 

Place the Wedding Memory Book in a Prime Location at the Wedding Reception
A wedding guest book isn’t any good to the couple if guests don’t see it or sign it, so it needs to be in a location that the guests will gravitate to. Place your wedding memory book near the entrance of the reception and have a sign encouraging guests to sign the wedding book or whatever item the couple is using as a guest book.

Give instructions if it’s not straight forward, so guests will know what to do. For example, don’t just sit out a large piece of wood and permanent markers and expect guests to use it as a guest book. In this case, the couple could have a poster beside it saying, “Sign our wood guest book. We’re turning it into a bench for our garden.” 

   

  

 

  

 

Ask one or two of the bridesmaids to go to each table during the reception to encourage people who didn’t sign the guest book on their way in to do so. This will remind guests who didn’t see it or didn’t wait to sign it to go and sign it. Decorate the guest book table, so the wedding guests will want to walk over in the direction of the guest book. Place flowers or framed pictures of the couple on the table to make more enticing.  

 

Here are some more tips to get the most of your wedding guest book:

  • Add happy snaps. You may like to ask your guests to bring along a photograph of themselves with either (or both) of you.  They can paste the photograph into your guest book and make some comments on your history together and their favourite memory of you.
  • Inspire creativity. A great way to encourage creativity is to provide your guests with cards printed with fun questions to answer.  Questions could be "How did you first meet the bride and groom?", "Share a funny story about the bride or groom," "Who were you most looking forward to seeing today," or "What advice do you give the happy couple to make their marriage work?"
  • Try a DIY guest book.  Pass around pages of loose stationery for your guests to record their messages.  Bind them later in a beautiful scrapbook or album. Or choose a guest book with a twist: the ‘casual page' guest book provides cute prompts to get your guests giggling.
  • Viva la video. Or forgo a guest book altogether by asking your guests to express their best wishes to your videographer, or choose a distinctive keepsake such as a signed wedding day platter, photograph frame or heirloom quilt.
