I found this really great leather bound book that I wanted to use as a guest book but FI laughed and said it looked like it was out of Harry Potter (ok...maybe a little..). He then asked if we even need a guest book.....fair question. I like the idea of being able to look back to see who we invited to our wedding...but isn't that what photos are for? I'm not really a huge fan of any of the alternative guest book ideas (puzzle, stones, etc). We're having a more formal affair and I don't want something that looks too DIY.
What are your guest book thoughts? Necessary? To you married folk - have to you looked at your guest book? Should I just find a nice book that FI and I both like? lol
