I came across this and thought it was so cool. My FI and I are thinking of using it for our Oct. 2011 purple and green wedding.  This is a great item to keep forever by framing and hanging on your wall.  Plus if you worried about guest hands being dirty just wrap a box of baby wipes all nice at the table.

    You never posted what it was....but I am assuming its the Guest Book Tree?? "Leaf a Thumb Print and Sign Your Name"? I see those on Etsy.com all the time and want one soo bad!!!

    I gave in and made a guestbook with our engagement pictures on Mixbook.com but am still considering the guestbook tree bc, as you said, it would be great piece of art to place in your home, as well as a nice memory to see all the wonderful people who shared that special day with you and your hubby. =)

    I was going to try to think of something creative, but I ended up ordering a book from picaboo.com (they are FREE, 20 pgs leather cover, until the end of the month) and I think it turned out great!

    I'm doing the thumbprint tree. My MOH works with a graphic artist/printer and she had him do it for me.

    The thumbprint tree was our runner up, but we went for the silly madlibs instead =)

    I'm sure that thumbprint tree can turn out so pretty!! Cant wait to see it.

    That sounds like a cute idea.  We are having guest book frames.  We are our photographer enlarge one of our engagement photos and having it matted and framed.  The mat will be larger enough for people to sign.

    Now we just need to pick out which picture to use...

    we bought little ink pads from joanns and michaels. They're actually JUST the right size for thumbs. 

    Ours is printed on canvas. 

    Its perfect for our wedding because we're getting married in a garden- fits the theme well.

    Sure! I took the idea from TheKnot earlier this year, and combined it with another one I randomly found online and made it in Publisher. They turned out cute! Sending it now! =)

    Here is a super cute artsy guest book idea that I found earlier this year.  Guests leave their fingerprint (mafde with colorful, washable ink) and sign a little not...so cute! You can see more about it here: http://shaycochranephotography.com/blog/?p=2173
