Guest book Table decor Ideas needed

I'm looking for things to place on my guest book table.  The picture below is the srea it will be set up, its the foyer area before you go into the ballroom of the pavilion.   This area is to the left of the main entrance doors. We are doing open seating and a buffet meal, so I can't put seat or escort cards.

The basket I'm using for our programs will go here too. I plan to do paddle fan programs, even though our wedding is at the end of Sept, the avergae high can be 70 degrees. Do you think I need paddle fans or ust do regular programs? Programs are a must since most of our families do not now each other.

The table will be a 8ft rectangle table with white linen and a navy table square turned diamond shape on it. Any ideas on how to fill the table?  I do have a extra 5 candle holder (next picture) I can use.  I do plan on an 8x10 sign asking guests to sign, just gotta figure out the wording.

***Edited to add***
The wedding and reception are in the same location.  Weather permiting the wedding will outside on the back lawn, you go thru the ballroom (where the reception is set up) to the outside where the wedding will be.

  • I don't know if there is an outlet near the table but we did a digital photo frame with pictures of me and DH throughout our life and dating years.  Maybe pick out some photos of you and your FI to put in nice frames and scatter on the table.  Or if you have pictures of married family members from their wedding day (like parents, grandparents, etc.) you could use those.

  • I like the digital photo frame idea.  I have a 7 inch one already.  Its kinda of sad, I'm always the one behind the camera I don't have a lot of pictures of us together!  I need to comb thru our family and see what they have of us together.

  • Candles!!!! Try and find some candle holders and large candles.  Vases with water and a floating candle. 

    YOu can put your program basket, card basket (make sure it gets put away before the ceremony) your sign, pens, guestbook.  We also had ready to mail CD's for guests who take additional pictures and they could take those CD's home and then send them to the bride and groom.

  • I think that will do it.  I'll use the candle holder or add a couple taller holders from hobby lobby, and then I'll place my card box, program basket, & guest book, along with some floral decor.  That should fill up the table without looking to overloaded

  • Our entrance table had the guest book, a picture of me and my H, a picture of my parents, a picture of his parents, the program basket, a basket of kid's wedding coloring/activity books, and a collage that my BMs made for my shower that was filled with pics of me and my H when we were kids.  There might be a pic in my married bio.
