I'm trying to think of something creative to do with the guestbook. I'm really not a fan of the list your name and address kind of thing. It just seems like a record for sending thank you cards, is really impersonal, and I'll probably just throw it away later. A name and address isn't a great way to bring up memories, you know?
I did some looking around on line and found "guestbooks" where you have a plate or poster or other keepsake for guests to sign that you can display later. But I have the same issue with that as I do the normal book. It's just a list of names that's going to do nothing for me later.
I did come across a great idea where you have a notebook of blank paper and a Polaroid camera. Guests can take pictures of themselves having fun at the party, put it in the book, and then write something. That sound much more valuable and like something I could treasure over the years.
I was wondering what other ideas people might have.
