guest book

Has anyone had an engagement picture blown up and framed, and used it to have guests sign the mat for the guest book alternative? if so , can anyone help me figure out how big to blow up the picture, and what size frame/mat for like about 180 guests, or so?  Thanks in advance

do you plan to hang them on a wall? I think a 16X 20 frame is usually a nice size for on the wall. So do the picture in 11x14, and put it in a 16 X20 frame with a white matte that people can sign :-)
  if you want to give people a lot of space, you could do 2 of them, and use 2 different pictures. my friend did that and they look really neat hanging side by side in her dining room :-) this is one of my bigger regrets about my wedding! we just did a regular guest book that just sits on a shelf... and every time i go to my friends house and see the frames hanging with everybody's signatures, i wish i had done that for ours!!
