Mixbook Guestbook Questions

Hi Ladies,

I know a few of you have mentioned making your guest books on Mixbook. I have some questions for you:

1. Did you use any of the existing guestbook templates? If so, which one?
2. If you used the contemporary guest book, did you modify the pages that list Bride/Groom families or did you delete them?
3. Did you modify the Wedding Party pages? We only have 1 attendant each so it seems like a lot of wasted space on a page.
4. How long did it take for your book to arrive?

I started a book since I have the Groupon, but it is starting to feel like its more hassle than its worth.  Anyone have any tips on how to simplify this process?  Shall I not worry about the family or wedding party pages? Would it be bad if I just left them blank? 

Anniversary

    I scrapped the template and did my own thing.  Or I kept the template and modified it to how I want; I can't remember.  I don't have anything about guest really.  Other than the date, where we got married and then I have pages for people to leave advice or how they know us.  Not really a spot to sign in but I wish I did do that. I didn't think about it. I know we posted picks on a thread somewhere let me see if I can find it and copy it here. Oh it didn't take long to come in if I remeber right I think a week or so.

    Here is a link to that thread. I think I just used the template put modified it and added stickers and things I like from other pages.  It is quite a chore making the book but the end product is worth it.

    I used the template for Contemporary wedding album and then modified it as I went along.

    The book came out GREAT!!!

    Took about a week to receive.

    Yea i'm not sure i know what you mean. I just used the contemporary template and created it to my liking. I dont remember seeing anything about brides family or guests. For the most part i just added the pictures and edited some of the "bubbles" with the words in em.

    There are pages in the book for you to list parents, grandparents, etc as well as bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls and ring bearers. Since my FI doesn't have his parents I want to delete those pages.  Since we only have a MOH and BM in the wedding party, I don't see the need to have those pages.  Did anyone modify those pages to fit the size of their wedding party?
