need advice- where to buy guest book- fun ideas

Hello everyone.Instead of having a pic of us that everyone signs around- I thought of having a guest book/pics of all guests that they can flip to the pic's of themselves and sign around their pic.  That way it could turn into our "coffee table book"  of sorts after the fact.Problem is, I can't seem to find the right book.  Any ideas?  I'm looking for one that can hold at least a 4X6 or 5X7pic- room around it for people to sign, write a story about the pic- whatever.  I saw some cute ones at Barnes and Noble but they are too small.  Looking for at least 8 1/2X11.   Nice leather, or weddingish look to it.I've tried Michaels and walgreens no luckthoughts?  thanks all-

    For a real coffee table look, you might want to consider one of the hardbound books that you can get at Walgreens or Shutterfly and such. Then the photo will be printed on the page. Of course that would mean you need to have the photos of everyone before you get it printed and can't put any stragglers in later. http://photo2.walgreens.com/storepage/storePageId=MemoryBooks

    I'm doing something similar with my guest book, only we are taking the pictures at the reception and I'm inserting the picture later where the guest signed the book. I am starting with a blank scrapbook and just putting in photo corners where the picture will go and leaving a clear space for the guest to write. I found some scrapbooks and albums at Archiver's in Mason and JoAnn's in the same area. Some albums are already partially decorated with space for photo's and embellishments if you don't have the time/inclination to get creative. I've also found some at Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby. Hope that helps!

    Have you tried Hobby Lobby?  We got our guest book there.  It wasn't the size that you are looking for, but we opted for a smaller one.  They had a few different sizes there, so it might be worth a shot.  GL!

    Have you looked at MyPublisher.com? If you have the pics of your guests already, then you can upload them to create your own book? I have done a book from this website and I really like how it turned out...plus they run a lot of deals and you can pick from several options as far as covers and page layouts. I really like this website. HTH!
