I received my wedding photo-guestbook last night...

...and I thiiiiink I may have peed in my pants a little. But I am not confirming that fact because I've still got some dignity left.

I purchased the photobook from photobook america using a Groupon...so basically I got a book that's normally about $110 for $30.  Photobook's a bit pricier than other companies that provide this type of service and honestly, the only reason I used them was because of the Groupon.  I have no previous experience with other companies to compare their quality to, but I will say this: the quality of this book is absolutely magnificent.  The pages are this linen-type paper and I am absolutely in love with it.  The images are crystal clear and overall the quality is outstanding.  I'm a little disappointed that the top right corner of the book was a bit mushed in but I think that had more to do with UPS than Photobook so I won't complain too much about it.

Here's the cover:


Here's one of the pages:

(All the pages have a picture on one side and a love quote on the other where the guests are expected to sign. This one says "Anyone can be passionate but it takes real lovers to be silly.")

Another:
This one has one of my favorite quotes ever...something along the lines of "A woman knows the face of the man she loves like a sailor knows the sea." :)

And one more!!
And this one has that adorable quote that says something like "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."  Actually, I think that's the quote exactly...hi-five for me memorizing these! Woot!

And that is my AW moment of the day ladies.  =)

    Your guest book is beautiful and I am officially stealing those quotes and finding someway to put them on something (maybe the programs) for my wedding.

    I forgot to mention...thank you for "thinking" you peed in your pants.  That definitely got a chuckle out of me.

    Steal away my dear!!!!!!!!!  Go to google and type famous love quotes and you'll find a bunch of them...here are the other ones I used:

    Here are some more for anyone who needs some.  My fave is teh Dr. Seuss one.


    The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love, and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that the world is transformed.
    -J. Kirshnamurti  

    It is only with the heart that one can see clearly.  What is essential is invisible to the eye.
    -Antoine de Sainte Exupery  

    I love you.  I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw you.  I guess maybe I even loved you before I saw you.
    -Montgomery Clift  

    I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life, after life, in age after age, forever.
    -Rabindranath Tagore  

    I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
    -Elizabeth Barrett Browning  

    True love doesn’t have a happy ending; true love doesn’t have an ending.
      

    We were together, I have forgotten the rest.-Walt Whitman  

    Love isn’t about finding the perfect person, its about seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
      

    Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
    -James Baldwin  

    Love is a game that two can play and both can win.-Eva Gabor 

    We always believe our first love is our last and our last love is our first.-George Whyte-Melville  

    Ever mine, ever thine, ever ours.
    -Beethoven

    You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
    -Dr. Seuss  

    Never, never, never could one conceive of what love is beforehand, never.
    -DH Lawrence  

    If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
    -A.A. Milne  

    One makes mistakes; that is life.  But it is never a mistake to have loved.
    -Romain Rolland  

    In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything.
    -Mignon McLaughlin  

    I love her and that is the beginning of everything.-F. Scott Fitzgerald  

    The minute I heard my first love story I starting looking for you not knowing how blind that was.  Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.  They’re in each other all along.
    -Rumi

    I love it!!! 

    I'm planning on having a photo guestbook at my wedding as well, but instead of asking people to merely sign their name, I'd like to put a sign on the table asking people to share their advice for us.

    I did it in December..For some reason, I chose red pages and Im scared I wont find a pen to use. Plus, I used alot of small pics and I worry that people will just stand there and look at all the pics and no one will sign it.

    Kim I love that idea!  I'm sure you'll get a bunch of awesome/funny stuff you can use in a scrap book. =)

    Aww Karen...if the pages are thick enough that ink won't smear through you can always use a black sharpie...that's sure to stand out

    Doesn't Sharpie make metallic pens?  Do you think that'd work?

    I can't believe I haven't seen this idea for a guest book before...I love it!  Were the photos take from an engagement session?  And what a great idea with the love quotes on each page!  Love this!
  • edited December 2011
    Thank you Lauren, I'm really glad you liked it =D  I think I saw the idea online somewhere and I fell in love.  I didn't think I could do it because e-pics weren't in my budget but I ended up coming across a special for $99 for a summer engagement shoot (Ivan Apfel Photography) and I couldn't pass it up.  So yes, the pictures are from my engagement shoot...the quotes was a last-minute idea that I threw in there. =D
