Ideas for Guest Book

What are some ideas to the alternative of your guests signing a book?

I have seen people get plates to sign and you stick them in the oven and the signatures adhere to the plate, square clothes to be signed to be made into a quilt, photobooths, and a polaroid camera where people sign the bottom of there picture and put it into a photo album.

What are some other neat ideas to do?

    We thought about doing those Starbucks mugs that you can write messages on (we are Starbucks junkies) and putting one on each table so we'd have a whole set.  But we ended up doing a more traditional guestbook with some of our engagement pictures mounted and then blank pages for signing.

    I ordered a photobook (of our e-pics) from Shutterfly and had guests sign it.

    We are planning on doing the large signature photo frame mat with an e-pic in it.

    I do like the photobook idea too though!

    We're doing the same as Jody. We got two 11x 17 sized frames that hold a 5x7 photo in the center with an extra wide matt for signing.

    We figured we could put a wedding picture in the center and hang them as a nice momento rather than a book that gets shelved away.

    I just registered for the one at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It is 20"x20" and holds a 5x7" photo.

    We ordered a photo guestbook from mixbook.com...super cute and easy to make!

    Taryn, when you used yours, did you have to get a special pen for signing?  I'd imagine a regular one would smear on the pages.

    I want to do something that they write on and I take later and put in a scrapbook, along with a personalized napkin, favor tag, program, etc.

    I was thinking about doing leaf cut outs and having them write something and then hang it on a manzanita tree, or something like that... maybe, kinda!

    I'm doing a shutterfly book with our engagement pictures. My FI loves movies and is always qouting them, so I am scattering quotes from movies and more inspirational ones throughout the book here and there to personalize it more for us. Guests will be able to be sign around the pictures and quotes.

    Our wedding theme is a garden theme, so I am going to put a bunch of the fine line sharpies  in a terra cotta flower pot by the book.

    We got a book that had a bunch of tiny envelopes attached to the pages.  It came with little cards that our guests wrote notes on and then put into the envelopes.  That way they could write longer, more private messages and not worry about everybody seeing what they wrote.  Our book also had a spot for a picture of us on the front, so we put one of our e-pics in there.

    this was the first thing we decided on - we picked up a photo album that matched our wedding colors at Target, and we are going to have 4x6 note cards that match our stationary on the table so the guests can all write notes or advice or whatever and just pop them into the album.

    We're doing this also except I bought ours from Joann's w/ a 50% off coupon. I think it's larger than 20" x 20" but it holds a 5" x 7" photo in the center.

    Lindsay, my mom brought some of her scrapbooking pens for people to sign the book.  I think you should be fine as long as the pens are acid free. :)
