Stones for Guest "Book"?

For the most part FI has zero opinion about anything related to the wedding... anything I ask about is "Whatever you want" or "That's fine". So when I was flipping through a magazine and he stopped me at a picture of a stone "guest book", I figured it would be nice to incorporate something he actually wants.

My question is, have any of you done these? And if so, where did you get the rocks? I don't know that I have enough free time over the next 4 months to try to find 200+ stones, so I would much rather purchase them.

For those who may not know what I'm talking about, here is a link: clicky.

Thanks in advance for any helpful hints!

    You might check out craft or garden stores.

    And I these were the results of my Etsy search:

    The first one might be what you're looking for, and seems reasonable, I guess.

    See, I saw that on Etsy too, and my eyes just about bugged out of my head at the cost. 

    I found some on Save-on-Crafts, the only thing is I'm not sure how many rocks I'd get in 2lbs, and how many of them would be large enough to write on. I think I will check out Michaels this weekend, and maybe Lowes or Home Depot.

    See, I have no idea how much a bunch of rocks would cost at any random store, but I could see it being expensive, so I don't know.  I love that they gather a hundred rocks and slap a $150 price tag on it.
