Please! I've been browsing them lately and don't know what I want. I like the thumbprint idea where the prints are the leaves on a tree, but I can see that getting messy and guests being irritated that they had to stick their finger in ink. And I don't think I want to go the traditional guestbook route, so I need ideas! Sorry if there was a post about this not too long ago, I can't remember.
Re: Tell me about your guestbook
It's a ceramic serving platter that everyone will sign and then we take it home and bake it to seal in the signatures. Something like this (link):
Personally, I don't like the thumbprint trees because 1) it's kind of a trendy thing right now that everyone is doing, and 2) people's fingers will be all inky.

But I'm going with a different guestbook. The site is guestbookstore.com and this is one of my favorites so far. Each guest gets a page to fill out and it has things like what was your favorite part of the day? advice for the couple, how did you meet the couple, predictions for the future etc. There's even parts where they can doodle with markers, personally looks like people can have lots of fun with it. Per FI's request we'll be ordering the pages with spaces where you can put the person's picture on their page. I'm actually really excited about it haha. And cuz I can get pages in Spanish too! :
I also saw an interesting guestbook recently by a knottie on the DIY board...can't remember her name right now, I'll have to go home and check. But she made a guestbook where each person wrote like well wishes/ advice on a card or folded paper and then tucked it into one of the many little pockets that were made and glued onto the guestbook's pages. Not sure if that's making sense but it was cute. I'll PIP later. Posted by Nati05[/QUOTE]
Oops, so sorry! That had paragraphs. But I guess TK mobile couldn't care less haha
After they take their picture they keep 1 copy and the other goes onto the scrapbook paper where they can write us a little note should they choose!
Then on the back they write their advice or well wishes and their name and put it in our mailbox. It also will serve as a card box.

I found this seller on Etsy and she has really cute traditional guestbooks: http://modernshabby.com/Home_Page.html
I love the letter to sign that bridetobe posted, and I have also considered one of the big photo frames or something else that you can hang in your home to remind you of your wedding day.
I also don't really like the thumbprint trees....even if there are wet wipes around, it kind of seems like a kindergarten project to me.
