Do you need a guestbook if you have one with a photobooth?

I rented a photobooth for my wedding which allows our guests to not only keep a photo strip but to paste one in a scrapbook and write a message. My only concern is some of our guests may not use the photobooth. Do you think I should have just a name log style guestbook as guests enter.. or the photobooth is sufficient enough even though a few may not be included?

    We didn't have either, but I don't think that you need a guestbook.  Do you really want one more thing to keep track of that day?  Besides, all of our guests gave us cards, many of which had notes of congratulations in them, so we didn't feel a guestbook necessary.

    You don't "need" a guestbook at all.

    Couldn't guests who don't want to take pictures still sign a page of your scrapbook/album?

    We had both.  Not everyone used the photobooth, but ALOT of people did.  I love the photobooth book a lot more than our actual guestbook, which was nice...but the photobook was hilarious.

    Either way, you probably aren't going to have 100% utilization.  If you want to, have both, but I wouldn't spend a lot of effort or money on the "traditional" guestbook.  We got ours included in our photography package (it was a book of our e-pics with spaces to sign).

    you can ask your guests to write in their wedding wishes in their photobooth photos. collect them and put them into your scrapbook. that can be a creative way to put them together. or you can also put a blackboard as your photobooth backdrop and ask your guests to scribble their wedding wishes on them so they will be standing next to it in the photo. saves them time as well.

    check out this pic which is more or less, the same thing of what i meant. http://pinterest.com/pin/270778996315458228/

    You don't really "need" a guestbook.

    That being said, our photobooth does the same thing, but we are also having a guestbook that we will have at the church and then my mom will move to the reception. We have a pretty wide range of ages coming to the wedding, and I know I won't see many of our older guests in the photobooth. Plus, we found Wedding MadLibs on Martha Stewards DIY wedding site and I've asked the photobooth if we can incorporate them into the scrapbook. My thinking is that guests can fill out the madlib, than hand it to the attendant when they get their photo taken. The owner said as long as the paper would fit into the scrapbook, it wouldn't be an issue. So really, they will be very different from each other.
