My aunt, who is throwing my shower, asked me if she should get a guest book or if I already had one. She is already working so hard to put it together along with my grandma's bday that I told her I could do it. 
Any cute ideas? It doesn't have to be anything big but I thought it would be nice to have something cute that my MOH can then write the gifts in as well.
Thanks!

    I'd keep the gift tracking separate from a guest book... to me the guest book is for a keep sake, not for keeping track of who gave what.

    Something cute might be a photo frame with a large matte that everyone could sign - you could take a group picture at the shower to have put in the frame (or right away, if you have an at home printer). Or an 'advice book', where everyone can write a word of advice for the bride along with signing their name. Or something tailored to the bride's interests or the theme of the party - like if she does theater or there's a theater/movie theme to the shower, create a 'program' like whawt you get when you go to see plays, list all the guests as 'cast members' and have them 'autograph' next to their names (that would probably only work with a smaller shower, but you get the idea.)

    Good luck! =)

    A cute idea at a shower I had once were lots of "mini-booklets' at each table. Each one asked/said a different thing:

    Best marriage advice for the new couple?
    Favorite memory of "Bride"?
    Where you think "bride and groom" will be in 10 years?
     

    some serious, some funny... and they got passed around during the entire shower; people could write an answer in one, or all of them!

    When I threw a shower for my sister, I handed out recipe cards.  I asked guests  to write what they thought was a "recipe for a good marriage".  Some took it literally and wrote their favorite food recipe.  Others were very creative.  I took all the cards and put them in an album.  It turned out really cute!

    Amanda, I think I'm doing a spin on a recipe book. Each one will look like a recipe card with a place for ingredients and directions but I'll leave out an example for people to follow that has advice for the couple(how to make a good marriage) and ingredients (love, patience, hugs). I'll put them in a recipe box that has little alphabet tabs instead of type of meals.
