    Oy vey!! This is the ONE thing I am stuck on. I hate books (Who is really going to look in them down the road, my grandmother said to keep the RSVP cards and every 5yrs check off who passed away...MORBID!!!) lol, I liked the tree but my grandmother was grossed out by fingerprinting guests and I don't like the taping of paper shapes to it. So now I am surfing other ideas..so I am looking forward to seeing others post...I could do a quilt but I don't sew lol

    My MOH put together a scrapbook of recent pictures and left some blank pages for people to sign. I have seen this done with mixbooks and shutterfly.

    I don't like the idea of checking off people when they are dead either.

    I cut out a bunch of leaves and had people write a little note on them, and then they hung them on the tree that was part of our ceremony.

    Our photographer made us a photo guestbook with our engagement photos.  It was actually pretty cool because there were your standard pages for writing a message and the guest's name, as well as sections for people to give us advice, like "How can Kari and Pete keep the fire burnin'?" or "What must Kari and Pete accept about each other to have a long and lasting life together?"  The responses to these questions were hilarious and our guests had so much fun with it!

    I think we will do the fingerprint tree, or the signing a platter or something...I'm not all about the book thing either...

    I hate the idea of a guest book, but I love the idea of this and think I could actually use it.

    We're doing a quilt. Today SIL volunteered to embroider the center square with our names and wedding date. I'm really getting excited.

    My FI and I hired Shutterbooth out of Tampa :) They have an add-on that you can get that includes a guest book! Each photostrip prints twice and an attendant (that works for Shutterbooth) asks everyone to put one strip in our book and then they get to keep the other!

    See we have a photobooth and they do the same thing (In A Snap Events) but I'm worried some won't go take photos.
