Photo guestbook is finished and ordered!!  Here is the link if you want to check it out :)
http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/wedding/wedding-guest-book-5139708

I loved using Mixbook to create this book, and the book of b-pics for FI :)  They were very easy to use and turned out great!  My one tip is that you have to save EACH individual page after you are done editing it - otherwise you will lose your changes!

My question is that I'm wondering if a fine point sharpie would be the best to write on it with - has anyone had any experience with this?  What did you use?  What smeared, what didn't?

TIA!

    We made a guestbook like this and are planning on using a fine point Sharpie.

    Sorry I know I "signed off" but I'm bored in my last hour at work so I'm lurking! First of all your book is adorable! Secondly, I recommend Archiver's Slick Writers Fine Point Markers. I ordered them in 3 different colors off a recommendation from another knottie and they dry instantly so it won't smear on the pages

    I just got mine off the Archiver's website because we don't have an Archiver's store around me.

    I went to Archiver's in Maple Grove and just asked what would be best for our guestbook-we made one on shutterfly. They let me buy a couple types and try them out at home, then return what smeared too much. We ended up with the slick writers too, but I recommend trying them out if you can just to be safe.
