African American Weddings

Guest Books Ideas...

What are some trendy ideas you ladies have in lieu of guest books? I for one don't care for a guest book because, it might just get tossed after a few years. I want something that I can keep for years to come. 

We are doing a Photoframe Mat with signatures for all guests. Then for my sorority sisters, I am purchasing a Vase were they can write their names and/or short words of encouragement on it. 

What are yall doing?

Re: Guest Books Ideas...

  • I did a photobook with our engagement pictures. It came out really cute.
  • We're doing an wish/advice tree. then when i get home i'm taking little trinkets from the wedding (invite/favor bag/double heart charms/and the advices) and making/framing a wedding collage to hang in the house.

  • I am bought one of these so I could keep as a sort of rolodex...

  • I thought about doing a wishing tree instead of a guest book, or i saw on another board that one of the ladies had puzzles pieces  and asked the guest to share a message, and you and the hubby can put it together and maybe frame it or something.. I like either or.. Also, the photobooth rental we are going with offers a photobook, so everyone who take a picture gets  two copies one for themselves, and the other go into the book and they can write a message next to their photo..
    I'm on my work computer so i don't have that much wedding stuff on here but later i will post a pic for you, so you can see what i'm talking about..
