Guest books are an easy way to have guests participate when they arrive. This can also be a decorative element to incorporate your theme and fill up space at the venue. Depending on your theme, there are many unique guest book options to choose from. Here are some of our favorites!

For a bride on a budget, this can be a great option. Go to your location antique shop or Goodwill for an old record. Adding a touch of paint that matches your color scheme can also elevate it. You can also add some photos to it and write on it with colorful sharpies. This is a timeless piece that you can put in your house after as decoration to always remember your wedding day.

A popular guest book is a Polaroid book. This is a fun way to get photos of all your guests and also have a record of it. Many people will get a book that has slots for the photos and a space to leave a message next to it. This can also double as a photo booth for your guests. Buying extra film can allow guests to keep photos for themselves. Overall, Polaroid’s can be used for many different styles and are a timeless way to look back on your wedding day.

For all you wine lovers, this is a fantastic way to incorporate it into your wedding. Get multiple wine bottles and write out years 1, 5, 10, and 15 for you to open it on. Have your guests write advice, encouragement, and notes on the bottles. This is a super inexpensive and special way to remember your wedding throughout the years.

Another unique guest book idea is using a puzzle. It can be a fun decoration to include a picture of the couple. Spend your future game nights putting the puzzle together and have fun reflecting back on your special day at the same time! You can also display it in your home as some decor. Guest books that can be used as decor in your home are so special and help you avoid getting one that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust.

A more sustainable guest book idea would be using a phone to leave a messages on. This is a great way to save money and not waste it on materials. You can choose to buy a phone that incorporates your theme or you can just have people call in on their own phones. If you need to come up with something last minute, having your guests call in can be a unique and inexpensive option.
