Here are some creative and unique guestbook designs that
will add something a little different to your special day

1. Pop it in a Bottle
Ask your guests to simply leave a message
in a bottle! All you will need to provide is
a clear glass bottle with a cap along with
paper and pens. A really lovely way for your
guests to be able to write memories about
the wedding day or memories they share
with you. Simply leave the messages in the
bottle for a year and open on your first
wedding anniversary in order to really look
back on the wonderful memories.
2. Artwork for the Home
There are lots of fantastic ideas out there
for different pieces of wall art which your
guests can sign. Hanging your guestbook at
home not only gives your interior a personal
touch, it’s a constant reminder of your big
day. We love this wooden frame complete
with wooden hearts detailing your guest’s
messages. It will be used far more than your
traditional guestbook which will probably be
hidden in the loft for years to come.
3. Catch it on Camera
This is an entertaining yet easy way to
recreate a guestbook. Get a Polaroid
camera and ask your guests to take pictures
of themselves and sign a message on the
back if they wish! There isn’t always the
need to write a note, the photo itself is a
great way of remembering the day!
4. Get Creative
Why not use a printed image of a tree and
a few ink pads and get your guests to leave
their fingerprint with a short messages
beside it? This is another that would
work well hung in a frame in your home.
Alternatively, why not get your guests to
sign heart-shaped leaves.
