Unique Ideas for Guest Books That Will Make Your Wedding Unforgettable

February 02, 20243 min read

When it comes to planning your wedding, there are few details as important as the guest book. It’s the perfect way to capture memories of your special day and to remember all of the people who helped make it magical. But traditional guest books can be a bit boring, and some couples are looking for something a little more unique. If that sounds like you, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we’re going to share some of our favorite ideas for unusual guest books that are sure to make your wedding one to remember.

1. Audio Guestbook -

Audio Guestbook by speaking into an old landline phone and leaving a message

For this guest book alternative, you’ll need something to record audio. What is popular right now is renting an audio device that looks like an old landline telephone from the 1990's and leaving instructions for guests to pick up the phone and leave a message. Simply ask your guests to talk into the phone and leave their well-wishes, hopes, or advice on the "message machine" and hangup when done. You’ll end up listening to some fun and encouraging things from friends and family.

2. Jenga Blocks -

Encourage your guests to play a giant game of Jenga by using the blocks as a guest book. Provide a permanent marker, and have guests sign or write messages on random blocks. It’s a fun way to create something interactive that you can enjoy for years to come.

3. Photo Album -

Another great way to capture memories of your wedding day is by setting up a photo album. You can have your guests take Polaroid photos and add them to the album along with their messages. You’ll have a beautiful collection of photos and notes that you can look back on for years to come.

4. Canvas Art -

Provide a blank canvas (or a few!) for your guests to write their messages on. After the wedding, you’ll have a unique piece of art that you can display in your home. And, depending on your artistic abilities, you might end up with something even more beautiful than you anticipated!

5. Custom Jigsaw Puzzle -

Have a custom jigsaw puzzle made with a picture of the two of you and a blank space in the middle. Have your guests sign their names or write messages on the puzzle pieces, then put it together when the wedding is over. You’ll have a beautiful puzzle that you can display in your home.

Bonus -

Have a nice piece of wood, board, or sign branded with your future last name as a couple and provide markers for your guest to sign it. It's real simple and is fun because it can be hung up and displayed on a wall in your home to see and be reminded of all the important people in your life!
