Unique Wedding Guest Book Ideas

Are you tired of the traditional pen and paper guest books? You’ve come to the right place! Wedding guest books are a great way to memorialize your special day. Recently, brides have been moving away from the traditional guest book, wanting to provide their guests with something fun and unique. Keep scrolling to see different guest “book” ideas to represent your big day!

1. Polaroids

Polaroid and film photos have become very popular in recent years. Provide one or two polaroid cameras for guests to take photos. Make sure to have sharpies laying around so guests can write a note at the bottom of their picture! You can then take all the photos from your wedding and put them in a scrapbook or frame.  

2. Shadow Box

This guest book idea can also be used as a decoration. Anything can be used to fill the box, be creative! Guests can sign corks, hearts, or even bottle caps. Once everyone has filled the box, you can hang it or even keep it in on your dresser at home. 

3. Balloon Canvas

Instead of having your guests take photos or write a memory, have them engage in an activity! Fill balloons with paint that represent your wedding colors and attach them to an empty canvas. As guests arrive to the reception, they can throw a dart at a balloon. The paint splatter will then decorate the canvas, providing you with a new art piece. 

 4. Electronic Book

This idea is a great way to interact with your guests while leaving you with sentimental videos to look back on. No need to buy any fancy devices, any recording device you have would work. You could also have guests use their own cell phones to take pictures or videos. Create a wedding hashtag so guests can share their photo with you on social media! 

5. Furniture

Provide a piece of furniture you wish you have in your newlywed home. Make sure you pick a piece you don’t mind guests writing on. This is another great way to personalize your wedding while having something functional to remember your big day.
