Will You Sign the Guest Book?

04/22/21 | Etsy, Wedding Inspiration, wedding planning

You may have seen in past Instagram posts where I have featured my ideal bath set up – warm water, epsom salts, bath bombs, and Sex and the City reruns.   Thus, when someone asked me about a guestbook as part of our wedding planning the first thing I thought of was Carrier asking Miranda “Are you sure you can leave the Guest Book unattended?” and it made me laugh out loud.  If you are not a fan of the show or don’t remember this exact moment in season two a friend the four ladies makes Charlotte a bridesmaid and Miranda is demoted to the one who has to ask everyone to sign the wedding guest book. 
To be honest, when I was thinking of our reception a wedding guest book was not something I was planning on doing but as I keep reminding myself – this is not just my wedding.  It turns out Mark likes the idea of a wedding guest book but he had no specific ideas.  Thus I started thinking outside the box and the only thing I knew when I starter was that it was not going to be a book.  As we approach the six-month countdown to our new wedding data here are some of the non traditional options I have come across.

I was surprised when googling things like “unique guest book ideas” there were so many that were still books, just with something like a monogrammed cover.  No thank you, no books in my wedding.    I hope you like these options I have found though I must be honest, I did omit one as I do not want to show you want we are going will.  For those readers who will be coming to our big day, we still want to surprise you with a few touches!

What do you think of the idea of a wedding guest book?

    Such creative ideas that will give you many happy memories of your big day.

    Sure beats the old traditional actual book that I bet no one ever looked at once they got past the first few months of the wedding.

    I think the globe is my favorite, it would make such a great decoration in a home office and remind you of a great day!

    We skipped the guest book at our wedding, same with the video, as we figured they were things we would never look at.

    Personally I have never signed a guest book but these look more interactive, so maybe!
