When planning our wedding, I had so many visions in my head of what I wanted and how I was expecting everything to look. And then when I realized I hadn't thought of some of the smaller details, like the guestbook, cake topper, etc., I had to jump on those to cross them off of my last-minute to-do list. With that being the case, it didn't leave me much time to come up with something creative and unique for our guestbook. I had seen these personalized books being talked about on Wedding Bee, but since I waited until the last minute, I didn't get around to it {Insert sad face here!} And since much of my traffic comes from the Wedding Bee site, I thought I'd offer the wise suggestion to order a personalized guestbook from the Guestbook Store.
How adorable is this?
We used this guestbook for our baby shower, and absolutely love that we now have it to look back on, and share with our baby girl one day. So I can't imagine how great it would be to have this to look back on from our wedding day, as opposed to the traditional 'sign your name here' guestbook approach.
The pages were set out on the table that guests were greeted by as they arrived. The pages were set out individually, so each person could fill it out as they felt like it. Some did it right away and some waited until the end.
And the Guestbook Store pens? They were a hit. Some people just get overly excited about 4 different colors on one pen! But who can blame them?! My cousin even came over after the shower and caught glimpse of the pens, and took home about 4 or 5 to use for Fantasy Football notes or something of the like... :) They definitely gave the guests a reason to make each page CUTE!
As each guest finished sporadically, they would insert their page into the super cute album. {Which, by the way, you get to choose the album cover from a wide range of options -- I chose 'Baby Talk', but equally loved 'Zoo Critters'} And throughout the entire shower, I'd catch people sneaking a peek at the book and checking out what advice others had to offer us.
What I love about this guestbook is the idea that it encourages guests to offer special and unique wishes, words of wisdom, and even fun little predictions. I don't know how many times I've stared at a blank page and wondered, "Hmm..what should I write?"
This gives guests ample opportunity to fork out their best advice in a nice or funny way. They can choose which way to go with it :)
i.e., the 'Drive your parents crazy' piece of advice...not necessarily the 'nice' approach!
And perhaps one of my favoriteee additions to this unique guestbook? The page for the invitation, AND several pages to list your gifts!! Not quite sure why these excite me so much..but, before even receiving this book, I had the intention of adhering the invitation to the inside front cover of the book. Then, to my surprise, a special little page, just for that :)
And this way baby girl can always look back to see who got her those favorite attachment items! And well, helllllo helpfulness for writing thank-you notes!!
Thank you, Aruanda, for filling this part out :)
As you can tell, I've been thrilled about this guestbook and I'm excited to always have it! Baby girl will have fun one day looking back on these special messages, and it will always bring me back to the special day and memories that this shower brought.
You can order one of these sweet little books for all sorts of occasions {weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, lodging, memorials, graduations, retirements, reunions, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc.} so if you're looking for a way for your guests to have this much fun while signing your guestbook, head on over to the Guestbook Store {www.guestbookstore.com}, and then toss in a bottle of champagne, wine, or cocktails, and they're bound to throw some fun messages your way!
