Giving Away Wedding Guest Books

By Danny Ricks

Wedding is one of the most special events a person could experience. Newly married couples would want to keep the memories of that one day for the rest of their lives - one of which is through a guest book. Wedding guest books are essential things in weddings that should not be taken for granted.

Wedding guest book is one of the most important things during the wedding. First, it provides a list of those people who spent their time with them. With the list, you can always prepare a thank you card for them. Second, it serves the purpose of refreshing your contacts. Your friends or relatives may have changed their numbers and addresses. You may also meet new faces - your in-laws, your spouse's friends that you might want to add in your contacts. And lastly, it holds the messages and wishes of those who love you and support you for this major decision in your life.

Have Pictures on It. Pictures are very essential in capturing the moments during the wedding. You can assign one to take Polaroid shots of the guests then incorporate it to the guest book before they sign. As you read your wedding guest book for the years to come, you will not only remember their names, but their faces as well.

Pictures are quite good to see in a guest book. You can have your friend take Polaroid pictures of your guests and paste it on the guest book before having them sign on it. Pictures are moments captured. As for the years to come, you will not forget the faces and names of those special people around you that day. The pictures may be candid, stolen or formal shots but they always tell a story - and it is a story worth remembering.

Weeks before the wedding, you can ask some of your friends and family members to share something that can be put on your guest book. These can be recipes, a composition, and stories in the past. They may even include pictures of you. It will be a more personalized guest book full of thoughts and fun. Surely, it is a worthy treasure to keep.

The above suggestions will really work great in an unlined book. They can freely express their feelings and mood in a blank paper. People can doodle, write very small, or write with very large fonts, write with short messages or long ones - they are free to do what they want. They will have a fun moment leaving their messages for you.

Pages with lines are best if you want to keep the formality and simplicity of your guest book. Having guided lines, writing straight would not be a problem. You can avoid messy and unattractive pages and keep them neat and in order.

Just remember, there are no rules and definitely no limits of what you can do with your guest book. Keep in mind its purpose. It is a treasure. Take some time for ideas to make your wedding guest book as something that is worth keeping.
