Sure, you could buy a standard guestbook where people can write their names in cursive handwriting that is pretty much not legible. You could even splurge and buy more customized guestbooks that feature photos of you but not much else in the way of personality.
Or, you can tell a story, YOUR story and share it with every guest who is there to celebrate your wedding day. Your guests can write you advice, favorite memories, or congratulatory messages.
Here are a few snippets from the custom wedding book I am working on right now. What started out as an ENORMOUS challenge of combining all the little details that make this couple unique has become a beautiful, visual story of their love for each other and their special day.
Here are the inspiration points Brittany and I discussed.
- Their wedding colors are yellow and gray
- Their theme is rustic/country (they are having the wedding party in a barn! So cool!)
- They are doing a lemonade bar as part of the wedding and will be incorporating both limes and lemons into the decor- so she wanted hints of a happy green included throughout
- The venue is a bright red barn- she wanted this incorporated as well
- Additionally, Brittany LOVES everything Disney and will be having a very sentimental Minnie and Mickey figurine incorporated into the decor
- Their wedding song is "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes.
This may seem like a lot of information to incorporate into a custom guestbook at first glance but keep in mind that you'll want plenty of pages for guests to sign-in on and each page can tell a bit more of your story.
Here are a few of the spreads that I've already completed. I'll keep the rest a surprise until the big day! ( I think if you click on them you can get them bigger to see the cute details).
Good luck Brittany and Josh, warm wishes, and sweet memories always,
