A‚ guest book is a pretty standard tradition at the entrance of the church or reception to record who has attended your event. However, a blank book with lines is not something you will look back on fondly to remember all the great memories of that day. I highly suggest investing a little time and enthusiasm into the guest book and it will be returned to you by your guests.

‚

One way to truly turn the guest book into a fun experience is to make a photo book on a site like Shutterfly with pictures of the bride and groom with lines throughout to allow for guests to sign in but it will be a great memento of your early pictures as well as give you something to reminisce about as you are looking through who attended your wedding.

‚

Another great way to use pictures in your wedding guest book is to have your photographer make a book of your engagement pictures into a guest book. This is a great way to utilize those great shots of the happy couple as well as give the guests a great view of the couple right before they see you again on this happy day.

‚

Above all else, I think your guest book should be fun. Using fun shots from your relationship or the beautiful photos of your engagement shoot is a way to make the guest book more colorful and more enjoyable, therefore fun for all! ‚
