In a few years, you will reread them with emotion, and relive the happiest day of your life. With the beautiful wedding photos, the wedding guestbook is perfect! Our advice for choosing the right one.
The wedding guest book is perfect for keeping a nice souvenir of this unique day. It allows your guests to leave you a little note, a drawing, or even a photo, placed the same day in the notebook that you have made available to them. It will allow you to relive your wedding in a few months or years, when you will be nostalgic. To choose it well, it must above all correspond to your personality and your theme of your wedding: if you have chosen a bohemian atmosphere, opt for a flowery notebookif the reception takes place in a vintage location, match the guest book to the decor, etc. And if you want to ensure that it is timeless and that you will still like it in a few years, choose a classic model. Here are some examples of wedding guestbooks, to find the one you need!
You will very easily find, in bridal shops or on the Internet, very pretty guest books. They come in all colors, in all formats, more or less sober. It is certain, you will find a guest book adapted to your wedding theme. For prices, count between 15 and 50 euros per book. Place the guest book in full view of the guests with a little accompanying note. Next to the guest book, place a pretty pen. Again, it’s up to you to choose. You can then keep it as a souvenir of your union.
You can also choose to personalize your guestbook. To do this, obtain a beautiful white paper, and decorate it using scrapbooking elements, collages, drawings. A little tip is also to glue small envelopes to the pages of the book and place them next to the small boxes. Your guests will write their note on one of them and slip it into an envelope.
If your wedding is in a bohemian spiritthere are many possibilities to match your guest book. For example, it can have a cardboard cover, on which the name of the bride and groom will be written, be decorated with lace, flowers and dried leaves… Anything goes! Another idea might be to ask an artist or loved one who is good at drawing to paint the flower crown or bridal bouquet on the cover.
The kraft guest book has a raw appearance that will appeal to many. Very aesthetic, it is very easy to find in stationery stores, in creative hobby stores, or from a photographer. Some manufacturers even offer to personalize them, with the name of the bride and groom or a drawing on the cover. It brings a little rustic side, and has the advantage of being able to customize as you wish!
The vintage wedding guest book is also a classic. Made of cork or even burlap, decorated with lace, old images and ribbons, it has a very romantic appearance, perfectly suited to keeping the memories of a marriage ! You can choose it with slightly thick paper, to reinforce the slightly old side.
Finally, it is not obligatory that your guestbook be in book form. You can ask your guests to write you a note using an old typewriter. Choose paper on a roll. You can then roll it up like parchment. Otherwise, invest in a Polaroid. Place a blackboard with chalk next to it, on which guests will write their wishes, take a photo of themselves next to it and stick it in your guest book. You can also take an empty frame and ask your guests to write a little note which they will then slip inside.
