25 Fun and Unique Wedding Guest Book Ideas
If you are a bride or groom-to-be, you’ll know that a wedding guest book is an important part of your wedding reception where your guests can pass on their well wishes, and give you a special keepsake of your special day. You may like a traditional wedding guest book for your guests to write their names and wishes in, or stick their polaroid pictures into. Or you may also want to do something fun and unique for your wedding guest book.
Here I’ve put together a list of fun things that you can add to your wedding guest book, either as a stand alone guest book, or in addition to a more traditional wedding guest book. These ideas are designed to be fun and unique, and to give you something special to take home after your wedding to remember the night and remember the loved ones who celebrated with you. If you do any of these ideas, I’d love to hear about it! Send me an email and I’d love to see and share with other followers.
If you’re after a traditional or a fun prompted wedding guest book to go with any of these ideas, check out our luxury wedding guest book collection here!
Here are the 25 ideas for a wedding guest book:
