Guest books are at times overlooked when planning a wedding. It can sometimes be a challenge to spend quality time with each and every wedding guest. A guest book can be a great way to fill in the gaps and relive the moments of the special wedding day. Although a traditional guest book is a lovely keepsake, there are many creative alternatives that can be an easy way to add personalization. Here are some of our favorite unique guest books:
1. Globe– Travel lovers, this one is for you! Grab a vintage globe and some sharpies. Have your guests sign over their hometown or a place that holds a special meaning to them.
2. Jenga– Every time you play this jenga set, it’ll bring back memories for years to come.
3. Piñata– Have each guest write a message and place it inside the piñata. Break open the piñata on your anniversary!
4. Quilt– This is super creative yet practical! Have your friends and family sign and decorate individual squares of fabric for you to take and sew together for a cozy quilt.
5. Sports memorabilia– Share a love for sports? This is a great alternative! You can get really creative and incorporate any sport!
6. Surfboard– Beach weddings open many options for alternative guest books. A signed surfboard is perfect for the beachy brides and grooms. Using them as home décor is a plus!
