Not Your Traditional Guest Book
A guest book is a great memento of the friends and family that celebrated your wedding day with you. Here are some creative ways to cherish and display your wedding memories for years to come.
Polaroid or Photo Book Guest Book
Photo booths are a popular and entertaining addition to any wedding reception. They capture the joy and unique personalities of your guests. Compiling these photos with messages from your guests creates a lifelong treasure. If you hire a professional photo booth, have them print out two of every photo – one for the guest to take, and one for the guest to add to the photo guest book. Provide photo safe glue dots or adhesive strips to attach the photo and pens for guests to write a message. If you don’t have a professional photo booth, having your guests take candid polaroids to add to the guest book is a cost-efficient and fun alternative.
Sea Glass Keepsake Guest Book

Around the Coastal Bend, all shades of turquoise and teal are popular wedding colors. A gorgeous way to turn your guest book into home decor you can display in your newlywed home is a sea glass keepsake. You can use any style of glass vessel and decorate it any way you choose. Provide guests with paint pens to sign a piece of sea glass and drop it in the vessel. (Pro tip – make sure to try out the pens on a few pieces of glass before your wedding day to make sure the color shows up and the pens work properly!)
Driftwood Guest Book
A variation of the sea glass keepsake vessel is to use driftwood instead. You can purchase driftwood at craft stores, or walk the beach with your honey to collect driftwood for your wedding. This is a perfect guest book for a beach wedding.
