10 Unique Guest Book Alternatives


Guestbooks are often long forgotten after the big day has come and gone. Why not get something you can display openly for years to come?
Here is a list of some fun, interactive and creative ways for guests to sign their name and write their well wishes!

1. Jenga Pieces- Have your guests help you create your very own personalized jenga game.
  Guests write their wedding wishes to the newly wed couple on these blocks, and each time the couple play, they will be reminded of that special time in their life. This would make a great anniversary tradition, just play once a year!
 Choose the number of pieces based on the amount of guests you are expecting.

3. The Love note jar-  Have each of your wedding guests write their wedding wishes to you on a slip of paper. Each anniversary, open a new bottle of wine, close your eyes, pick a random note, sit back and remissness for years to come. You can order jars or create your very own and finish them off them some custom made mason jar labels.

4. Set up a video recorder station-have each of your guests record their own wedding wish message. Or maybe have a friend go around to each guest table, and as a group they can record their message together.
 If you can, hold off and watch this video on your first anniversary. It'll make that moment feel that much more special.

5. Wedding Mad Libs-  Are you a couple with a good sense of humor? These may be just for you. This is a fun, hilarious way for your guests to write something funny and meaningful all on the same sheet of paper.
You can always save these when laughter seems scarce.

Unique Wedding Ideas- Make your day unforgettable


Here is a list of some fun little things that you can add to your wedding day to make it that much more fun and unique.

Looking back on my day, I wish I had done more research and added some these neat ideas to my Wedding!

1) The one fun thing I did do on my wedding day was Anniversary cards. I laid one out on each table- Year 1-10 and had our guests sign it. Some added what they loved about our wedding, some added their hopes for our future, and some signed just there names. Every anniversary we get to crack open a bottle of wine and open that year's anniversary card together. It still brings tears to my eyes. I absolutely love it.

2) Tinging on the glass (For a Kiss) replacements
Movie trivia cards- Have a stack of movie trivia cards- Make them read the question over the mic- IF they get the answer right then you may kiss :)
Have them sign a song or better yet... RAP IT haha
Make them DANCE
Couples trivia- have a stack of trivia related to your relationship
Have a jar- every kiss is $1.00 
Tell a joke... If you laugh, have a kiss 
Perform a charade
Have them demonstrate a kiss for you to copy
Or make a kissing menu and add all of the above

 Click to purchase

  3) Fun little signs like the one listed below- These can be custom made and would be suitable for: Pets, Sons/Daughters/Nieces/Nephews or anybody walking down the aisle for that matter!

                                                             The Dream Wedding Shop
Click to purchase 


4) Have your photographer take some thank you pictures for your thank you cards!! A beautiful sign example below. Click the shop link to view more thank you signs.

                                                                SignsToLiveBy               
                                                              Click to purchase
                          
5) Memorable Guest Books
Photobook Guest Books
Wedding Madlibs
Love Notes to the Bride and Groom
Your Wedding Theme Postcards 
Puzzle Piece Messages or Notes in a Jar
Paper Chain- have guests write messages and sign their names onto construction paper.Then attach to the paper chain (just like grade school!)
Canvas art- have guests draw/sign their name on canvas with paints! FUN (just hide the liquor first, or it could get messy)
Wedding Tree Guest book 
Use Jenga pieces for guests to sign
Cute chalkboard 
Large wooden monogram of your initials 
Have a video recorder set up where guests can record video messages

   Click to purchase         
                                                               

                                                                                                                   

6) Add a line for a song request on your wedding rsvp

7)  Change things up a little bit or if you don't have any small children in the family....Make your mom, mother-in-law or grandmas the honorary flower girls. For the father/grand father of the groom have him be your ring bearer

8) For guest favors.... Give them sparklers. When the night comes have your wedding photographer take some neat shots of all your guests (and you guys of course) with the sparklers!

9) For extra fun, offer a confetti bar. You can set this out just after the ceremony so guests can throw it as you leave the church or ceremony site.

10) If you have children at the reception seat them at their very own table, Instead of giving them grown up favors you can  give them some heart shaped crayons and a love filled coloring book to keep them out of mischief

Click to purchase    


11) Have your guests pass around video cameras. Much cheaper alternative to a videographer

12) Polaroid photo booth

13) If you have a small wedding, Instead of name place cards. Place photos of family and friends at their table

14) Have a hand written Thank-You note for each guest in their place card.


       Click to purchase


15) Have a little station set where where guests can write some marriage advice or you can also use these as a replacement to your standard guest book!

16) Say thank you to your guests with these beautiful smores love guest favors!
