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.

2. Puzzle Piece Guestbook- This is a special way for each of your wedding guests to become part of your big day. Each individual piece of the puzzle will have one wedding wish per guest. Once complete, this will make a beautiful, artistic decoration in your home for years to come.

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.
