Guest books are usually filled with quick signatures and sweet notes from loved ones, but why not turn yours into something more fun and memorable for everyone? Embracing interactive guest books brings personality, laughs, and memories that will last a lifetime! Here are some of our favorite interactive guest books that might fit you and your guests perfectly!
Instead of having your guests write how they feel, let them say it! A video message booth invites friends and family to record heartfelt and hilarious messages that you can cherish. The best part? Getting to sit down together and relive all of the moments your guests recorded makes for an unforgettable experience! Consider having a video message booth so you will always have a heartfelt “voicemail” from the people who mean most.
Add a playful and personal touch by creating an instant photo station! Have a Polaroid camera available and a scrapbook so guests can snap a quick photo and leave a message behind! Set out a few props, colorful pens and some florals that capture the ambiance of your wedding. The end-result is a personalized keepsake full of love, laughter and little snapshots of the people you love most celebrating your special day!
Looking for a vintage blast from the past to compliment your day? If so, the perfect pick is the trendy audio guest book. Set up a retro-style phone that records voice messages in the color of your choice. Jazz up the table with florals and personalized stickers. Guests can pick up the phone and leave a priceless message. The result is a collection of emotional notes, silly inside jokes and words of encouragement that you can listen to again and again! Many rental companies now also offer audio guest book set ups and some even allow you to customize the greeting!
Invite guests to write a note, prediction, or even a wish and drop it into a decorative container. You can do a box, glass bottle or personalized container with a few accents such as you and your significant other's initials, your favorite flower or anything that represents you as a couple. Open up your time capsule on your 1 year anniversary, 5th anniversary, 10th anniversary and so on! It is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Considering a destination wedding? This is the perfect guest book for any travel-loving couple! Set out vintage postcards or ones of locations that mean something to you. You could also consider your Honeymoon destination as one of the postcards. Guests can write on them and leave notes for you to read! For a fun little twist you could even have them mailed to you if you have a friend or planner who is willing to help you out!
Looking for a little sentimental home décor or something for game night? Look no further, these guest books consist of guests signing wooden puzzle pieces that later come together to form a picture or message or a deck of playing cards that can be customized with engagement photos on them. The puzzle pieces are more symbolic, and leaves room for consistent use as décor around your home. The deck of cards can make its way into game nights with the same people who signed them! A great way to create an interactive experience not just for your guests, but you as well!
Capture your wedding location in a truly timeless way with a custom illustration or print of your venue and turn it into a guest book! Set up a station where guests can sign around the edges of the print, leaving their names, warm wishes or fun little notes. It becomes a framed piece of art that doubles as a memory capsule of everyone who celebrated with you. This option is perfect for couples who want a stylish and sentimental keepsake that can hang in their home for years to come.
Show off your love story by creating a beautiful coffee table book of your engagement photos! Leave blank spaces or margins on the pages so guests can flip through and leave messages, advice, or well-wishes next to their favorite photos. It’s a modern and elegant guest book alternative that not only highlights your journey together, but also becomes a meaningful piece you will want to keep on display long after the wedding day.
At the end of the day, your guestbook should feel like you! Make it personal, and choose a guest book that ties into your theme or love story! Whether you choose signatures, sweet voice messages, or fun videos, the best guest books are ones that capture the spirit of you as a couple. Enjoy the process and remember your guests are there to celebrate you!
