5 Best Alternatives to a Guest Book

Wednesday, January 06, 2021 | By: Doug Burke Photography

Share

Why use something prosaic like bound paper as a guest book when you have way more exciting alternatives? Capture and forever cherish heartwarming sentiments using these 5 alternatives to a guest book!

Wishing Tree

The wishing tree idea is so good that almost everyone will marvel at it with admiration. Beautifully hand-crafted branches in the shape of magnolia, manzanita, or cherry blossom planted in a pot can serve as a natural structure for holding guest messages inscribed on gorgeous cards. This will possibly become the best creative artifact in your home.

Polaroid Fun

One of the most captivating and zestful ideas to bring your guestbook to life is to use a polaroid booth to capture fantastic images of your loved ones. Your guests can leave messages and signatures on the page reserved for their photo.

This guestbook alternative truly rocks because the photo session will be loads of fun for everyone. The guest experience will be second to none and the photographs will make for the most vivid and lifelike guestbook memories.

Custom Wine Bottles

Instead of using a book, why not use custom wine bottles for the job? Custom made wine bottles are a work of art and can serve as a brilliant, creative base for holding the heartfelt thoughts of your esteemed guests. Attach decorative labels on these bottles where guests can write and sign.

Don’t forget to include a pack of colored felt markers so that guests can write and draw on the bottle itself (besides the label provided) to instill their unique artistic spin.

Quilt

You can also make a guestbook from specially crafted quilt. The beauty of this guestbook alternative is that you can hang it on the wall and relive cherished memories for years to come.

Divide the quilt into small square boxes. Each box should have plenty of white space to record guest messages. Throw in a creative border outline for each square unit to imbue aesthetic appeal.

Guest Libs

Looking for something that’s equally wacky and awesome? Mad Libs will serve you well. All kids love it and there is no reason why grownups wont. Guests can fill in the blanks or answer short questions with informal, witty, and funny quips that will leave you laughing each time you look at them.

Conclusion

The best guestbook ideas shown above are a terrific spin to a long-revered tradition for reliving nostalgia. Use these ideas to let the good times roll!
