Alternative Wedding Guest Books
Your wedding guest book is a beautiful memory that you and your partner will treasure forever. The personalised messages, the quips and quotes you share with loved ones, the funny hand drawn pictures from your friends are something that you will want to revisit over and over again! However, the classic wedding guest book may not gel perfectly with your wedding theme and style. That’s why team Haarlem have put our heads together to come up with a list of alternative wedding guest books that you may find represent you and your partner in a more creative and original way.
1. The Musical Guest Book
If you or your partner happen to be a musical genius, then centring your wedding guest book around this aspect can help showcase your fantastic talent and dedication to music! Why not allow your guests to sign an important instrument close to your heart such as an acoustic guitar or ukulele? That way you can immortalise the instrument forever by hanging it within your home! Every time you see it, you can be reminded of the beautiful day you experienced together.
2. The Sporty Guest Book
If you or your loved one is an avid sportsperson, then it might be an idea to consider presenting your loved one’s messages on a related piece of sports equipment. Do you love to surf? Maybe you’re more of a skier. Getting beautiful decorative sports equipment can add a touch of elegance to your guest book and like the above, is a great piece to show off in your household to remember the day for years to come!
3. A Guest Book Quilt
We absolutely love this idea! Imagine cosying up by the fireplace to watch a film with your partner in years to come and wrapping yourselves up in your wedding guest book quilt! All you need to do this one is to select the quilt and get your hands on some fabric markers. If it’s patchworked, this could make it easier for each of your guests to section off their messages.
If you don’t have space for a whole quilt, maybe set up fabric swatches for your guests to sign and sew them together at a later date!
4. Monogrammed Globe Guest Book
For the travellers out there, we’ve got your back. If you’re planning to jet set your way across the world for your honeymoon, then why not use a monogrammed globe as an alternative to your wedding guest book? The beautiful keepsake can be kept as a decorative piece in your living room or study! Guests could even sign in the spot where you met, if you’ve picked friends up along your travels.
5. Wedding Jenga Guest Book
Games from our childhood are not only nostalgic, but let’s face it, they are still fun to play! That’s why we think that a Jenga block wedding guest book is a fantastic way to immortalise your day. Each guest can utilise their own individual block and stack them as they go!!
