Today's guest books may be traditional, contemporary, or just plain off the beaten track - here's what you should know about having a guest book at your wedding or reception.

Guest Book Location at your Wedding

It's important to put your guest booklet somewhere easily visible and within a place where a line won't clog the phone coverage hall. The guest book is most often seen outside the main doors on the reception hall, but may be next to the surprise table or in another accessible location.

Who Will be the Guest Book Helper?

It's helpful to assign someone to stand by the guest book to remind visitors to sign it. If your guest book is incredibly non-traditional, a person to provide instructions to guests (certainly very elderly ones) will increase the likelihood of having everyone sign it.

Some brides ask a married relationship party member, while others choose another family member they'd like to honor. (Make sure they will get a corsage or boutonniere to produce them feel special!)

Options for Your Wedding Reception Sign-in Booklet for Guests

The traditional guest book is some sort of white satin-covered volume which includes a space for guests' labels and addresses, but no rule says that the book can't incorporate your wedding colors or idea.

Or, as many LDS couples (and non LDS couples) are now discovering, your sign-in book for a guests doesn't have to be a bound volume in any respect. Here are some alternative guest or sign-in e book ideas for couples yearn something truly different:

• Instant photos beside just about every signature (special photo guest books are only about 30 pages longer, better for small marriage ceremonies)

• Engagement photo which has a wide mat for company to sign (available at photo retailers and meds stores)

• Stay video with guest's recommendations for marital happiness

• Postcards to become mailed to you later (put in a decorative mailbox at the table)

• Antique skis to sign and hold on the wall at property

• Serving platter or piece of pottery to sign

• Signed quilt squares to sew jointly later

• Drop note cards in a fancy photo storage container

• Rolodex with cards containing best hopes, alphabetized by last name in the writer

• Note cards dropped within a large glass jar and also apothecary jar

• Notes in the shape of your wedding theme hung on a fake tree or ornament stand

Some brides overlook the guest book, but others choose to revitalize it with a new spin. Having a record in the guests at your phone coverage is both sentimental together with practical, and your imagination is the limit in regards to having a guest book your LDS wedding reception or non LDS wedding reception.
