1. Polaroid Photo Guestbook

Capture the Moment

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a Polaroid guestbook is the perfect way for your guests to leave a visual memory of the event. Set up a designated area with a Polaroid camera, film, and a backdrop. Encourage guests to take a photo, sign it, and attach it to a designated board or album.


2. Puzzle Piece Guestbook

A Perfect Fit

A puzzle piece guestbook is a fun and interactive idea for your guests. Purchase a blank wooden puzzle and provide markers or pens for your guests to write their messages on individual pieces. After the event, you can assemble the puzzle and display it as a beautiful keepsake of your special day.


3. Wishing Tree Guestbook

Dreams and Wishes

Bring a touch of nature to your event with a wishing tree guestbook. Set up a small tree or branch arrangement and provide tags for guests to write their wishes or thoughts. They can then hang the tags on the tree, creating a beautiful and meaningful centerpiece.


4. Globe or Map Guestbook

World of Love

For travel enthusiasts or those with a worldly theme, a globe or map guestbook is an excellent choice. Provide markers for guests to sign their names and add a personal message on a map or globe. This unique guestbook can also serve as a decorative piece in your home after the event.


5. Vinyl Record Guestbook

A Record of Memories

Music lovers will appreciate a vinyl record guestbook. Purchase a blank vinyl record or use a favorite album cover as the backdrop for your guests to sign. This guestbook idea is perfect for music-themed events or as a nod to your shared love of tunes.


6. Jenga Block Guestbook

Building Memories

A Jenga block guestbook is a playful and interactive option. Provide guests with wooden Jenga blocks and markers to write their messages.

7. Custom Illustration Guestbook

Art of Love

Commission a custom illustration or caricature of the guest of honor or the couple to be featured on your guestbook. Guests can then sign and leave messages around the artwork. This unique guestbook can be framed and displayed as a beautiful reminder of your event.


8. Video Guestbook

Instead of having guests write their messages, set up a video guestbook where they can record a short message for you. After the event, compile the videos into a memorable keepsake that can be watched for years to come.


9. Message in a Bottle Guestbook

A Sea of Love

For a nautical or beach-themed event, a message in a bottle guestbook is a charming idea. Provide guests with small pieces of paper or scrolls to write their messages. They can then roll up the notes and place them in a decorative bottle. The bottle can be displayed in your home as a reminder of the love and well-wishes from your guests.


10. Quilt Square Guestbook

A Warm Embrace

A quilt square guestbook is perfect for crafty couples or those looking for a cozy keepsake. Provide your guests with fabric squares and fabric markers to write their messages. After the event, sew the squares together to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind quilt.
