One of the best ways to personalize your wedding is through your guest book. If a traditional guest book seems too overdone for you, we have come up with some unique wedding guest book alternatives for you to consider.
Guest Book with Photos
What’s better than all your guest’s written messages? A photo to go along with it! Have each guest add a photo of themselves to a scrapbook with their signature and a personalized message. This will make for a great visual guest book of the night. You can use disposable cameras or Complete Weddings + Events offers photo booth rental in Central Illinois to help make the process super easy.
The Central Illinois photo booth attendant will assist guests with taking photos, adding them to the scrapbook, and giving each guest a copy of the photo strip to keep! It’s a win-win party favor for them and a scrapbook of memories and cute messages for you!
Leave A Message
Sometimes written words don’t quite capture the essence and sincerity of messages from your guests. Instead of having your guests write you and your partner a message, what if they left you a message on a phone? That’s where FeteFone comes into play.
Fetefone is a unique way of having your guests remembered and is making its way into weddings. Simply place the phone for your guests to use at any point during your wedding. They’ll pick up the phone, and their voice will be captured. The great thing about this is that you and your future spouse can listen to the messages each year on your anniversary.

Anniversary Wine
If you and your fiance have spent one too many nights at a vineyard, consider having your guests sign wine bottles. This works especially well if you’re having your wedding at a vineyard or Italian-inspired venue.
You can add some extra meaning to the guest book alternative by having multiple bottles with different numbers. Each number would represent the year/anniversary you’d like to open the bottle and celebrate your marriage.
Highlight A Bible or Dictionary
If you and your fiance are religious and have a relationship-centered in your faith, lay out a bible for your guests. They won’t actually sign this one but will highlight their favorite verses for you. These can be verses that can help you out throughout your marriage and help guide you in the good and bad times.
*An alternative for the non-religious couple is a dictionary. Have your guests highlight words they believe will be good to look at during tough times or inspire you!*
Thanks for the Memories
However you decide to remember the guests that attend your wedding, make sure it goes along with your and your fiance’s taste. The biggest question to ask yourselves is, will you be able to put your guest book on display in your own home? Or, will it be something you set aside on a bookshelf collecting dust for years to come? Make a point to review your wedding guest book each year to be flooded with love and memories again and again.
