One of the best ways to add some personalization to your wedding is through your guest book. If a traditional guest book seems too overdone for you, we have come up with some unique guest book alternatives for you to consider.
Wooden Heart Guest Book
Nothing says “I love you” more than a heart with a personal greeting inside. Set out a picture frame with a slot for guests to place small, signed wooden hearts into. It’s a fun way to make guests sign in more interactive, and it looks great!
Guest Book Globe
If you and your fiancé are known for traveling (or you plan on doing so in the future), consider having a globe as your guest book alternative. It’s great for so many reasons. One, it can easily become an accent piece in your home that will be a constant reminder of one of the best days of your life. The other of course is that it captured the signatures of all your favorite people.
Guest Book with Photos
What’s better than all your guest’s written messages? A photo to go along with it! Having each guest add a photo of themselves to a scrapbook with their signature and their personalized message is a great visual guest book of the night. You can use disposable cameras or Complete Weddings + Events Quad Cities photo booths to help make the process super easy.
The 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 is making its way into weddings. You 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 on your anniversary.

Bourbon Barrel Guest Book
Another unique guest book alternative that works great as rustic home décor is a signed bourbon barrel lid. Placing a hand-crafted wooden barrel head at the sign-in table not only works as a way to remember who came to your wedding; it also looks classy!
For a personal touch, you can even have your name and wedding date laser engraved into the wood. There are many different wood types, shapes, and sizes to choose from to make your bourbon barrel guest book uniquely yours.
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 the guest book each year to be flooded with love and memories again and again!
