It’s generally a given that your wedding will be photographed, but what other ways will you be able to preserve the happy memories for years to come? Many people use a guestbook, allowing friends and family to leave meaningful messages of love and well wishing. We know that people are always looking for ways to make their wedding special and different, so here are a few alternatives.
Polaroid Guestbook
It would be a bit of a stretch to call this one unique, since we do see it cropping up at weddings every now and then. It’s easy to see why, though – guests love it. It’s such fun for them to take some candid, goofy photos, and the design makes it easy to add notes. They’re simple to add to a scrapbook and have a charming DIY feel about them.
Think outside the book
Who says a guestbook has to be a book? It’s your wedding so you can make the rules! Use pebbles, storybooks, flags– if you can write on it, it’s an option. It’s even cuter to tailor it to your personal story. Say you met while traveling; a map would be perfect. And if your guests are coming from all over the world, they can sign it on their country!
Video call
When people are under pressure to write a heartfelt message, they may resort to clichés. Leave a smartphone (you trust your guests, right?) or video camera where the guest book would normally be. When guests are in the mood, they can record each other leaving you their pearls of wisdom. This may work best before the open bar gets going, however…
