The guests sign the opposite pages of the pics.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/table-numbering-guest-book-alternativesideas-anyone#post-1149157 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:20:25 +0000 LadySunshine 1149157@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We are doing something I saw a close friend of mine and her fiance do for their wedding.&nbsp; We purchased a large frame (one we could agree on that is quite lovely!) I think 11x14" and we purchased a plain, wide white mat so that there will be room for a 4x6 or 5x7" photo inside.&nbsp; We plan to have our guests sign names/write little notes onto the mat and then we will put it in the frame, with a photo of us from our engagement, etc. and enjoy!&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; This was SUPER cute when my friend did it, we liked the idea better than a guest book.&nbsp; And I just saw the framed finished product at her house, hanging on the wall, SO CUTE.</p> <p>Hope that helps! I didn't notice anyone else mentioning it.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/table-numbering-guest-book-alternativesideas-anyone#post-1147224 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:24:03 +0000 ktkates87 1147224@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I made a photobook from <a href="http://www.photobookcanada.com">www.photobookcanada.com</a> 12X14 was 115 (40% off so i got it for $78). It looks great and we had the image wrap so it looks really professional. Lots of space for people to add comments and leave messages.</p> <p>We have tons of engagement photos we like that we're going to use as the table numbers....</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/table-numbering-guest-book-alternativesideas-anyone#post-1147149 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:53:16 +0000 CaitMarae 1147149@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I hate traditional guest books so we are setting up a DIY photobooth in our cocktail area. My future FIL is making us life size thought bubbles out of wood and covering them in chalk board finish. We are going to set up a table with chalk and different props (hats, glasses, dress up stuff) so that our guests can write their "guestbook" entry on the thought bubbles, grab some props if they want and get their picture taken. I am planning on contacting a local college to see if they can suggest any talented student photographers who would be interested in working for an hour. I figure I could get someone for cheap ($50 or so). We are then going to post the pictures to a photo sharing website so that the guests can check them out. After the wedding we plan to make a collage out of the pictures that we can hang in our home.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/table-numbering-guest-book-alternativesideas-anyone#post-1143024 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 22:48:44 +0000 chicaboom 1143024@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><a href="#post-249028">@worldtrekkerbride:</a>&nbsp;That is such a good idea!

And on the back you can always have a little note saying why that place is special for you.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/table-numbering-guest-book-alternativesideas-anyone#post-305301 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:38:23 +0000 mazaya 305301@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love Med0404's suggestion!&nbsp;</p> <p>These guestbook look great.&nbsp; But I'm not totally sold on the design so I'll try and do my own.&nbsp; Maybe I can show you what it looks like when my templates are done.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd also like to find out if there would be a way of binding the whole think like a real book rather than using a binder.&nbsp; I think it looks a little cheap.</p> <p>As per my table numbers... I'm not quite sure.&nbsp; I'm using lots of polka dots (purple and yellow) but I haven't found a way of incorporating those in our table numbers.&nbsp; The place cards will be somewhat similar to the typical 'tent' format that we see except that the front will be round and the back will be round with the bottom part cut horizontally to help it stay straight.&nbsp; The purple and yellow colors will be used to identify which main course each guest chose.</p> <p>Looking forward to hearing other ideas!</p>
