No guestbook for me
Not standard for any of the weddings I've gone to, and I don't know anyone that has actually put the effort in to sign one
We didn't have one. One reason was the same as you; AND we had a very intimate ceremony with 14 guests only... I prefer to look at pictures than read "congrats! all the best to you two" over and over...
:)
I am not really into the guest book thing either. That being said, I do believe that mom is, so I will probably have one since I have already taken so many traditional wedding things away from her already! =)
I'm not going to have a guestbook, but we are putting out 4x6 cards for people to write their well-wishes on. This way, we can mingle these in with picture in the photo album. I figure we'll appreciate them more that way.
We're not having a guest book either. We are having an autumn wedding so we are going to get a japanese maple tree and have little cards where people can sign their name and write a message and hang their card on our tree. That way we can keep the tree and keep the cards for however long we want and not have a book that we will only look at 5 times ever.
We opted not to do the guest book. Who looks at those anyway??? We chose to do a picture frame with a large mat and have people sign around our photo. Plus we can always hang it in our new place!!!
We are having guests take home a pre stamped envelope with a recipe card inside. They can fill it out at the wedding or mail it to us once we get our new address.
We're having an Old Havana themed wedding. I didn't want the traditional guest book either. I bought about 100 old vintage Cuban postcards and will have each guest write us a message with wedding advice, well wishes or whatever they'd like and then put it inside a mailbox we purchased. We're planning on using the mailbox in our first home.
We're not doing a guestbook. But we are doing Make a Wish/Take a Wish.
We have a Japanese theme (b/c we fell in love in Japan) and came up with a bunch of Japanese proverbs to put in the "Take a Wish" vase. Then we used scrap paper from the invites for the Make a Wish cards. Here's a pic:
No guest book. I'm thinking about instead having people sign smooth river rocks with their well wishes, and using the rocks in a clear vase back home. Haven't fully thought it through, but thought it could be neat. Something that I would actually look at.
No Guest book for us either! I also often forget to sign them at friends weddings, and I doubt we will look back at a guest book very often anyways. I will probably hold on to all of the cards that we receive though...
None for us either! We're contemplating doing a twist on prayer flags and have everyone write down wishes for us on those.
No guestbook here! We're going to have a faux-tobooth and we're just going to be asking guests to use that as an alternative to the guestbook :-)
I am having a guestbook, but instead of the traditional "sign your name here" type, we are putting it next to the photobooth with photo corners so guests can include a photostrip with their signature or note. Thought that might be fun.
I don't think we'll bother having a guest book at the reception, people rarely sign anything other than their name any way.
We are considering having best wishes bowl or something, but will probably just put something together with photos after the weddingrather than before.
I saw these photo mat frames you sign with a diamond tipped pen at a Bridal Show and thought it was cool. I showed them to FI and he liked the idea too (I had thought about having people sign quilt squares). We're going to get the biggest one. I should order it now!
We are having a guestbook/scrapbook. I want to buy an album that I can mount pics and keepsakes of ours that I have saved over the years. I will have someone taking digital pics of our guests to be mounted onto the book also with photocorners and guests can sign by their pics. This way I figure I will actually look at the thing after the wedding.
we're doing random shaped cards in our wedding colors. There will be a lantern for people to put them in (you can use a vase or something like that). after, I'll put them into our wedding scrapbook along with a copy of our invite and pictures and such...I think it's a more creative idea than a regualr book
Nope. I don't think it's necessary and like PP's said so one really signs it anyway and I don't think we'd ever look at it. I rarely ever sign the book at a wake, nevermind at a wedding. I never know what to write on those things, I don't want to put my guests through the same.
We didn't do a guest book, but something more like a Quaker Marriage certificate. Something I can frame and now hang in our house!
Check out my blog post about it here:

And a picture of my Maid of Honor signing the finished product:
Well I didn't care one way or the other until I was watching a show and this couple had a really pretty "picture" up on their wall in a gorgeous gold frame. When the camera got close to it you could see written in gold ink on black paper were"Congratulations on your wedding!" "We love you!" things like that and I loooved it!! Sooo I'm pretty sure that's what we are going to do! Minus the gold since that isn't in our color scheme.
We're buying one of the signing guest mats from BBB. I was going to just buy everything seperate, but I priced it out and it would cost more to do it that way if I use my coupon for BBB and if I don't use the coupon it'll be the same price, so I'd rather just buy the package.
We're doing a platter for signatures and fabric swatches for messages/well wishes to be quilted together at a later date (once I learn how to quilt...so much later)

I hate to admit it, but I rarely bother signing a guest book at a wedding, and if I do, I don't write much other than my name. Is anyone not bothering with one? Or do you have any creative and less expensive ideas for this rather than buying a guest book?
