I actually used a very large from (from Michaels - 40% off!) and a large mat around one of our engagement pictures. Everyone signed it - and now it hangs in the living room!
I have seen people use scrapbooks which blank pages in them....
As far as books go, I've used Blurb and mixbook. I preferred mixbook - VERY easy to use!
I bought a big photo album/scrapbook and a few extra pages from Michael's. I also picked up some photo corners. I took one Polaroid photo - the same size we're going to take of our guests as they arrive - and put a photo corner on each of its four corners. I pulled the adhesive off the the photo corners and placed the whole thing onto a guestbook page. Then, once I pulled out the photo, I was left with four black photo corners perfectly positioned on the page.
Repeat, oh, about fifty times.
We'll take Polaroids of our loved ones in front of a ribbon backdrop as they arrive. During cocktail hour, they can come back and sign next to their pictures.
I found a brand new white guest book at a Goodwill for $2. I covered it in black fabric and added the same silver glitter tulle I used on other DIY. The total cost for a custom guestbook was less than $5.

I used shutterfly and made a photo album. It worked out perfect and everyone signed around the pictures, kind of like a yearbook.
I loved the idea of a photo album because then we can put it out on a coffee table to display.
I also used shuttefly. Mainly because I received a coupon from Daid's Bridal for a free 12x12 because I purchased my dress from them. I love the book and think it is even worth the $50 it would have cost without the coupon.
DH built a bench and we had people sign that. It will go in our bedroom (it's still at my mom's, we've been lazy about bringing things over since the wedding :p)
I was wondering the same thing.
I had some one tell me that they got a scarpbook at Michels and printed on the 8x8 pages and then placed them in the proctive covers for their guest book.
I'm afraid if I print it on a shutterfly or snapfish or any photo book the pages will be too shiny to write on them- you owuld have to use permanant marker.

I'm wondering how you made your guestbook, or where you had it printed.
I've seen some really cool templates on here with pages for the guests to fill out, and I really like that idea, as well as including some photos.
Today in my area there is a groupon for Photobook, so I'm wondering if that would be a cost-effective way to have a really nice guestbook made. For those of you that went totally DIY, how did you do it?
