    I mean that literally, I created guest book scrapbooks!! With the amazing power of Snagit and Facebook, my fiance and I gathered pictures of ALL of our guests and put together a bride book and a groom book. We numbered the pages and put an alphabetical table of contents on the front of each book to ease the process of finding your page.

    Our guests LOVED it. They were so excited to see what picture we displayed of them. When at all possible we tried to find pictures of us with the guests, if we couldn't we opted for funny pictures, in some cases we used old pictures. For example, for my sister, I put a picture of her and I in pig tails at age 5:)

    It is an amazing keepsake and my husband and I had so much fun reading all the messages in the weeks after the wedding. We put out all different color pens so that it would be more colorful too!

    Logistically, I used cute little heart paper clips to clip the card stock on the outside of the plastic for each page. When all was said and done, we stuck each page back in the plastic sheating for safe keeping and reading!

    What a unique idea!! I love it! You should post a tutorial in the DIY section about how to keep the pages together and how to instruct guests to find their photos.

    Hey Bella - we only had a few people that we invited with dates that we didn't know, and in those cases we didn't worry about a picture of the unknown guest, but did put a picture of the invited friend! For some old friends that we hadn't seen in awhile and couldn't find pictures of, I actually called them and asked them to email me one!

    Whitesonnet - I didn't realize there was a DIY section! I haven't used it. I will definitely post the steps I took to build this there. Thanks!
