I made our guest book. I used our engagement photos for the left side of each page, and on the right I created a layout with spaces for guests to sign. We had it printed with a leather cover from My Publisher and were very happy with it.

@snmcdowell- How much did that one cost, if you don't mind my asking? I'm totally lost on what to do for a guest book, and I really like that!
I did a Blurb book. I haven't taken a picture of it yet, but I'll put a link up for a while.

It was a while ago so I'm not certain, but I think it was around $75. They often have coupons, and the price also depends on how many pages you have, so yours could end up cheaper.

i did a wedding wishes basket. I had oragami paper that was in our wedding colors and guests wrote wishes for us to read on our honeymoon and on our 1 year anniversary. I cant wait to read it! Its a little way to make our day last a little longer, eat our cake and read our wishes. But i love that book idea. You could probably do something like that on snapfish. Im a huge fan!!
BTW, our cake will be freshly made, exactly like the wedding cake but, fresher. We had a lil mishap with our topper the day after the wedding and need a replacement (long story)
The guest book that I really want is the Polaroid type ones, but I`m worried about how expensive that might run. I really like the idea of the printed book with the photographs!

Hi there! We had a non traditional guestbook although i do love your idea of a beautiful frame. It's something you will forever hold on to and hopefully display on your wall forever. Since our wedding was designed with a vintage travel theme in mind, we displayed a vintage suitcase and stacks of vintagy post cards for our guests to sign during our cocktail hour. We haven't dug them out just yet but we did spend a hilarious hour the day after our wedding reading all of the comments and well wishes. Eventually we will display them in one of these old fashion postcard wheels. (http://ww2.karnos.us:6001/sk/PBPhotoRacks.jpg)
Here's some photos of our guest book from the wedding. And here are all our wedding photos in case you're interested in seeing the entire theme. http://perfectbound.blogspot.com/search/label/our%20wedding

@snmcdowell & tabby: I love how custom your guest books are, they look really great!
@emielli: I am doing an instant photo guest book. Probaby the most expensive part is the camera & film, it was $90 for my Polaroid Instax camera plus film for fifty photos.
Also, my friends did a framed photo (of DC) as her guest book:

Oh, and if you need an event code to view that photo, type "April"
Cool, we won't have any engagement pics so I was thinking of having a pic of our rings. Please keep the pics coming. Your books also look great!
We just received our frame in the mail from http://idoengravables.com/ - it's really quite gorgeous! We got the one that fits the 5 x 7" picture. I'd heard that the regular cardboard mats fade over time so wanted something that would last a little longer. We really like this idea. Can't wait to put it to use!!! :)

snmcdowell- I wish I had thought of that, that looks great. We did our honeymoon photo album with Mypublisher and used the same leather cover and we love love love it.
I just got a signature mat at the last minute from Michael's for about $12, it's now framed and hanging in our living room next to our 16x20 wedding pic.

angee524! I never thought about ordering our honeymoon too! Thats a great idea!
We chose to use a guestbook that we felt we would use/look at again...
So we purchased a coffee table book, "What to Eat with What You Drink". Our guests can sign buy their favorite wine or food pairing, plus it goes with our Italian/Vinyard theme!
Last try...

We're doing something a little different for a guest book. We found a beautiful coffee table book of America's National Parks. We're going to have our guests sign on a photo of their favorite park, and tell a favorite memory of the park. Then every time we visit that particular park, we are going to add the map of that park and we're going to sign and date it. Hopefully, in several years we will have all the parks covered!
The book, originally $50 was on sale at Barnes and Noble for $19! It should be a beautiful and touching way to remember our guests and even learn a new thing about them and think about them when we visit our favorite parks!

I just ordered our guest book from MyPublisher...actually shipped today. I really wish I would have seen yours before ordering...I like the graphics and the first page. How did you put in graphics? I didn't see the option. Or did you have them saved as photos?
We also have the winter engagement photos...it was actually blizzard like conditions- made for some very cool pictures!

I am debating what to have for a guestbook. I really liked the idea of having a photo framed with everyones signature and well wishes like in the pic but now I'm on the fence.
Bees please post your guestbook and if you have it, the final look. Especially if it's a framed photo.
