    I am making a phote guest book at AdoramaPix, and I would like to know if it looks okay before I go ahead and purchase it.

    It is only a 6 X 9 book, but we are only going to have between 35 and 50 guests. Do you think there will be enough space for everyone to write? I have played around with other sizes, but the pictures don't set the way I want them to, so I am hoping this will be good enough.

    You can view the book here.

    @meerkat: Thank you. Do you think it will be big enough? I measured a piece of paper to the size it will be and I think it will be, but I am not sure.

    I really love it!  I love that it is not just white space, and also the sayings on each page are so sweet!  I think you will have enough space for all your guests to write something!

    it looks good! i think there's enough room for people to sign. my only concern would be how readable is the font color for all the quotes on that paper? it looks a little hard to read.

    Yea I think you have plenty of room. I think you can probably get 6 people per page plus most couples will only have one person signing for them so maybe count about 1/3 less in your numbers for that?

    @kitzy: agree--- make sure you get black fine point sharpie rather than pen because I think that a pen would be hard to read on that yellow. Looks great though!

    @kitzy: Thank you. I will see what I can do with the font. I think if I move some of it away from the center of the book, it will be easier to read. The font is the font that I have used for all of the rest of the paper products, so I want to keep the same font.

    @meerkat: Thank you. I should be fine then :-)

    Looks great! I think there's plenty of room, as meerkat said. Also some people might write a quick message like best wishes or the like.

    I changed the layout just a bit, so the words might be easier to read now.

    Well, first of all, I really love your book.  I think the quotes are so well picked out, and really give the book a great feel.  And the pictures are all so sweet and full of love!  I really really like them.  It's a great lay out, and it feels like there's definitely a story being told.  (And I have to say, it's a great set up for a guest book!) 

    And I think there should be more than enough space.  My only thought (that you can SO disregard) is maybe a slightly more um...romantic font?  I think of biblical text and like, old shakesperian plays when I see that style font.  That does give it sort of a strong, powerful quality though, which is definitely not bad. 

    I think though it's really nice, and I thikn it'll be such a wonderful keepsake that the two of you will really cherish.  (Oh, and I think there's definitely enough space for comments)

    @judithsr: Thank you so much :-)

    I appreciate your feedback on the font too. It is just that we are getting married at a castle and we are doing a Victorian theme and it is the font that I have used for everything else, so I am kind of attached to it. I tried some other fonts, but they really didn't sit well with me and the theme.

    @noritake22:  Ok so knowing that, I completely disagree with what I said.  :-)  I think that'll be totally perfect, and totally fits in with the theme.  (And especially if you've already used it everywhere else).  3 thumbs up!  :-)

    Yes, once I figured out what I wanted, it was relatively easy to make.

    Very cute....but one thing I will say as someone who has purchased an adoramapix album before, is that the pages are VERY glossy.  I am not sure if they can be written on, even with permanent markers.  I would suggest calling the customer service and finding out if they can be written to make sure that they could be used as a guestbook in that way.  (Or maybe other bees have used them for that purpose and could comment.)  It may be totally doable, but the first thing that I thought when you said it was for guestbook purposes was the super shiny, glossy, almost plastic-like pages.

    @moneypenny02: Thank you :-)

    I was told by a representative that a sharpie would work just fine on the pages, so I am just going to look for a nice sharpie and have the guests sign with that.
