    The wedding coordinator at my venue suggested doing a thumbprint tree guest book to go with my autumn theme and I fell in love with the idea!

    There are so many to choose from on etsy so show me your favorites or the one you used! I love when they have initials/names carved on the tree too.

    I like this one:Thumbprint Tree Guest Book :  wedding thumbprint tree guest book autumn tree Tree Guest Book

    From: TJ Love Prints

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/74670585/stamp-me-wedding-tree-guest-signature

    You could do thumb prints, or use the leaf stamp that comes with or you can get a flower stamp too... I thought that was a nice one.

    I can't wait to see more though, I had a hard time finding ones I liked!

    Check out this etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/SayAnythingDesign?ref=seller_info

    They have great reviews and have lots of different options and all are customizable. They even have a new exclusive tree which guest sign rather than do the thumbprint.
    What venue are you getting married at?

    We did the thumbprint tree but actually had a good friend of ours who is an artist do it. We just got married on Friday, so we don't have any pics yet- sorry!

    The biggest pieces of advice I would give to you when looking for one is:

    A. Use dye-based inks if you buy your own apart from etsy. They dry faster than pigment-based, thus reducing the risk of smudging or smearing.

    B. Make sure to have enough spots for everyone to leave their print.

    C. Have clear directions. A lot of our guests had never seen this done before and were confused, so I'm really glad we had instructions posted!

    This is ours!  I just had people use basic ink pads and it worked great!

    @hlframpt: Thanks, I really like theirs! I'm getting married at the Vandiver Inn in Havre de Grace, Maryland.

    @brideatbeach: Thanks for the advice! Post pictures when you get them!

    My worry with the fingerprints is that it isn't going to look good or they will get all smudged etc... lol I'm such a perfectionist (and maybe a bit of a control freak) I might be sticking with the stamp... ;)

    But I do love the idea behind the fingerprint.

    I just ordered from TJ Love Prints and received mine in the mail yesterday!  I'm super excited! :) TJ Love Prints will do it with the initials in the tree, however I chose to leave it off.

    This is the one I bought. It's the sample version though, those aren't our names. :)

    I am so excited to use ours next weekend!  We ordered from etsy (designbymadison), and chose one that the guest sign leaves to stick on to the tree, instead of doing fingerprints.
