MemberI’ve been to a wedding where the couple had their engagement photo in a frame and everyone signed the mat instead of a guest book.
Is anyone thinking of doing that? I can’t think of where I found them, but some even had a personalized mat, with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date. (Ebay doesn’t have any.)
Member@MapleBecky:Yes! We are doing this. I believe I bought mine at ExclusivelyWeddings.com for about $60/$70. Ours is personalized too. I liked this idea because you can then put it on the wall and walk by it everyday and read what the people wrote to you on that special day, instead of just stuffing a guestbook in a box in the attic and never looking at it again.
MemberI found one on etsy!! It’s only $20 (plus shipping) and it’s personalized.
MemberI found them at Michael’s (the craft store). It’s just the mat. Then you just have to find a frame for it.
MemberLove this idea! I would love to do this, guestbook seems a bit useless IMO.
Member@MapleBecky: Who is the seller on etsy? $20 is awesome! I am wanting to do this idea also and am not sure where to start looking.
MemberJust wondering how many people will be able to write on it? The picture above has about 12 peoples comments and signatures… I am sure everyone is having more then 12-20 people at their wedding but you also want to be able to read peoples comments and not have them crammed together…
MemberWe were just going to a do a guest book, but I was thinking of doing something more creative and this sounds like a great idea! I may have to look into it!

@Anxiouspeanut: I’ve seen this a few times at weddings. Everyone can sign it! They are big, the picture is 8 X 10.

This mat is 11×14 with a 5×7 picture. a little smaller but holds 120-130 signatures it says. It’s a lot cheaper than the one on etsy, but is not personalized. I will have to do some research and see how much a personalized frame would cost….
Member@futuremrshubbard: The one I got was only $19.99 and shipping was $11 to Canada. 🙂 I think it was $10 in the US. I figure I would have had a portrait in a frame up anyway, so this will double as that and the guestbook. I will take my time looking for the perfect frame.
A tip I read was to have it in the frame without the glass at the wedding. That way, the edges will not get dirty with oils from peoples’ hands, etc…
MemberI got mine at Michael’s for $25. It’s not personalized, but has a 8×10 opening matte and the frame.
