I'm thinking wish bowl or a guitar. Not crazy about the plate idea.
Any creative suggestions?

I'm thinking of doing what hunnybunnyxoxo suggested... at first I was just gonna do guestbook but then I starting thinking that it will probably just sit around and collect dust and no one will ever look at it... but if people sign the mat behind a pic of us and we get it framed we can hang it up somewhere and it might actually get noticed every once in awhile.

Re: Alternative to
I found an article online but there were no pics.
1. The Wish Bowl Here’s an idea that won’t even cost you a dime. The purpose of a wedding Wish Bowl is to provide an opportunity for guests to wish good fortunes to follow the Bride and Groom wherever they go. The idea is to have your guests write their wishes for love and life on little slips of paper and place them into a crystal or decorative glass bowl or vase. You don’t even have to buy one if you have a nice vase or bowl at home. For a more formal presentation, the slips of paper can be placed into little matching wedding stationary envelopes. The stationary paper and envelopes should match the bride’s color theme and/or wedding stationary. After the wedding winds down, the notes can be savored, then tucked into a wedding album or scrapbook while the bowl or vase goes back to its pride of place in the home (but this time, invested with even more memories).
2. The Wish Tree The Wish Tree theme, similar to the Wish Bowl, is for guests at the wedding to write down their wishes for love and life to the bride and groom - except a tree stands in for the bowl when it comes time to collect the wishes. There are many types of Wish Trees - your can purchase metal ones, or create your own using blooming branches from a garden or florist, or even use a live potted plant such as a fichus tree. Gift boxes can be hung from the tree of your choice and your guests can take a box off the tree in exchange for their wishes. After the wedding events are over, the wishes can be taken off the tree and placed in a keepsake box, scrapbook or album.
3. The Signature Platter Wedding Signature Platters or plates make a unique alternative to traditional wedding guest books. Platters can be plain, decorative or even custom-designed and ordered online or from a wedding stationary store. Guests simply sign the platter during the wedding event with a special ceramic marker . After the wedding events end, the platter is fired in your home oven. The special signature platter can be used for serving favorite dishes at future dinner parties as husband and wife, or just as a decorative memento of the special gathering.

I think so...We posted pics about it.
Oh heres more pics of things to do for EV and anyone else wanting this info:
Here is a guestbook table, but its beautifully done, and a wish bowl that i posted on BHB to the same thread but i will post here.
Also, you can rent the photobooth and I know people come and work the booth and set up a whole guest book using guest pics and have them sign the book next to where there pic goes in the book.
