We're most likely going to do the large frame with our picture in the middle and have people sign around it. Not sure if that's what you meant by guest book...

I had thought about this too and came to the conclusion its a waste of money unless you will go back to it and read it or do something crafty with it like frame it.

My sister had one and I could honestly count with my fingers how many people signed it. Its something thats overlooked by many guest... in my family they have not time to sign a book they want to eat and dance

BTW hes is in the attic of her house.. Collecting dust for 9 years now.....

You have a week, can't you go out and buy one?

They have them at BBB, Macy's, Target, Michael's, AC Moore...

Skip it. We did not have one and no one missed it at all.

Re: Alternatives to guest book..

you can also buy blank note cards and a vase or something for people to put them in after writing you a message

Make one online with photo's so people can sign it. You could expedite delivery through shutterfly or snapfish or one of those companies. Then, it's a photo album, but with comments and well wishes.

We had make a wish, take a wish. One basket was full of Bible verses, blessings, etc. and the other had blank pieces of paper. Everyone got to take a wish, and then write something for us on the other one.

omg I am your date twin but a year later!!!!

I was thinking of maybe doing something very different, bringing in my own christmas tree and getting some kind of ornament or cards to hang on the tree that people can sign... they can sign them in a gold pen or something and then hang them on the tree... just an idea I have to think about it more!

Re: Alternatives to guest book..

I had no intention of doing an actual guest book, but FH's friend did the frame deal and its hanging up in their apartment and FH loved the idea, he likes pointing out his signature when we go over.

So we're going to try to find a nice one that we would want to display and put some photos in the middle.
