I'm debating if I even need one. At first I thought about doing the photo w/the signing mat. I don't know, I'm feeling like the whole guest book thing is just something else to spend $$ on, and then what do I do with it after the wedding?
Is anyone not doing anything like a guestbook? Do people really even look for it?

I'm doing the sign in board because I dont need any more junk in my house!!! i know we would probably read through the guest book once, and never look @ it again. With the sign in board at least you can put a wedding pic in it & display it in your house.

Nope.. I NEVER sign them..I don't think I have even seen them at weddings to be honest with you.

Re: Are guest books really necessary?
The only reason I have obne is because my parents got it for me and were set on me having a guest book. I told them that many people don't even sign it anymore...but they got me one anyways...so we'll have one. I don't think they're really necessary though.

you definitely don't have to. I did the picture frame/mat thing and it looks really nice with all the writing on it. Eventually i'd like to hang it in my home office....whenever we buy a home!

We are not having a guest book. They are nice but for us it will be one more thing to store.

I am not having a guest book - I doubt anyone will look for it or miss it.

I printed and cut out 4x6 sized cards, so that my guest could write individual messages. Afterwards we put the cards into a 4x6 photo album. I haven't read all of them yet. DH and I will do it on our first anniversary.

NOPE - no one writes in them and the few who do doesn't make it worth having another book laying around.

We got a signature platter. I think it will make a cute display piece in the china closet. I am one of those cheesy people that likes to sign things like at camp when we used to sign each others shirts LOL.

Re: Are guest books really necessary?
nope, not necessary at all. we had one because i really wanted to make one (had an idea in my head) -- the messages in it are nice (a lot of people did sign it) but it was more of an 'i want to put out this pretty thing on the table' -- we now have it on our coffee table in our apt. i plan to glue in some of our cards, maybe some other items from the wedding, and some photos. more of a 'wedding scrapbook with a pretty cover'
definitely not necessary at all though

Re: Are guest books really necessary?
We skipped the guest book, totally not necessary IMHO.
I had a sign-in board at my Bat Mitzvah, I think its stored in my parent's basement somewhere
