For those who did the guest book...

We had them on display by the place cards. We actually put them in basket that is used for picnic tables - the long side for the napkins held the pages and we used the utencil portions for a bucnh of different colored markers. We got both at Michaels, probably spent $15 on both the basket and the markers.

The DJ made an announcement to fill them out and some of the guests grabbed a bunch for their tables. I honestly have no idea how they were collected though.

Christine - have you assembled the book yet? How did it come out? I just bid on one on ebay! The one off the website was $96!!!! So I was totting around on ebay and found the same one for $25! So I bid on it - we'll see what happens. Did anyone fill them out?

No, we didn't assemble it yet, DH accidentally threw out the posts to put it together. But quite a few people filled them out, I'd say we got about 45-50 of them which is almost half of our guest list.

Some people wrote the standard things like good luck, don't go to bed angry, etc. Others went all out writing stories, memories, pictures, etc. I am glad we have it. I think it's much nicer then the traditional guest book where most people sign their names.

You could probably create your own fairly easily and print it out on nice card stock. If you check Michaels or some place like that for album sizes, you can format the sheets to fit in there.
