As part of my photography package, our photographer will enlarge one of our engagement photos and mount it on a board. As guests arrive they are suppose to sign around the photograph. Would it still be necessary for me to have a guest book? I'm thinking it would be pretty redundant having both items
I was at a wedding last Friday where this was done. The couple used their framed engagement picture for the
'board'. They plan on hanging it in their home. The picture was big enough for a lot of people to sign(altough I don't think all of the guests signed it). The key is to get the right kind of pen to sign it with-one that is not to bold or fat. The next thing you may want to think about is where you would display it during your reception, and if your band/DJ will make an announcement to your guests. You could have the guest book at the entrance before your ceremony for the guests to sign. Keep in mind it's your wedding, what ever you do will be right! Good luck.
I always thought guest books were a standard item for weddings. If well placed, it's an accurate list of people that actually attended. You would have to assign someone to take charge of the book to make sure everyone has a chance to sign it. Normally passed around during cocktails but I've seen it passed during dinner to make sure everyone had a chance to sign it.
