Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

It is soooo cute....but I know as a guest I would be the one who wouldn't fill it out.

I think its a little time consuming for a wedding. Cute for a shower though.....

Its cute, but I know that I would NEVER fill it out, unless I was drunk, and then it would be ABSURD.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I actually ordered one for my Bm's baby shower. But...it's all women and I know I am looking for something to do at a shower, so hopefully we will fill it out.

I thought about doing one for the wedding, but ended up buying the pic frame board instead.

To be honest...I think it's a great idea and so cute, but I wouldn't fill it out if I went to a wedding that had it. If you wnat somethig unique what about a serving platter you can have them sign. You bake it in the oven for 3hrs after the wedding and the signitures are saved. We did this and we LOVE it! We used it for Thanksgiving to put the turkey on and at Christmas for cookies and sweets. We love it.

I LOVE this idea!! Where can I get something like that?!

I saw something similar last year at a wedding I went to and it looked like everyone was filing them out. The ones we filled out were plainer than the ones you like and had no space for a pic.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I spent $85 on a guest book & $50 on a pen. Guess how many people signed....

Three. Total waste of money

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I WOULD fill it out. Everyone I know - would not.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I think it is a cute idea. The only reason we are not having one is because I don't know what to do with it after the wedding.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I loved that guestbook and I know that it would be much more interesting to look back on later in life than just a page full of signatures, haha. We're getting that one and doing it at the rehearsal dinner. I dont really care if FH's great aunt Milly who we dont even know signs my guestbook, lol. I want the people who are really close to my heart to sign it; my close family and bridal party members... that's why we're getting the one you wanted, and doing it at the rehearsal dinner. Go for it!!

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I'm having a guest book against my will. FH wanted one..I NEVER fill them out!!! Sorry!

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I think it's great....but....I also think that you will back up any line of people who will want to sign it. If there are too many people waiting and too many people taking too long i think people will walk away and not sign...

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I'm an '07 bride and had a guest book. Only five our six pages were filled in, leaving dozens of pages blank.

It was a partial DIY--I purchased a journal and put some photos of us in it. Thank heavens I didn't spend a lot of time or money on it, or else I would have been really annoyed.

OK...so I really want to get this guestbook and FH TOTALLY thinks people will not fill it out!

What are your opinions?

check me out!!

We had the regular guest book style that was used for both the shower and the wedding. As with anything you will have people who will stop and take the time to sign and others who will not. If you like this particular book then go for it.
Good luck.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

i think it is really cute, but i prob wouldnt fill it out...it would take a lot of time out of the wedding for people, im sorry :(

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

I think it is so cute. However, I think you should nominate someone in your bridal party to make sure that the book is being passed around and everyone is filling it out. I had one for my engagement party. In the beginning of the night when I rememebered I passed it around but only about 25% of the people there filled it in.

Re: help settle a wedding dispute!!!

honestly, i wouldnt fill it out... you're lucky if you even get a handful of people to SIGN a guestbook... just ask past brides ... I'm not even gonna do one b/c ive heard over n over again that it was a waste
