When finalizing with my Brides one of the questions I always ask them (amongst a million other things) is if they need a table for a guest book. It got me to thinking what do we do with our guest books after the wedding? For some it merely sits on their coffee table for guests to look at when they visit, others store it away in their bookcase and if you are like many of my friends it has found it’s way into your “I don’t know where to put it so I will put it here for now drawer” (admit it we all have one of these).
Here are a few funky new ideas for guest books that are sure to be a huge hit with your guests…

”Rock” your Guest Book – All you need is a table, vase, sharpie and flat stones/rocks. Let your guests leave you words of encouragement. Also, keep in mind you can do the same thing using wine corks. The best part about this is you can reuse this as a centerpiece when you host a party at your house by simply adding a candle on top…whooo!

WOTB (Write on the Bottle) – Place one bottle per guest table. This is a great activity for guests to do while waiting for Dinner to be served. On each anniversary you and your hubby can open one of these bottles and enjoy not only drinking it, but reading the fun messages your guests have left for you on your wedding day!

Hang-ing Out – After writing you a little message have your guests hang it on a tree branch. This makes for a great centerpiece or escort card idea as well. I LOVE taking pictures of these… they are so pretty when finished!

bLinG iT oUT - Who says you have to stick with a traditional white guest book? Find your favorite fabric at your local craft store and recover it. Feel free to personalize it with fun pearls, gems or whatever your little bride heart desires!
