What makes a wedding unique? It all comes down to the details. It’s the small details that paint the big picture for your guests about who you are as a couple, and what you appreciate together. These details set the tone for your wedding and create the general feeling, letting your guests know what to expect throughout the night. This is why you can’t overlook your wedding guest book!
A wedding guest book is the place for your guests to leave their well wishes for you. Traditionally, a guest book was just that: a book. And while there’s still a place for a traditional guest book, and we do still love seeing them, couples are now looking for unique guest book alternatives.
The wedding guest book is a great place to get creative and to show your personality as a couple. There are so many options to fit your overall theme of the day, like going for a more vintage feel with your guest book, or bringing in your love of wine, and representing that through your guest book.
