For the first installment, I am going to start with a really easy and fun alternative. For one super fun couple I worked with we simply purchased a spiral bound scrap book style photo album, like this...
Then I bought crayons, markers, and good 'ole regular pens. We placed these items in a cool container by the book, and created a frame with the phrase "Draw a picture. Write a poem. Share some words of wisdom."
To give guests a clue as to what we were doing (because it was different), I brought the guest book to the rehearsal dinner and had the parents and wedding party do their signing there. Guest love visuals!
HIP TIP: The family and wedding party are really busy on the wedding day. By taking the guestbook to the rehearsal dinner they will have time to sign it and leave their well wishes without being rushed...and of course you don't want them to be left out of this special keepsake.
Happy Planning!

Hello, Friend...
Thank you so much for stopping and following and samwich365.com. THAT'S COOL!! Your page is SUCH a great idea. I swear I shall never marry again, but anyone I know who is, I will tell about this spot on the web. Am reading your stuff and enjoying very much your writings and interesting tips about traditions of marriage. Take good care, I'll be back. Keri
What a really good idea, I wish I had something like this for our wedding. Just the other day my hubby and I were like, what do we do with this guest book? All our guests just signed their names!! Doing something more creative makes it worthy of keeping!
I LOOOOVE this idea. Thank you SO much. Thank you!
