Guestbooks

Most weddings you go to have a guestbook, where everyone can sign their name and/or address to let the couple know who attended their wedding, as it is really hard to remember with all that goes on on a wedding day.  I prefer a Guestbook with images from the engagement session over the traditional lined version.  I think this does a fantastic job at letting the couple know who attended their wedding and it also lets the guests see some sweet images of the newlyweds.  In addition, I have my bride and groom give me a short version of their engagement story to put on the inside flap of the book.  I feel this gives guests a little more insight into the couple and helps make the day a more intimate affair.  The biggest advantage for the couple; they are much more apt to actually get the book out and view their images and comments friends and families made, instead of just their name.

Guestbooks come in a few different sizes, with 10×10 being my favorite and most common.  You can choose from fabric, leather, or a custom photo cover and any cover can include a dust jacket, which is where I mentioned a great place for the engagement story is.  The books are press printed with a hard cover and can have up to 50 pages.  They open and lay flat making it easy for people to view and sign them and the pages feel marvelous.  For more detailed information, please contact me.

The pictured book is Zayna and Rani’s.  Their wedding is tomorrow!

Their’s is a 10×10 with a custom photo cover and a dust jacket.

You can see how flat the book lays with about a 4mm gap between pages.  Notice the book and dust jacket match perfectly.

Here’s the inside flap with their engagement story…

The pictures are spread out with plenty of room for people to write.

Here’s the layout to get a better feel for what it looks like.
