20 Creative DIY Wedding Guest Books

Forego the traditional guest book and let your wedding guests share their words of wisdom and sentiments in a fun and creative way.

Creative Guest Book Ideas

When it comes to wedding planning, we instantly think about the beautiful decorations, colorful centerpieces and the gifts we must make (or buy) for the guests. But other than making sure the space looks lovely with creative adornments, there is something that will make the event even more memorable: a one-of-a-kind guest book. Whether you’re looking for a fun photo wedding guest book or a unique signed wine bottle, we’ve got you covered.

For example, this wood-burned tree slice will charm your guests. Visit your local craft store to find a tree slice for your guests to sign. Consider adding your wedding date and a personalized decoration using a wood-burning kit. Provide pens or fine point permanent markers and include a large sign like this gilded mirror so guests know where to leave their message. If you liked this idea, read on for more alternative guest books that will leave your friends and family in awe!
