21 Alternative & Unique Guest Book Ideas
Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in Advice & Planning
Don’t get us wrong, we love a guest book full of inspirational and encouraging messages from your guests, it’s just sometimes it’s nice to mix it up a little! So here’s a few (ok 21) alternative ideas if you fancy something a little different!
♥ Yep, that’s right! JENGA! Get your guests to write their messages on the individual blocks!
♥ Writing on wine bottles is a perfect idea for the couple’s who are particularly fond of a glass of wine, plus it makes a lovely keep sake to perhaps open on future anniversaries.
♥ Well wishes onto a guitar gets our instant approval! We LOVE this!
♥ Guest book alternatives that tie into a wedding theme are becoming increasingly popular, we’ve seen a few like the one above that have notes from guests inside a suitcase!
♥ Here’s another perfect example of tying your guest book into your theme! This particular one was hand made and we adore the messages on the petals!
♥ Guest books that can be displayed afterwards always get our vote, it’s lovely to have a constant reminder of your day.
♥ Messages of encouragement on pebbles. Simply lovely.
♥ You can always lay out lots of coloured pens on a huge table cloth for your guests to sign!
♥ Ok. So in theory this is a guest book, but we love polaroids so much we just couldn’t resist this one!
♥ This ‘Up’ inspired poster lets guests write their messages on balloon shaped card!
♥ Another great example of a themed ‘guest book’. Something like this would be perfect for a woodland or forest inspired wedding!
♥ Putting letters of love where they belong; In a letter box! Gorgeous idea.
♥ Or alternatively, display lots of envelopes for your guests to slot their notes in!
♥ This one is a little different but absolutely brilliant! Instead of a guest book this couple asked their guests to write a story of how they knew the bride or groom!
♥ Writing messages onto a map is great for a travel themed wedding or for a couple who’s travelling after their big day!
♥ aaahhhhhh. Amazing. Messages on a vinyl of the bride & grooms favourite song!
♥ If vintage is something that will be showcased throughout your wedding day then a type writer is a perfect fit for the theme!
♥ Signing the couple’s initials is also something that’s becoming quite trendy!
♥ A guest book tree! All of the lovely messages tied on by ribbon to create a beautiful presentation of well wishes!
♥ ’Share your key to success’. We completely fell in love with this when we saw it! It’s clever and beautiful.
♥ And last, but not least, something quite similar to Jenga, Getting guests to sign jig saw puzzle pieces for future use!
This is obviously just a small sample of alternative guest books, the possibilities are endless for things you can get guests to sign!
If you did something creative with your guest book, please get in touch and let us know!
Much Bespoke Love

I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz answer back as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. appreciate it
Hi, yes we designed it ourselves with a theme that could be customised through WordPress, hope this helps and good luck with your own blog!
Cool site
I am definitely looking forward to
seeing more posts
Guest book puzzles are proving really popular. They are a great alternative and look amazing framed. Even had one order for a 700 piece puzzle that was going to be inlaid into a table. How amazing would that be?
Hi,
As our entertainment we are having a silouhettist who will do two cut outs – one that each guest will take home as their ‘favour’ and another that can be stuck into a guest book for them to comment beside. Is there something better I could do rather than sticking into an average book and writing beside? I just cannot think of an alternative at the moment and would welcome a suggestion. Thanks
I was wondering where i could purchase the large letter of the couples last name so the guests at the bridal shower could write on. You can email me. Thank you
Absolutely love the idea of the logs…we are having logs as the tiers for our wedding cake and also having some personalised as cheeseboards
for the guests…….why didn’t i think of them as guest books too ??!!
Many thanks for the inspirational blog xx
where can i get the jig saw puzzle one i love that idea
Very descriptive post, I liked that a lot.
Will there be a part 2?
There will most certainly be a part 2, this has to be one of our most popular posts ever!
Great original wedding book ideas, thanks.
We have birds as our theme and we were going to go for bird shaped cards to hang on a tree but now i have seen this post i was wondering if anyone had any quirkier ideas…..? x
Beach theme: leave a “message in a bottle” have a large empty bottle out and scraps of paper for guests to write on then roll up and fill the bottle.
The puzzle is my favorite
