5 unique guestbook ideas for your spring wedding

Spring is such a colorful, whimsical, and exciting time, and there are so many ways to make your wedding reflect the season. A great way to add a pinch of uniqueness to your special day is to customize your guestbook. While a traditional guestbook is timeless, mixing it up is sure to create a lasting impression both on you and your guests. It adds an element of fun to the experience and will keep people engaged and excited. Most importantly, you will go home with a day full of memories, and an incredibly special way to look back on them. Follow along for some unique guestbook ideas to spice up your day!

""Voicemails""


There are many companies that now offer the option of an audio guestbook. Essentially, you are given a phone that allows guests to pick it up and leave you a little voice message, rather than writing one down. You are then able to transfer all of the messages as one audio file to a thumb drive or your computer so that you can listen to them whenever you like. This is an amazing way to travel back in time to your special day whenever it's on your mind! You'll be able to actually hear your loved ones well wishes and messages in their voice, which makes them that much more special. There are a variety of phone styles to choose from depending on the company you go with, so you're sure to find something that fits your wedding perfectly.


polaroid camera


If you want a fun and interactive way to remember the smiling faces of everyone that came to your wedding, a polaroid camera is a perfect option! Guests use the camera to take photos of themselves as they arrive, and can sign them with their name or a special message. The photos can then be hung with clothespins at your guestbook table, sort of like a collage of all of your loved ones! You may decide to add the photos to an album or frame them to hang at home afterward. The choice is yours, but there's no denying that this is an incredible way to remember an amazing day!


BUCKET LIST


Spring is a time of growth, change, and new adventures, so what better way to nod to the season than by having your guests give you some bucket list ideas? You could do it in a list style and have guests write down adventures that they think you should experience as a new couple, or have them pin little notes to travel destinations they suggest on a map. Looking back on all the suggestions will give you inspiration for trips you can plan and memories you can make together! And who doesn't love a good travel tip?


Quilt



Keeping family and friends close is easy when you can snuggle up in a quilt made up entirely of kind messages and warm wishes from them directly! A guest quilt is a stunning alternative to a traditional guest book as it can double either as a piece of art or a functional blanket. The way it works is that you provide guests with singular quilting squares that they can sign or write messages on with fabric markers, and then have them all sewn into a quilt; you can do this yourself or have it done professionally. While it may last you longer if you have it framed and hung in your home, it won't hurt to cozy up to it once or twice before you do!

Jenga



Perhaps the most literal interpretation of a playful guestbook involves using the game Jenga. Guests will each take a Jenga block, sign their name or write a brief message, and it will be added to the stack. From then on, every time you play Jenga you'll be reminded of your amazing wedding day. It's an incredibly whimsical and engaging way to remember your day and incorporate a bit of humor into your planning. Your guests will think it's sweet and it will definitely be remembered!

choose what's right for you



In the end, it's important to stay true to yourself and your vision! There are so many guestbook options and this list is just the tip of the iceberg. If you feel like something more traditional is a better fit for your wedding, then make it happen! If you're looking to add a little bit of adventure and individuality to your planning, the guestbook is a great way to incorporate that. No matter what you choose, it will be impactful and you'll have memories to last you a lifetime!
