One of the most vital pieces of memorabilia for your wedding is the guestbook, as you are likely to have it around for years to come after your wedding. With this book, your guests are given that opportunity to know that they were at the event when they sign it and leave their own personal message to accompany it. That way, in the future, you can open up this book and reflect on how that day was for you and your family.
One of the main issues with these wedding guest books is that people do not sign them. This is a problem that is fairly common for wedding receptions, but there are a number of things that you can do to increase your signing rate. Use the tips below to ensure that you get more people to sign as well as advice on the type of guest book you should go for.
First, instead of the typical guest book at the wedding which is left open for people to sign on their own accord, you could opt to have designated pages for each individual guest and give them enough room to express themselves through a comment. In order to simplify things for them, you could find a photo of the family of every guest and display it at the top of the page. With this in place, it will ensure that they will find the page that has been assigned to them, and it will also ensure that they leave a comment, especially if they see an old picture of themselves.
Instead of designating a location for the guest book at the reception of your wedding, you could purchase a guest book that is styled more like a three ring binder, enabling you to place the pages wherever you want, once the wedding has finished. This way you will be able to put certain pages on the table that your guests will be seated on during the wedding reception. This will also make it more likely for them to sign it, if they see a page that is positioned in front of them once they seat down.
It would also be a good idea for you to reposition the guest book throughout the course of the evening, just to ensure that everyone gets an opportunity to sign it. You could positioned it at the dinner table were the newlywed couple are sitting, and near the exit doors later on, so those who missed it, can sign it on their way out.
