How to Make a Framed Photo Guest Book

Instructions

    • 1

      Pick up a 20-by-24-inch frame that will complement your decor.

    • 2

      Choose a high-quality mat board in a light color. The mat should be acid-free and not glossy. Be sure the mat has a wide boarder with plenty of room for all your guests to write on - this will replace the traditional book.

    • 3

      Put a print or color copy of your wedding photo under the mat in the frame. (Use a copy of your picture instead of the real one in case someone slips with a pen.) Leave the glass off the frame.

    • 4

      Provide your guests with a couple of acid-free felt-tip pens.

    • 5

      Ask a few friends to sign the mat. This will let others know what the setup is for.

    • 6

      Replace the copy of your photo with the final version you want framed, once the event is over.

    • 7

      Assemble the mat, photo and glass to finish the framed guest book.

Tips & Warnings

  • Provide a scribble pad for people to practice on before they write on the mat.

  • Locate your framed photo guest book away from food and drinks.
