How to Use a Guest Signature Picture Frame

A guest signature picture frame allows you to place an 8-by-10 photo inside a frame so guests can sign their names on the border of the frame using an engraving scribe. It’s a much more attractive and unique idea than simply having your guests sign a guestbook, because it makes a great display piece. It’s very popular at weddings, but will work for almost any celebration, including bridal showers, anniversaries, graduations, going-away parties—just about any time you want a memorable keepsake from a special occasion.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 8-by-10 photo
• Engraving scribe
• Picture frame
• Small table

1. Obtain the frame and scribe from your favorite arts and crafts store, or purchase online from the links below.

2. Insert your photo into the frame. Depending on the occasion, you could take the picture during the event and put it in the frame later.

3. Select a high traffic area to place your small table. Look for a location that your guests must walk by, perhaps close to the entrance. Place the frame and engraving scribe on the table.

4. Write a brief note inviting each guest to use the engraving scribe to sign the frame. Place the note on the table next to the frame.

5. Sign it yourself first. Your guests will feel more comfortable seeing that they are not the first ones to sign it.

Tips & Warnings

• After all your guests have arrived, check to see if they’ve all signed it. If not, bring the frame and scribe to them and politely request their signatures.
