How to Make Your Wedding Guest Book

You can easily personalize your wedding guest book rather than having a generic traditional one that has no personally. Making scrapbook pages for your guests to sign is a fun and creative way to have your guests leave their well-wishes. This is also a great start for your wedding scrapbook! And it's a great way to use all of those extra engagement photo's that you love.

Instructions

1. 

   To make the scrapbook pages you will need to purchase a package of scrapbook paper in your wedding colors. Purchase a variety of designs and coordinating colors. I recommend using the 12 X 12 inch size to give you plenty of room for decorating and to an area for your guests to sign.

2. Be sure to purchase a lot of a plain light colored paper, as this will be what you can use for the guest signatures. For example, if your wedding colors are pink and brown a good color would be a light pink.

3. 

   You will also need to purchase packages of wedding quotes and sayings, wedding themed stickers, and other scrapbook items to decorate your pages. Make sure they all coordinate with your wedding colors.

4. Now the fun begins! Start decorating your pages! This is where you can use all of those extra engagement photos that you loved. Make sure you leave a nice sized area on each page for your guests to write their well wishes and congratulations. The number of pages you make will depend on how many guests you anticipate.

5. 

   When setting up your guest book table you will need a larger area so that several guests are able to sign at once. This will help prevent a long line of guests waiting to sign in. I suggest a 6 or 8 foot banquet table. You will also want to provide quite a few scrapbooking pens for the guests to use for writing in the book.

6. After the wedding you will have a great start on your wedding scrapbook. Assemble your pages into a nice album using sheet protectors. Make your own album cover to coordinate with your wedding colors. See my article: How to Make a Scrap Book Cover.

Tips & Warnings

• Use buttons, ribbon, rivets, embossing, cutouts, and any other decorations you can dream up to decorate your pages. Make sure they coordinate with your colors.

• Use acid free materials for long lasting memories.
