Choose a large ceramic platter with lots of blank space for writing. You may decide on a platter with a decorative border or a small motif in the center, but make sure there's plenty of empty space for wedding guests to write notes.

Arrange the platter and two or three porcelain paint pens on a table at the wedding reception. Direct guests to the table and encourage them to sign the ceramic platter guest book.

Provide instructions for effectively using the paint pen. For example, if you use paint pens with a valve system, place a placard on the guest book table that directs guests to shake the pen and repeatedly push the pen tip on a piece of scrap paper until the ink flows smoothly and then sign the guest book.

Allow the writing to dry completely.

Bake the ceramic plate in the oven to set the ink and make the ceramic guest book a machine-washable keepsake. Follow the porcelain paint pen manufacturer's instructions for oven temperature and baking time.
