I finished the signs for the card box and guestbook yesterday, along with a thank you card for each of my girls.

Fairly cheap. Each 4x6 frame was $3 (and can be reused after the wedding!) The cardstock was left over from other projects.

And we ordered a photo book from Shutterfly to use as our guestbook. We wanted something a little different that allowed people to write as much as they want, so we left several blank areas mixed in with pictures.

(Pictures in next post.)

Hardcover, with a cutout to show the first page.

Oh I love that guest book - I'm hoping to do something like that after the wedding with our wedding and engagement pics since I already have my guestbook and it was free.

I like the font you used. What is it?

I concure! It's a great mix of formal and fun!

Everything looks great. I would never guess it was DIY!

VERY cute guestbook!

Will you have someone attending it? We opted not to have a GB attendant and only had a framed note, like you have, as well as a note in the front of the book asking people to sign their name and other comments. We even had questions on the tops of the pages to prompt them for ideas on what to to write. Unfortunately, people didn't take the time to read the note and we barely got any signatures and only like two comment entries. :-( I sort of wish we had someone there to explain to people that it was okay to write all through the book, and not just their name.

We're having our seating chart next to the guestbook, so we're thinking we should probably get one of FH's cousins to kinda oversee both of them.
