A wedding guest book is a keepsake that preserves the names of friends and relatives who were present at your wedding. They also provide a great way for your wedding guests to leave personal notes for you and your groom.
Here are a few tips to maximize the use of the guestbook:
Place the guestbook on a decorated table positioned at the forefront of the reception room. The main entrance of the reception area or a foyer of the building is a prominent place for guests to see it and sign it. Another option is to place it at the end of the receiving line for guests to sign after being greeted by each attendant.
Provide several ballpoint pens (avoid felt-tip pens which may run if the book accidentally gets wet)
Ask the last attendant in the receiving line to direct guests to sign the book.
Be sure to arrange for the bandleader to remind guests to sign, or have an usher, friend or relative circulate with the book.
