Traditional brides don’t have to have traditional guest books. You can purchase a standard guest book and ask your guests to sign it, but there are so many more guest books that are more unique for your Pensacola beach wedding.

Let’s move from the popular to the less well known. One very popular option allows guests to sign a picture of the bride and groom. Simply take a picture of the bride and groom and have it matted in a mat several inches larger than the photo itself. Place a frame around this, but don’t include the glass or Plexiglas frame. You’ll add this later. The picture can be framed after the wedding.

Most couples choose a nice photo of themselves for this picture guestbook option, although if there’s a formal engagement photo, this is an excellent way to preserve that photo and show it off to friends and family. If photos are taken before the wedding with the bride and groom in their wedding attire, you can certainly use this photo. Many couples opt to either leave the mat empty or they place a temporary picture in the mat and add a wedding picture later.

Another option is instead of providing a picture of the bride and groom to sign, the guests are provided with a picture of themselves. Simply provide a Polaroid camera and assign someone the job of taking pictures of the guests as they arrive at the reception. They can sign the picture, make a note to the bride and groom It can be whatever the guest wants it to be. This is a unique, and personal, way for guests to “sign in” at the wedding.
