I've had a few people ask about my wedding guest book. I absolutely love the tradition of having guests sign a book or object as a keepsake from the day. So many of our friends and family traveled from near and far to spend their day with us, and I will always cherish that! I really wanted to do some kind of guest book that I would want to keep and display in our home after the event was over. I remember in high school I went to a few weddings where the couple had guests sign the matting of a photo of them (usually from their engagement). I loved the idea of finding a way to hang the signatures in your home for years to come.
I have a collection of antlers hanging in our living room above our liquor cart. Since I already had a growing collection of antlers and cow skulls I decided to might be fun to have guests sign a cow skull that I got for the event. Originally I was going to buy a longhorn skull (my father-in-law is a MAJOR Texas Longhorns fan, so it seemed appropriate) but I found one I liked at a flea market a few months before so I decided to use that instead. In case you are curious all the antlers and skulls in my collection are from etsy, flea markets and thrift stores. Plus a few faux ones that I painted to fit in. :)
I think a few guests thought our guest book was a little… different. And rightly so. 🙂 It's now proudly hanging in our home and I love it! I think we will enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for letting me share. xo. Emma

This such an interesting and unique idea. I love the idea of being able to display it forever instead of tucking it away in a box somewhere.

My husband and I did the same thing for our wedding in 2011–but we used the cardboard, 3D printed deer heads for it. Check it out! http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/02/06/des-moines-wedding-by-mark-kegans-photographs/
That is a really cool idea. Thanks for sharing. Also, I love all the antlers and skulls on the dark wall–they really stand out.
Such a unique idea!
That’s an awesome idea! We used a cookbook since we both love to cook. When we are looking for recipes, it’s so fun to read what people wrote on the recipe. Since our wedding was in San Francisco and we live in San Antonio, we took the cookbook to all our events and showers so that people who didn’t go to San Francisco had a chance to sign it.
Love this idea!
That is a very interesting idea for a guest book. The only things I’m not crazy about is the black wall. It’s surprising as a color choice when there are so many colors that would really pop
I can see where Hope put her name— Sparkle Pizza!
I love this idea! Our rehearsal dinner was Texas-themed in honor of the groom. We had guests sign little cards that I can later scrapbook or frame, rather than a book. I love non-traditional wedding ideas for the little things.
how creative. wonderful work of art!
