Over the last year we’ve seen some truly creative alternatives to guest books in the real weddings featured on Sweet Violet Bride. If a traditional guest book is not what you’d prefer but you still want a fun way for your guests to sign their name or maybe even jot down a few words of advice, then these ideas are great options. Have them sign a chalk board, tree slice, quilt, or stamp their thumbprint as leaves on a tree drawing which you can later frame.  Have them type their note on a vintage typewriter, or simply provide pretty paper and have them place their notes in an object such as a vintage mailbox or birdcage. Whatever you do, have FUN!
