What kind of design for a binder-style guest book?
Guest books can be book-type that come in booklet form or card-type where each person writes on a separate card. However, recently the "binder type," where guests write their names on a single sheet of paper, has become mainstream.
Since you only need to prepare the binder and the paper inside, it doesn’t take up much space, and it is popular for being stylish and easy to write on.
What design does the paper for the guest book in the binder have?
