Recently, it has become common to receive messages on items other than paper guest books (such as heart drops, puzzles, posters, and Jenga), and items that received messages from guests become treasured keepsakes for a lifetime ♡

Senior brides prepare various original items, but in this article, we will introduce stylish guest books that can be found at overseas weddings that have not yet been seen in Japan.

We picked items that will make guests say, “I’ve never seen this before!” ♡

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #1: Acrylic

There are various acrylic items such as marriage certificates, invitations, and welcome boards, but I feel like I haven't seen a guest book made of acrylic yet.

If guests write with white or gold posca, it quickly turns into a trendy guest book ♡

It's just a matter of preparing a large piece of acrylic, so there's no need for DIY, which is a plus.

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #2: Frame

Here’s an idea of using a frame as a guest book. Since it’s not just acrylic, you can choose a frame that fits the theme of your wedding ◎

It’s also nice to pre-fill it with text or illustrations like this＊

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #3: Wood

For brides with a rustic or natural wedding theme, how about using a large "tree"?

A guest book carved from a large tree would match the decor of a natural new home.

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #4: Wire Mesh

An idea to have messages from guests rolled up and placed in a wire mesh that resembles a beehive.

It will be exciting to take out and read each message one by one ♡

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #5: Envelope

An idea to have messages placed in small envelopes affixed to a notebook.

If you pre-write guests' names on the envelopes and have them insert messages, you can exchange letters ♡

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #6: Wine Bottle

For wine-loving couples, having guests write messages on a wine bottle is lovely.

Preparing a commemorative wine for the year you started dating, or having a personalized wine bottle makes it even more memorable ♩

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #7: Voice Recorder

Here’s an idea of recording messages not in writing but on a voice recorder!

Guests might find it easier to express things they feel a bit shy about in front of a videographer into a voice recorder instead＊

It's a fun idea that captures the feel of the wedding atmosphere ♡

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #8: Typewriter

This is a unique idea of using a typewriter as a guest book, typical of overseas weddings ♡

It might be interesting for couples with international backgrounds or many friends proficient in English to try this out＊

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #9: Message in a Bottle

I have seen "messages for the couple in 10 years" placed in bottles, but I haven't seen "messages for the couple in 1 year" or "messages for the couple in 2 years" before＊

I would love to have guests write messages in as many years as they like ♡

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #10: Postcard/Photo

An idea to write messages on the back of postcards or photos.

You can lay out a lot of postcards from places you have been or memorable photos and let guests choose from them ♩

Guest Book Found at Overseas Wedding #11: Album

An idea to create an album and have guests write messages in the blank spaces.

If there are too many pages, it may be difficult to decide where to write, and there’s a chance of having lonely pages that no one writes on, so it seems best to keep it under 10 pages.

It’s recommended to take photos with plenty of blank space during pre-wedding shoots ♡
