What is a "Guest Book"?

A guest book is a register for guests who attended the wedding to write their names.

In the guest book, guests can also write their addresses, allowing you to send thank-you cards after the wedding. Therefore, it's recommended to have something that can be clearly preserved.

However, the purpose of a guest book is not limited to that. Depending on your ideas, it can also become a memento that lasts a lifetime, preserving the memories of your wedding.

Let's DIY a Cute Guest Book!

It's only natural for stylish brides-to-be to want to DIY a cute guest book! Here, I will introduce various types of chic and cute guest books inspired by overseas trends.

Idea 1: Bottle

A guest book format where guests write on paper and insert it into a transparent bottle. Even though it's just rolled-up paper, it looks so stylish and cute thanks to the bottle!

This version doesn’t roll the paper, but puts it in directly. It creates a very refreshing impression, making it perfect for a summer wedding!

Idea 2: Stump

A large tree stump as a guest book! It’s very simple but gives a warm and gentle impression due to the wooden material.

After the wedding, it can be displayed in the garden of your new home, adding a stylish touch. Like the rings of a tree stump, you want to accumulate time together!

Idea 3: Petals

A guest book designed with rose petals or petal-like designs. Such a cute guest book is sure to brighten up the welcome space. In the end, it might be nice to group them into one flower.

Idea 4: Globe

A type of guest book where guests write directly on a globe! Afterward, it can be used as vintage-style decor... It will undoubtedly become a lifetime memento.

Idea 5: Jenga

A design where messages are written on Jenga blocks. Every time you see it, memories of the fun times playing Jenga at the wedding will come back!

Idea 6: Pebbles

A guest book format where guests write directly on round pebbles found by the riverside. Pebbles symbolize "unchanging love" for each other, making it very romantic.

Idea 7: Shell

A guest book using cute shells. When packed into a large jar, it looks even more stylish and cute. It’s perfect for a beach wedding.

Idea 8: Guitar

A bold guest book using a guitar. Placing it at the reception adds presence and creates a very stylish atmosphere. It’s perfect for music lovers. If you have an instrument at home, why not take a look for it?

Idea 9: Fingerprint

Fingerprint, which translates to "fingerprint" in Japanese. The balloon created from the guests’ fingerprints is wonderful. The red heart in the center is created by the bride and groom's fingerprints, making it romantic.

Seeing everyone press their fingerprints seems like it would be a lot of fun!

Idea 10: Book Title

A guest book where guests write their names in the title section of an illustrated book. It’s a design that evokes stories with each guest.

Idea 11: Bench

Can you think of such an innovative idea? If you place it in your new home, it will be a timeless memory that can be used for a long time.

Idea 12: Vase

A guest book format where guests write messages with a marker on pottery or plastic vases. Changing the types of flowers inserted can also change the impression, adding freshness.

Idea 13: Wine Cork

A stylish and environmentally friendly design using recycled wine bottle corks. You can gather the corks into your favorite shape!

Idea 14: Tanzaku

A guest book styled like tanzaku (small strips of paper for writing wishes). Guests will want to write messages wishing for the couple's happiness. It's recommended for a Tanabata-themed wedding.

Idea 15: Letter Paper

A cute letter-style guest book. Opening the letter paper to see the guests’ messages will surely make you feel excited!
