These days wedding guest books are quite popular with the couples who are planning to tie a knot. The guest book is placed at such a position in the wedding area so that the guests do not forget to sign it. The guests are usually encouraged to not just sign the book but also to leave a small message for the couple as a memory. This guest book serves as a very special reminder as to who attended your big day and their wishes for you.

There is a wide variety available out there from which you can choose your wedding guest book. However, when selecting the book makes sure that you choose the one that goes with the rest of the theme of the function. Once you have got the right kind of the book the next thing that we will be discussing here is going to be that how to make sure that the guests do not forget to sign it.

• The first factor to look after is to make sure that the location of the book is such that it is quite prominent and the guests are able to see it without any trouble. Generally the location that is chosen for this purpose is the entrance to the reception. The position however, is placed in such a manner that the entrance does not get clogged and guests face the inconvenience.
• If you have someone monitoring the guest book it will be very helpful. The person can politely remind the guests that they sign it. Also if you decide to make it a video guest tape then that person can handle the camera and make sure that no one let out of the recording.

These were some of the tips to make sure your guests don’t forget to sign your Wedding Guest Book.

Mostly couples go for the traditional wedding books however; there are other ways in which one can get the messages from their guests recorded.

A few of the suggestions on this matter are given as follows.

Option 1- This is perfect for small weddings where the guest list is not an elaborate one. Make sure that someone is assigned this duty of taking photographs of the guest which can be put in a guest photo book and in front of their pictures they can leave their messages.

Option 2 – It is the age of technology. There are a number of video cameras that are available for the use of the general people. Get someone who is into this technology to use the camera and get the messages of the guests recorded as they enter the reception area.

Option 3 – Asking the guests to record or write a message at the entrance is kind of rushing them into doing it. This may end up in you having very simple un-thoughtful messages as not everyone is good at wording their emotions in a rush. To make sure that the guests have all the time they need and do it the way they want to. Leave cards on the guest tables with a box. This will allow the guests to write down their messages and place the message cards in the box that is placed on their table. At the end of the function, the couple can ask someone, or during the planning of the event assign someone the duty in advance that he or she or a couple of them can collect all these cards from all of the guests and then give to the couple. You can keep these cards bounded by a ribbon or you can take a wedding guest book and paste these cards in them. To give a more personal touch you can manually make a wedding guest book using your artistic side and place these message cards by your guests in them the way you want. This will be the most upfront and personal style.
