What can I say? I love-love-LOVE our guest books! And I love that our clients love our guest books! We have several different styles for our wedding couples and they are an awesome way to utilize their engagement images!
Many of our wedding collections include the guest book, but clients also have the option of adding one so that they can share their engagement images on the big day!
We offer two different styles–the classic leather-bound style cover and the contemporary glossy photo cover style. I love both of them and I adore designing them with our couples’ personalities and styles in mind!
Our clients choose their favorite 40 or so images from their engagement session and then I design the guest book using their tastes in color, layout, etc. Once the design is finished, we submit the sample to our couples for any changes and their final approval! We love to personalize the books with song lyrics, scripture, or other wording that has sentimental value to our couples.
And by the way, we do the same thing for our wedding albums, too! We work as a team with our couples and they truly appreciate being able to have the input–after all, they are the ones who are going to have the guest book and album as a part of their lives! We aim to please!
These books are such a great way to have a keepsake of engagement images intermingled with the hand-written well-wishes of the wedding guests. Each guest book comes fully bound with instructions and pens for the guest book attendant–simple and ready to go!
Most couples have the guest book attendant guide everyone on the signature process at the ceremony and then the book is also set out at the reception for more signatures and messages! We ask the emcee of the evening to announce the guest book’s presence and everyone loves to sign…
So, let’s show off some of our latest guest books!
The 8×8 and 12×8 books are a contemporary style with a glossy photo hard cover and include 26 sides. Albums can be lined or unlined for signatures from guests or a combination of both! Anything goes!
As I said before, the guest books come with many of our collections, but couples also have the option of adding an engagement session and/or guest book to suit their needs!
Engagements sessions are $200 and include proofs! And here are ala carte prices for our guest books:
8X8 Contemporary Guest Book $150
12X8 Contemporary Guest Book $175
8×8 or 10X10 Leather Cover Guest Book $275
Below is the 8×8 Contemporary Glossy Photo Cover Guest Book–it has 26 pages and is really fun!
This is Ashley and Cody's from July 18, 2009
It was a big hit!
A really popular size is the new Contemporary 12×8 slim line design with a glossy photo cover! I have done several designs for our 2009 clients and the books have been a huge hit at the weddings! Here are few from the past few months–
Courtney and Jamie's from July 17, 2009
At work...
For Courtney and Jamie's we put these really awesome questions--check out the answer! Love the black, lime, and raspberry color scheme!
Brittany and Bennett's from June 13...
Kara and Jason's from April...
We did a kicky little pink textured background on Kara and Jason's...
Terra and Mike wanted the first few pages of their lined--so we did it!
Brittany and Brandon wanted theirs lined as well...
Tiffany and Mark were our first couple to get the new slim-line book! I love the quotes they put in it!
A sweet little note...
And the cover of the book was from their pre-wedding fashion shoot that we did for them at the Rivue Restaurant.
The 8×8 and 10×10 leather-bound guest books are a little different from the contemporary style. The cover comes in black, chocolate, navy, or red and is embossed with our couple’s choice of names, date, monogram, etc. These albums come in a square size and have 20 pages! Some of our couples want the more classic look with their guest book, so they tend to gravitate toward the leather-bound album!
Here are some of our latest designs with the leather-bound albums…
Front cover...
Meredith and Frank went with black pages and silver signatures...
Meredith chose romantic quotations from great writers on their pages...
Last summer, Sarah and Jason wanted everything full lined...
From this summer as well...
We did an apple red background with a heart theme to match their wedding day details...
Last page of Jessica and James' book...
Brooke and Nathan went for a super-simple design...
And Melissa and Nick wanted it neutral but lined...
And Ashley and Parker's from this past June...they chose some really lovely scriptures for their accents to the book.
And you can see the little viewing cards we set out for guests, too! Hope you enjoyed the book designs! We love them!
