This sample page from a wedding guestbook was first featured on thesouthern.com, a Southern Illinois online newspaper. The idea holds true not only for wedding guestbooks, but any kind of event for which you'd like to keep a guestbook.

There are tons of great, creative ideas out there that will take your guestbook from boring rows of signatures to a keepsake piece you’ll WANT to flip through after your wedding. Here’s an example of ours: We used a Kolo album and scrapbook supplies to allow our guests to create one-of-a-kind pages.

The Kolo albums are great because they come in a variety of papers, and the one we chose (Kolo Newbury) is bound by a ribbon (which we of course swapped out for one that perfectly matched our green, black & white decor!) To help guests along, I also created journaling stickers with phrases like “What’s your favorite memory about S & K?” and “What advice do you have?” For more, go here.
