15 Wedding Guest Book Ideas That Go Beyond Pen and Paper
When you think of a wedding guest book, does your mind jump to a blank hardcover filled with well wishes in cursive? Sure, that’s sweet. But in 2025, couples are reinventing the wedding guest book—and we’re here for it.
From instant photo uploads to collaborative digital albums, modern weddings are embracing new ways for guests to leave their mark. Whether you want something sentimental, hilarious, or interactive, this list has something for every couple.

💡 Perfect for: Modern, tech-savvy couples who want candid moments from everyone’s perspective.
Polaroid Scrapbook Table
Set up a table with a few instant cameras, tape, and markers. Guests snap a pic, stick it in, and leave a message. It’s charming, tangible, and great for low-tech weddings.
Guest Book Globe
Have guests sign a vintage globe or modern travel-themed one—perfect for travel lovers or destination weddings.
Typewriter Notes
A romantic, nostalgic throwback. Leave a vintage typewriter with some paper. Guests will love clacking out their notes in old-school style.
Puzzle Guest Book
Let guests sign puzzle pieces you’ll assemble later and frame as art. Interactive and symbolic.
Audio Guest Book
Rent an old-school rotary phone that records voicemail-style messages. You’ll cherish hearing people’s voices for years to come.
Wedding People Book
Make a fun photo book in advance of all your guests—name, how you met, favorite memory. Leave space for others to write beside their photos. Think yearbook, but for your wedding.
Digital Frame with Message Uploads
Set up a rotating digital photo frame where guests can upload messages and selfies instantly. Display it live during your wedding.
Art Canvas Guestbook
Instead of a traditional book, have guests paint or write on a large canvas. Instant wedding art!
Advice for the Couple Cards (with a Twist)
Add QR codes to your cards that let guests attach photos or videos to their advice.
Wine Bottle Notes for Future Anniversaries
Have guests write messages to be opened on your 1st, 5th, and 10th anniversaries. Make it even better by adding a photo card using PYM after the wedding.
Video Guest Book Booth
Set up a small booth or iPad where guests can record short messages. Easy to edit into a sweet compilation.
Guest Book Quilt
Have guests sign quilt patches that are later sewn into a cozy memory blanket.
Wooden Hearts in a Frame
Guests write on wooden hearts and drop them into a clear frame. It’s minimal, meaningful decor.
Shared Wedding Hashtag Photo Book
Invite guests to post on social media with your custom hashtag, then use PYM to collect those memories into a surprise photo book afterward
Closing Thoughts
Your wedding guest book doesn’t have to be basic. Whether it’s handwritten, audio-recorded, or filled with candid shots of Aunt Mary dancing to Beyoncé—your guest book can (and should) reflect you.
