For those of you who still like the idea of wedding day {book}, I present to you Option #2... The Adesso Wedding Photo Guest Book.



These photo guest books can be personalized for your special day. According to theweddingchannel.com, they are a unique "marriage" of a photo album and a guest book. From the time you arrive at the church to the time you leave the reception, the events of the wedding day are a blur for most brides and grooms! With Adesso Wedding Photo Guest Books, you can take the memory of your special day with you on your honeymoon in a photo album and guest book combined!

One of the pros of choosing this option is that this will be a great way to capture a photo as well as the thoughts of your guest on your special day. It is also a great way to engage your guest as they are waiting for your arrival. It's a win/win situation!

On the other side, finding a polaroid camera can be quite challenging and according to the number guest that you are having the film for this can get a bit pricey. An alternative to that could be to print pictures from a digital camera on the spot... It just depends on how well you like the idea...

At any rate, I have to admit that a unique, Adesso Wedding Photo Guest Book to gives you the opportunity to relive your special day instantly and for years to come!

Yes, you want to keep a record of those who celebrated with you or maybe to send out heart felt thank you notes, but are their options that will allow you to collect this information accurately and creatively???? {You don't have to have guest book to collect information to send out thank you notes... just use the labels from the gifts and the address list that you used to send send out your invitations}. So with that being said...the answer is yes, there are other options and I want to present to you Option #1.....



Wishing Tree/ Guest Tree

The Wish Tree is a Dutch wedding custom where guests are given a piece of paper, either shaped like a leaf or made of card stock. The guests write their wishes to the bride and groom and then hang it on the tree.



This idea combines the idea of a guest book and a "best wishes" guest area. A Wishing Tree is a potted, "indoor" tree that will feature paper "ornaments" which contain guest’s best wishes to the couple.
