Hi, lovelies! Happy Monday! Today we’re tackling a new Ask Emmaline question from bride-to-be, Lisa, about traditional guest book ideas. She asks,

I’m planning a vintage inspired wedding with a color palette of ivory and gold with black. I need a simple guest book that looks elegant but I’m not sure what style to go with. Any tips?”

Read on to see our response!

Traditional Guest Book Ideas

Great question, Lisa! Classic (traditional) guest books are always a favorite! Guest book alternatives can be fun, but many require additional accessories and steps for guests to take. A traditional guest book requires just a signature (and a little message, if they wish) from guests which usually yields more signatures. Plus, you can use a simple pen marker (like this) and the signatures won’t rub off or bleed through the page. And storage for a traditional guest book is easy: it fits on any bookshelf after the big day!

Here are a few examples of what to look for (we spotted these guest books at Daisyblu) for a wedding theme such as yours. You really can’t go wrong: find a guest book pattern or style you love. This gold pattern is my favorite and would tie into your theme beautifully:

Black and white is always in style and goes with everything, like these monogram or textured guest book ideas:

Here are a few others we love from the shop!

You can find more guest book designs at Daisyblu.

Which one is your favorite?
