If you’re planning a winter wedding and want a fun alternative to a traditional guest book, listen up!
A book is nice, but an ornament guest book? That’s even nicer! 🎄
You can give your guests ornaments to sign and place on a tree instead of a typical flip-through book as a keepsake. What a beautiful idea for winter weddings!
Your guests can place ornaments on a faux Christmas tree set up at your reception to create a unique guest book station. For years to come, you and your spouse will have dozens of signed ornaments from loved ones to hang on your tree during the holidays.
Here’s how it works.
Ornament Guest Book for Wedding
To make it easy for guests to do, simply set up a table at your reception with these items.
• Sign: This Christmas ornament guest book sign by ThePaintedPelicanCo will instruct guests to sign an ornament and place it on your tree.
• Ornaments: For safety, avoid purchasing glass ornaments as they’re likely to get broken during the process. Instead, opt for these shatterproof ornaments in bulk that are easy to write on and look beautiful.
Mix-and-match with different styles, sizes, and colors, or go all-in with one style and color.
NOTE: If you don’t want the logistics of 100+ ornaments, you can keep it simple by having guests sign on multiple ornaments so there aren’t as many to keep in storage. :) Or go with these minimalist style ornaments to fit more on the tree.
• Markers: These paint pen/markers are the easiest for signing onto the ornaments. Use a fine tip like this to make it easy for guests to keep writing small, especially if you’re adding multiple signatures per ornament. These are quick dry, a huge plus:
Finally, set up a small Christmas tree.
Estimate how many ornaments you’ll use so your tree is large enough to hold them all.
• Faux Christmas Tree: Something tabletop may work if you have a small wedding, or get a larger-sized tree for medium to large sized guest lists.
Have fun!
