Before you get carried away with the countless wedding planning duties,
always take some time to spare a thought for those who will make your big day
even more special: your loved ones! Celebrate and immortalise this big moment
by creating as many beautiful memories as possible, even amidst the
safe-distancing restrictions!
Subsequently, to craft and compile these memories, many would set up the
most gorgeous guest book station where guests can jot their well wishes for the
couple. If you’re thinking of doing the same, you’ll want to maximise the fun
out of a standard wedding guest book! After all, it is your big day.
So throw away that typical guest book and try
your hand at something much more fun and functional. Not sure how to go about
it? Check out these creative yet authentic guest book ideas to suit any wedding reception in Singapore.
1. Capture their Wishes in a (Polaroid) Selfie

“Take a photo, it’ll last longer.” Switch up the fun by switching from notes to photos! Instead
of the usual long handwritten notes, encourage your guests to congratulate you
with a polaroid.
Encourage your guests to be as goofy or creative as they want to be in
the polaroid pictures by providing them with quirky props and
photobooth background to
liven up the atmosphere. These props will truly let their personality shine
through in the pictures. Once the polaroid is developed, let your guests sign
off with a simple congratulatory message at the back of the polaroid to send
their well wishes to the newlywedded couple.
2. Fill their wishes in an Existing Book

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly option while still sticking to the traditional guest book, this idea is for
you! Double up a coffee table book you
love as your guest book.
Not only will those empty pages be utilised, but
you’re sure to look back on this book as a memento with fondness and not just
store them away in a box. To guide your guests on where to sign, tag the empty
pages with little post-its or stickers.
3. Ask for Words of Wisdom

It can be difficult to craft a unique
congratulatory note in guest books. So make it more inspiring for your
guests: print cards and label them
as ‘advice pieces’.
Let your loved ones pen down some advice about
anything. Consider coming up with categories for these advice cards. For instance, having different cards could ask for tips
regarding your early years of marriage or maybe even some parenthood tips. This
would make compiling all the written notes easier as well as receiving genuine
words of wisdom at the same time! Talk about killing two birds with one stone!
4. Compile their Spoken Wishes

Regardless of how thrilled they are for you, some guests might just find
it tough to write a heartfelt message and are better at verbalising their
wishes instead. For that, as you source out the best wedding videographers in Singapore, share with them your idea of turning a guest book station into a congratulatory video station. Let them
know your plans to compile your guests’ wishes into a beautiful video, which
can then be readily accessed from any mobile device for viewing!

And when you’re crafting a creative wedding guest book, whether it’s
with polaroids or printed cards, ensure that there’s ample writing space or
blank polaroids for your guests to personalise their wishes.
