Are you using a Guest book? Photo Mat? Something else?

Please tell!

We are using a book.

We are using a photomat, my older sister got us one as our engagement gift. She hasn't sent it yet (yes, we have been engaged for over a year now, anytime sis! :) ) and I'm excited to see it.

We used a small pink scrap book that had blank white pages in it. The guests signed a page and someone took their picture... then later I added the pictures in to their page and decorated it..



The book itself was pretty expensive, but it was really nice!

I think I will probably use a book.

We used a book and a siggy platter. I think we've looked at the book once since the wedding, but we have the platter out in our living room, so see it everyday :)

I want to do something that we're not going to just tuck away somewhere. So either the photomat or cards for people to write a little something on.

Ours is displaying on our end table in the living room so when people come over they can look at it. It is a lot nicer than just having plain signatures, I think.

We are planning to also do the photo guest book, similar to what Jaime did. :)

Guestbook. Again, my wedding was before the days of MLW! I'll round up a picture at some point...

we are doing a guest book but are going to request that the guest write a wish or a little something instead of just their name!!

we did little slips of paper that had the guests names printed on them and then they put any well wishes and signed them. I don't like guest books cause I can never read other peoples signatures. :D

We did a photo guestbook. We had our guest fill out little cards with wishes for us, predictions for our 1st children, or favorite memories of the day. BUT, hardly anyone would let us take their picture, so it didn't work out so well. We have a lot of cards, so I am just going to put them randomly in our scrapbook. They are really nice to read.

I am doing the photomat at the church (there are people going to the ceremony that will not be at the reception) and then at the reception, I am hoping to get a book made with our e-pics from one of the online places and let people leave messages around the pictures. That way we have a book of our e-pics and the guest can see the e-pics also.

We're doing a guest book. I wanted to do a photomat, but our photographer wanted to charge so much for it so we'll just do without

We are having a photo mat. We also have a guestbook that matches the fg basket and rb pillows. Not sure if we will use it or not.

We did a photomat. We finally put it up over the fireplace about a month ago. :)

Christa, you can always buy your own. We got ours from Kirklands for $20 and used it with one of the e-photos that we bought. And I know they are all over ebay, too. Our photog also sold them, but they were pretty expensive even when you considered it included the photo.

We got our photomat with frame at Family Dollar for $7. You can get them pretty cheap at Michaels as well with one of the 1/2 coupons.

I'm almost 100% positive I will be using a guestbook. But I really like the idea of the photo mat, so we'll see :)

We're having a photobook made at Future Shop. We're going to go out with our photographer when it gets nice out again and get some fun outdoorsy shots. I'm really excited about it.

I'm really kind of wanting to do the whole polaroid album, take the pictures as they come in and then have them write something next to the picture...but I really do not like the look of polaroids, with the whole white border. Has anyone done this, but used something else that worked efficiently? I thought about using a digital camera or something, but I'd rather have something for them to write next to, so we have no wondering about which picture goes with which writing.

I think we are using a guestbook of pictures of us as a couple (and a couple "growing up" pics) made on mypublisher.

What is a photomat?

We used photomats ! I have one suggestion make sure you keep it in the frame and take the glass out because I had people write to close to the edges and now in the frame can't see all the words.

I love that family tree idea! We ended up going with a photomat. Which I have still never hung up. :shrug2:
