From a question booth to a how-do-you-know-the-couple board to anniversary notes, there are plenty of unique guest book ideas that your guests are guaranteed to ooh and aah over.

The more personalized and creative your guest book is, the more fun your wedding guests will have with it. Not only will this be entertaining for your guests, but a unique book will also be a much more valuable keepsake for you and your new husband to treasure.
