Telephone box guest book alternative

One of my couples (who are having an a-MAZ-ing wedding incidentally) had the rather good idea of using a red telephone as a guest book alternative. The idea being that they hire a box with a working phone (and plenty of change) and have a little sign inside telling guests to call a particular number. When they dial it will go to a pre-recorded message from the bride and groom asking them to leave a message.

What do you think?

I think it's a genius idea! It will be entertaining for guests (and pretty amusing when said guests have had a tipple or two); and will be an original keepsake for the couple.

I imagine they'll want to do a more traditional guest book as well just in case guests don't get round to the phone, or feel too shy but all in all I think it's a fabulous idea and one I shall be stealing!

I love alternatives to the norm so do let me know if you know any other good guest book ideas like this puzzle guest book.

Wedding guest book puzzle - yes, an actual puzzle.

Just a quick post from me today as I have been having a super busy week. Been booking up some exciting weddings for next year, planning next week's Paris trip and flat hunting. Phew.

I have however, got to make time for this little cutie. I came across this inventive wedding guest book and decided it was just too plain lovely not to share.

It's a wedding guest book puzzle. So guests write little messages on a puzzle piece. Quite frankly I think this is ingenious!



They're the work of Lara from Bella Puzzles. See here for more details including how to use a jigsaw as a wedding guest book.







Obviously the larger your wedding the bigger the puzzle and the heftier the price tag but if you're looking for something unique I think it almost beats the trusty vintage typewriter in terms of originality.

What do you think? Would you spend the money on a guest book like this?

Look what I found on Etsy...

I'm starting many new regular posts and one of them is going to be called Look what I found on Etsy. The title is pretty self explanatory, I'm going to feature not sellers but items for sale that I find on my web travels and think you might like.

And anyway, does anyone not love Etsy? I mean really. When you can find such stylish and cute finds like this...



It's, let's face it, sweet and simple and cheap as chips. So anyone in charge of getting the guestbook for their friend's/sister's/cousin's wedding - look no further peeps.

Buy this here for a mere $45.99 (about £30 I reckon)
