I’m not a fan of the traditional guest book – it often gets filed away after a wedding, barely to be glanced through again.
For H&B’s Parisian Garden wedding in April, we looked to France for some inspiration and decided that since they had an intimate wedding of 70 guests, that two wine bottles of their favorite French Red wine would be a wonderful alternative.

The best part, is that my couple gets to open the wine on their one year anniversary – and save the bottle as a special keepsake of their Paris inspired wedding day!
This works best for smaller weddings, and you must be sure to use a paint based pen designed for glass. The pen does take a few minutes to try, so ensure you have someone to monitor your guestbook table to ensure no smudges occur.
What are you going to do to have a distinctive guestbook?
