You might be thinking that you’ve never seen an all metal wedding guestbook before. That is exactly what makes this idea very unique. If you want everything about your wedding to be very memorable including your guestbook, then read on!

With this alternative wedding guestbook all you need is to select what metal object you want signed and then decide if your guests will do the engraving themselves or if they will sign with an ultra fine tipped pen and then have a professional engraver go over their signatures. The object you have engraved can be a platter or vase or any other item you like that is large enough to accommodate the signatures of all your guests. When choosing you will want to consider how easy it will be to sign with an engraving pen if the object is not flat.

When deciding if your guests will engrave the item themselves of if your going to have them sign wit a pen and have a professional go over it you will want to take into account how easy the surface is to engrave. If it is relatively flat your guests may do well themselves. If the object you chose is oddly shaped or difficult to use the engraving pen on consult a professional for their opinion. Whichever option you choose you should have a person dedicated to handling guests and showing them how to sign as they will most likely be unaware what to do themselves. If you’re going to have your guests engrave it themselves I would suggest you have a piece of metal the same as or very close to the object you want to become your guestbook. This second piece of metal will be used as a practice piece so your guests can try their hand at engraving before they attempt to sign your precious guestbook. Any first try mistakes won’t be forever blemishing your memorabilia.

Whatever options you choose this is sure to be a very memorable wedding guestbook. A wedding guestbook that you will keep out in the open and see often to remind you of your special day. It will also surely be memorable for all our wedding guests as well.
