With many couples finding the traditional wedding guestbook collecting dust in a closet somewhere newlyweds to be all over the country are searching for an alternative. One such alternative wedding guestbook idea that is becoming very popular today is the signature photo frame. This wedding guestbook not only allows your guests to say they were at your wedding and write you their best wishes but it makes a great home decoration and piece of wedding memorabilia you can cherish every day.

To use a signature photo frame as an wedding guestbook at your wedding you will need a couple of supplies. The first is a photo frame. The size frame you need will depend on two things. First is how many guests are coming to your wedding ceremony and how verbose they like to write. Second is how many and what size photos you would like inside the frame. The more and larger pictures and the more guests you have the larger frame you will need. You can use photos of your childhoods and lives together or you can use photos from the wedding or a combination of both.

Once you have selected the number and size of your photos and figured out how much space you’ll need head down to your local framer. Let them know what photos they will need to cut the mat to fit and how much space is needed for signatures so they can determine how large of a frame you need. They will have a lot of options for the style of frame, this you can select now but also you might want to wait until you can see the actual photos in the mat to see which frame looks the best with them. As to mat color you can either go with a light mat and dark ink or a dark frame with a light paint pen. The pen you use must be acid free and as permanent as you can find.

During your ceremony you should designate someone to watch the signing of the mat and instruct guests on how to sign it and that they should. The signature photo frame guestbook is relatively new and may need to be explained to some of the guests. Remember the acid free pen and choose what you like. This will be a great piece of wedding memorabilia that you can hang on your wall and enjoy every day.
