Guestbooks have come a long way from a simple sign-in ledger. Today, couples and event hosts are dreaming up interactive, memorable ways to capture well-wishes that feel personal—and fun.
If you’re planning your celebration at Riverside Pavilion, here are five creative guestbook ideas your guests will be excited to take part in:
1. Video Guestbook Station
Set up a cozy nook with a tablet or camera on a tripod. Invite guests to record short video messages, share their favorite memories, or offer heartfelt advice.
You’ll end up with a priceless collection of clips to watch for years to come—and maybe a few hilarious outtakes too.
2. Polaroid Photo Wall
Provide an instant camera and a stack of film. Guests can snap a photo, write a note on the bottom, and pin it to a display board or string it up with twinkle lights.
It doubles as unique décor during your reception and becomes a keepsake you’ll treasure long after the last dance.
3. Voice Message Phone
Rent a vintage phone guestbook where friends and family can pick up the receiver and record a message. From sweet sentiments to spontaneous laughter, hearing their actual voices makes this one especially nostalgic.
4. Puzzle Guestbook
Have a blank wooden puzzle custom-made with your names and date. Each guest signs a piece. Later, you can assemble it as artwork for your home—symbolic of all the people who helped complete your big day.
5. Date Night Idea Jar
Instead of traditional messages, ask guests to write their best date night ideas or bucket list suggestions on small cards and drop them in a jar. You’ll have a year’s worth of inspiration to keep the romance going long after your celebration ends.
Make It Personal
Whatever you choose, the best guestbooks are the ones that reflect your personality. At Riverside Pavilion, we love seeing creative touches that make your event feel like you.
