A guest book alternative for the faith based wedding.

I was recently out with a client looking at venues when I came across this idea.  The Bride and Groom-to-be simply set up a Bible for the guests to underline their favourite verse and then sign their name next to it for the couple to read at a later date.  The reason I like this idea so much is that this Bible could then go on to have further verses underlined or notes added to it by the couple, throughout their married life.  It could even becoming a family heirloom, or if you prefer a ‘Legacy Bible’,  that can then be handed down through the generations to come.

While this idea may not be everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ I think it offers a thoughtful alternative to the traditional wedding guest book.  I know I often struggle to think of something meaningful to write in the wedding guest book, so often I just resort to the good old “Congratulations and best wishes for the years ahead” comment – not particularly awe-inspiring.  Maybe that is why some couples decide not to have one at all.

So if you have a wedding coming up soon, even a milestone birthday or anniversary, and you are looking for a novel way to record the well-wishes from your guests this may just work for you.
