The story goes that\u00a0hundreds of\u00a0years ago\u00a0when a couple got married all of their guests were required to sign a book or ledger as a\u00a0way of testifying to the reality of the marriage.\u00a0 Of course over time\u00a0with the introduction of\u00a0marriage licences,\u00a0and the\u00a0need for only\u00a0two witnesses, this became unnecessary\u00a0– yet the\u00a0tradition of the guests signing a book\u00a0remained, serving more as a memento\u00a0than anything else.<\/p>\n

As with many traditions there will often come a point where people begin to question why – and wedding guestbooks are no exception.\u00a0 Many couples will tell you that theirs ended up in a box somewhere, or if you are like me on a shelf gathering dust, only to be looked at once in a blue moon.\u00a0 So it only seems natural that people are saying goodbye to the book part of the\u00a0tradition and applying the\u00a0written memento part to items of more relevance.<\/p>\n

I think it is a beautiful thing to see couples creatively consider items that represent themselves as a couple and that can be enjoyed in the years to come.\u00a0 So without any further ado here are 5 fun\u00a0guestbook alternatives that we hope will inspire your choice.<\/p>\n
