Wedding guest books are a beautiful, meaningful tradition that never goes out of style. More than just a sign-in request, a customized wedding guest book invites your guests to share personal, heartfelt messages of love and best wishes for your big day. It’s also a way to acknowledge how much you value your guests—both as witnesses to your union and for sharing in the celebration of it.

Mixbook’s customizable photo guest books are a perfect showcase for engagement photos. Part traditional guest book, part photo album, the creative options for your perfect wedding guest book are endless. Simply select an expertly designed template that suits your aesthetic style and complements your wedding theme. Then, customize every design element using the easy and intuitive tools in Mixbook Studio™.

In the weeks, years, and even decades after your wedding day, you’ll treasure your personalized wedding guest book filled with favorite photos and handwritten messages from the people who were there when you said “I do.”

The highest quality wedding photo guest books

A one-of-a-kind memento as special as a wedding guest book deserves only the highest quality printing, papers, and binding. All Mixbook photo books are available in varied book sizes and formats, paper types, and binding types. Our Hardcover, high-end Lay Flat, or top-tier Album book types are all excellent choices.

We strongly recommend Lay Flat or Album book types for all wedding books. These book types feature ultra-thick pages that truly lie flat, making it easier for guests to add their handwritten messages. Curate a stunning display at your wedding reception with a wedding sign, photo guest book, and decorative accents that match your wedding theme. With the Album type, you also receive a free Keepsake Box to store your beautiful book in style.

Consider a wedding guest book theme as just the starting point for your own incredible creation. Start with a theme you like and use the easy, intuitive tools in Mixbook Studio ™ to customize its design by simply dragging and dropping.

Design bundles vary by theme, but most feature text elements, backgrounds, photo layouts, accent stickers, and a photo cover page. Simply upload your own photos, whether from a special engagement shoot or favorite photos of the two of you falling in love, and start customizing the entire design.

Beyond switching the theme’s placeholder text and photos for your own, you can also customize the following using Mixbook Studio™ tools:

Layouts: Change the arrangements of photos, text, and other design elements on each page or spread
Backgrounds: Choose any color or pattern
Stickers: Accessorize your pages with accent stickers (but be sure to leave plenty of empty spaces for signature)
Text: Pick a different font, size, text color and more
Themes: Try out different themes at any time—no need to start from scratch.
Maps: You can even include a custom map. Invite guests to mark up the map to show where they traveled from to share your wedding day

How to make a personalized wedding guest book

Take some time to sketch out ideas for your wedding guest book before you start customizing the design. Select your must-use favorite photos, and pick your absolute favorite engagement photo to star on the cover page. Choose photos that represent your wedding style, whether that means including some silly, playful candids or sticking only to super-romantic portraits from a professional engagement shoot.

Think about the types of prompts you’ll offer to guests. Do you just want them to sign their names, or offer longer well wishes? Are you seeking words of wisdom or tips for a long, loving marriage? Do you want your wedding guest book to be casual and playful, or sincere and sentimental? While you can’t (and shouldn’t!) tell your guests what to write, it’s helpful to offer some prompts.

Do you want to include any text elements beyond a book title and essential page headers? Options include brief photo captions, romantic quotes, poems, an excerpt from your vows, or lines of spiritual verse. You might include an introductory page with a letter to guests, thanking them for their presence and inviting them to sign the book.
