Today, we’re going to be looking at how to ask guests to sign the guest book and the best ways to do so. A guest book is a perfect way to remember your wedding fondly in years to come.

It’ll be something you’ll treasure forever. But how do you encourage guests to sign? What do you write on the wedding guest book introduction page? Let’s take a closer look.

What Is A Wedding Guest Book?

If you’re not familiar with what a wedding guest book is, a wedding guest book is a way to express your love and happiness for the happy couple on their wedding day. You can even write down some words of advice. Traditionally, the guest book is on a table at the reception, for guests to sign as they wish.

Guest Book Sign Wording

The easiest way to signpost your guest book is a wedding guest book sign. It’s a great way to encourage guests to write a message. Here are some ideas for sign wording that you may like to consider:

  1. Share Your Words of Wisdom. Guests may like to leave advice on married life, so it’s a great way to attract attention and gives guests an idea of what to write
  2. Please Wish Us Well! Rather than using “sign our guestbook”, asking for good wishes is a good alternative. It’s simple and straight to the point
  3. “Love is…” Again, this enables guests to have an idea of what to write and is a super cute idea to find out every guest’s definition of love
  4. Share a Memory of Us. This is the perfect way to fill your guest book with happy memories of every guest at your wedding. They’ll be ones to make you laugh, and ones to make you cry, for sure!

Wedding Guest Book Introduction Page Wording

The first page your guests will see is the introduction page. You want it to be simple, but sweet. And convey the message of what you’re looking to get out of the guest book. Some couples opt for a cute poem, while others opt for wording straight to the point. Let’s take a look at our top picks.

Simple but Sweet

Here are a few ideas that get straight to the point:

  • Please leave us a message so we can read this back on our first wedding anniversary, and the years to come.

Ways To Encourage Guests To Sign Guest Book

You may be wondering how to encourage guests to sign your guest book. You definitely want to encourage as many guests as possible to sign the book, as it really is one of my favorite mementos from the wedding. It’s particularly good to read on anniversaries and tough times.

Here are some top tips on how to encourage guests to sign your guest book.

  1. Place at the Entrance. If you put the book at the entrance to your reception, it’ll be the first thing your guests see when they enter the wedding. Once guests have taken their seats, it may be more difficult to get them to sign – so it’s a great place for it to be.
  2. Use a Sign. Signs using some of the wording from above is the perfect way to highlight that you’d really like guests to sign and where to sign.
  3. Have Someone Stood Nearby. Have someone from your bridal party stand at the table calling people over to sign the book.
  4. Make it Stunning. The prettier it looks, the more attention it’ll attract – so make sure it looks beautiful!
  5. Use a Unique Guest Book. If you use something besides a traditional book, that’ll attract attention too. You can find some amazing wedding guest book ideas here.
