What is the purpose of a wedding guest book?
The purpose of a wedding guest book is, of course, to remember everyone who came to celebrate your big day!
More than that, though, it should be a chance for those guest to share their happy wishes for your future together.
While traditional log-style books are lovely keepsakes, I know many of you prefer something that shows off your unique personalities a bit more.
So, I’ve included a good mix of both traditional bound cardstock-style pages as well as “outside the box” ideas that I personally adore.
I’m breaking this into three categories. The first section (the largest) has gender-neutral ideas that will work for any couple.
Then, we’ll look at some ideas specifically for a gay wedding, followed by a lesbian wedding.
As you browse, you may be shocked by some of the prices. Yes, a few are quite expensive, but they’re well worth it!
Here’s a tip. If you just want a simple keepsake that you’ll tuck away in a drawer or chest, it’s fine to go with a cheap wedding guest books.
If you plan to proudly display it in your new home together, it’s worth it to spend a little extra for something beautiful and durable.

Either let your guests sign it as usual or set out ink pads in different colors and let them add their own prints.
If you go with option B, just make sure you set up a little hand-washing station so your guests aren’t walking around with inky fingers all night.

Simple & elegant is the name of the game with this handmade guest book for two grooms.

18.Vintage Paper Texture Lesbian Guestbook Notebook
For those who love the vintage styles of Jane Austen’s era, this book looks like it was lifted straight from Sense & Sensibility.
Since it comes from Zazzle, you can customize just about everything about it.
The only downside? It comes with just 80 pages (and that’s one of the few things you can’t change), so it’s really just ideal for smaller weddings.
19. Beautiful Mrs & Mrs Lesbian Wedding Guest Book
A traditional lesbian wedding guest book that’s anything but simple, this 8×8″ elegant option is small enough to tuck away in a treasure chest.
While you can’t change the size on this listing, you can change the type of paper that goes inside and the colors of your names on the outside.
Choose from 25 different standard colors or go with one of the metallic or mirror options.
20. Lesbian Wedding Fingerprint Tree Guest Book Alternative
This last one is a bit different from the fingerprint guest book for two grooms.
Rather than sending in your fingerprints, you’ll receive a print with the silhouettes and your names, along with blank strings.
Your guests finish it by adding their own prints as balloons, so you’ll want to leave out ink pads in all different colors.
I’m having a hard time choosing a favorite, but I really like the alternativs vs the standard books.
Not that there’s anything wrong with choosing a traditional guest book, I just really love to be different. 🙂
