Read moreYour wedding day will pass faster than you're ready for. The wedding guest book is what holds everyone who was there, every name written by the people who came to celebrate, gathered in something you can open for the rest of your life.
A Vorfreude Stationery best-seller since 2017, every guest book in this collection features a linen cover and acid-free pages, personalised with your names in a range of font and colour options. Whether you're looking for a traditional signing book, a polaroid wedding guest book where guests can slip their Instax alongside wedding wishes and advice cards, each style is made to hold something more than a signature.
A guest book sits naturally alongside a set of wedding vow books with both becoming keepsakes from the day. For brides collecting their wedding journey memories, our Letters to the Bride books and wedding day cards are made with the same intention.
Years from now, you'll open this and find everyone who came to celebrate still there on the page, every name written in their own hand. That is worth choosing carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Wedding Guest Book?
A wedding guest book is a traditional item at weddings where guests can write messages, well-wishes, or advice for the couple. It serves as a keepsake for the newlyweds, allowing them to remember the people who attended their special day and the heartfelt notes shared by loved ones. Guest books can be simple notebooks, decorative albums, or even creative alternatives like photo books, framed prints, or interactive guestbook stations. They provide a lasting memory of the celebration and the people who were part of it.
Do You Need A Guest Book At A Wedding?
Yes, a guest book is a great way to capture memories from your wedding. It allows guests to leave personal messages, advice, or well-wishes for the couple, which can become a cherished keepsake. However, it’s not a must-have, and some couples opt for alternatives like photo booth guestbooks or video messages. Ultimately, whether or not to have one depends on your preferences and what fits your wedding style.
What To Write In A Wedding Guest Book?
When writing in a wedding guest book, guests usually leave heartfelt messages of love, congratulations, and advice for the couple. You can offer personal congratulations, like “Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!” or share advice with something like “Remember to always communicate and laugh together.” If you have a shared memory with the couple, writing something like “I’ll never forget the time we…” can be a nice touch. You could also include a meaningful quote, such as “Love is the greatest adventure,” or add some humor with “Best wishes, and remember, happy wife, happy life!” Ultimately, what you write should reflect your relationship with the couple, whether it’s sincere, funny, or sentimental.
Can We Personalise Our Wedding Guest Book?
Yes! You can absolutely personalise your wedding guest book to reflect your unique style and story. Customisation options often include adding your names, wedding date, and venue, as well as choosing specific fonts, text colours, and even illustration icons or designs that match your wedding theme. Personalising your guest book makes it even more meaningful and memorable for you and your guests.
How Do I Choose The Right Wedding Guest Book?
When choosing the right wedding guest book, consider the overall theme and style of your wedding. If you are having a traditional wedding, a classic leather-bound or hardcover book might be perfect. For a more modern or rustic wedding, you could opt for something like a wooden or photo album-style guest book. Also, think about the functionality. Do you want a simple book for guests to sign, or something interactive, like a photo booth guestbook or a fingerprint tree? Lastly, consider the space available at your venue and how the guest book will be displayed for easy access. Ultimately, select a guest book that complements your wedding aesthetic and is meaningful to you both.
How Many Pages Should a Wedding Guest Book Have?
The number of pages in a wedding guest book typically depends on the size of your guest list. As a general guideline, you should plan for about one page per 25 to 30 guests. For a smaller wedding with around 50 guests, a guest book with 2-3 pages might suffice, while larger weddings may require a book with more pages. It’s always a good idea to choose a guest book with extra pages to ensure there’s enough space for everyone to leave a message.
What Is a ‘Seconds’ Guest Book?
A ‘Seconds’ guest book is a fully functional product offered at a discounted price due to minor cosmetic imperfections, such as slight printing misalignments, small surface marks, or packaging flaws. While these guest books are structurally sound and entirely usable, they don't meet the brand’s usual perfection standard for full-price sale. It's a great option if you're looking for a budget-friendly choice without sacrificing quality.
