Going Against the Grain: A Guest Book Box

My fiance and I decided to forgo a traditional  guest book, and instead we ordered a guest book box from Etsy vendor Just Wright Boutique, which I previously wrote about. The seller was very accommodating and easy to work with, and we chose the floral design below, but in navy instead of pale blue, to coordinate with our wedding colors.

What I love most about the guest book box is that you can order inserts that allow guests to write a message to the bride and groom and draw a picture of themselves (see insert option in the lower right corner)!

I think this is a fun and creative alternative to a guest book and I hope my guests get as much of a kick out of it as my groom and I do! Hopefully people won't think it's too weird and be party poopers by refusing to draw themselves . . . What do you think? Would you be into this if you were a wedding guest? I'll let you know how things turn out after the wedding!

Vendor I Heart: Just Wright Boutique

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem.  Well, I am finally able to admit that I am completely addicted to Etsy.  As a frugal bride, the items found on Etsy are are great way to find one-of-a-kind, pretty, and cheap wedding necessities.  So when I accidentally stumbled across Just Wright Boutique while searching for guest books, I was instantly enamored.  Their slogan for their guest book boxes is, "It's not your mother's wedding, so why have a traditional guest book?"  I could not agree more.  As a modern bride, I strongly believe it's those small but unique details that really make a wedding special, which is why I fell in love with their guest book boxes.  For only $35 a pop, you can choose from a bevy of designs in gorgeous colors.  And if you still can't find something you love, you can order a custom guest book box for $55 as well!
