This DIY Wooden Wedding Guestbook is the perfect way to display one of the best days of your life. An amazing keepsake to cherish for years to come of memories on your wedding day. You guys, I am so excited with how this turned out. At first I wasn’t sure, but I kept going and BAM! Look how awesome. With having less than 6 weeks to plan my wedding, I knew I wanted to make as much as I can without going insane. Mainly because I’m just a crafty kinda gal, but also to keep my expenses low and have something personalized just for me. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Well I did find a few, but only for me to buy, not for me to make and certainly no tutorials. So I made it my mission and make my own wedding guest board to hang on a wall. The most challenging was figuring out how to attached the photo frame without it being stuck there forever. I wanted to be able to change out the picture if I wanted to (especially since I wouldn’t have a wedding picture till after the wedding). plywood Velcro** Read update below A) If you have a Cricut or Silhouette, you can use that design and print your words. (This is what I did) 9. Add hook to the back to hang on the wall. We propped my board up on a table at my wedding and left a paint pen for them to sign. My original plan was to just let people sign their names, but when my godmother announced it, she told people to leave a nice comment as well. She made me love the whole idea even more! I plan on changing the picture to one from our wedding but for now, this one will do. It shows our fun nature and spunk. Need more DIYs? Go Here Feel like spicing up date night?

I love having it hang on a wall that way we can walk by it each day and see this beautiful memory than have it as a book on the shelf.
Don’t get me wrong, I love books. I make Shutterfly books every year for us, but I thought it was just a fun different idea. ( Now I think I have to make a wedding album book as well.– I’m coming for you Shutterfly!)

Very good information. Lucky me I recently found your site by accident (stumbleupon).
I have saved as a favorite for later! -
I have been asked to make a Wedding Guest Book just like this, thanks for all the info but I was wondering if you sealed the vinyl lettering with modpodge before having guest sign the board or after? I know that vinyl lettering will eventually lift off if it isn’t sealed.
