How to Choose a Wedding Guest Book

There’s so much involved in planning a wedding that it’s easy to let a small detail like choosing a wedding guest book fall to the wayside. Don’t let that happen! Your wedding guest book is just as important as your dinner menu and DJ choice—after all, your guest book will become a treasured keepsake for you to look back on, while you’re not quite as likely to spend time reminiscing about your wedding DJ’s sparkling personality. The good news is that compared to all of those other choices you’ll be making, how to choose a wedding guest book is easy if you know what to look for.

Find a Personalized Wedding Guest Book

Sure, you could go to a greeting card or stationery store and purchase a readymade guest book, but you (and your guests) will appreciate a personalized wedding guest book so much more. At Luna Paper Co., we allow you to create a custom guest book with your names and event details on the cover. You can choose a design that speaks to you and select a color that coordinates with your wedding decor for a cohesive look. (Consider purchasing vow books to match too!)

Choose the Right Size and Layout

The first tip is easy to follow—essentially, it boils down to choosing what you like. Now, you have to do some thinking and calculating. 


The reason why a custom wedding guest book is essential is because you can choose the size and layout that works for you. This might not seem important, but trust us, it is. The last thing you want is for your guests to run out of room to leave you messages—but you also don’t want a sea of blank pages, making your guest book feel empty and unused.


When you order a guest book from Luna Paper Co., you can choose the size and page count. Assuming your guests will be using both sides of each page, a 12x12 guest book will accommodate about 6–8 guests per page, a 10x8 guest book has room for 4–6 guests per page, and a 9x6 guest book has room for 2–4 signers on each page. These are estimates that don’t account for your verbose Aunt Virginia or your man-of-few-words step-brother, but they’ll get you in the ballpark of what you need. When in doubt, round up, not down!

Look for Quality

Not all wedding guest books are created equal. At Luna Paper Co., we use the highest quality materials to craft keepsakes that will stand the test of time. This means soft-touch hardcovers printed with real foil. Each book is sewn-bound and produced with love and care in the USA. We’re not happy unless you’re happy, so we offer all of our customers dedicated customer service.
