A guest book captures thoughts, wishes and small messages that remain meaningful long after the event. Combining this classic element with a photo box creates memories that are not only read, but also seen and felt.
Photos bring emotions into play, texts give them depth. It is precisely this combination that makes a guest book with a photo box a popular idea for weddings, birthdays and many other celebrations.
What makes a guestbook with photo box special
In contrast to a classic guest book, a combination of image and word is created here. Guests not only record their thoughts, but also the moment in which they write them.
This ensures:
- more personal entries
- Stronger emotional bond
- Varied content
- More guest participation
- Memories with history
A guest book like this will still be looked at years later.
The process of a guestbook with photo box
The implementation of a guest book with photo box is uncomplicated and deliberately designed so that the book is only completed after the event. During the celebration, the guests can concentrate on taking photos and writing their messages.
The typical procedure looks like this:
- Guests take photos at the photo box
- During the event, they write personal messages in the guestbook or on prepared pages
- After the event, the hosts receive all photos by e-mail in an online gallery
- The hosts then print out the photos themselves
- The printed pictures are assigned to the respective entries of the guests in the guestbook and glued in
The guest book is created in peace and quiet after the ceremony, with carefully selected photos and personal words.
