Wedding Guest Book FAQs

Collection of hand bound books showing texture of binding canvas used in a variety of colors.

• Will my personalized wedding guest book lay open flat?

• Yes, our personalized wedding guest books are designed to lay open flat.
• The hand-sewn folios create a strong yet flexible foundation that allows your book to stay open for display or everyday use.
• Our photo guest books with removable pages also lay flat on the right side, and their loose-leaf design makes them simple to work on before assembling if necessary.

• How are your bridal sign in books made?

Each bridal guest book is handcrafted in our bindery using traditional techniques and archival materials.
• The Guest Books (8 x 10", landscape):
We sew together folded folios (sections of pages) to create a strong, flexible foundation. Reinforced spines add durability, and hardback covers wrapped in canvas or heavy paper bring timeless elegance. Each cover is pressed to perfection as it dries.
• Photo guest books with removable pages (8.5 x 11"):
These are also handcrafted in-house, but instead of sewing, we use a sturdy screwpost binding. This structure allows the pages to be removed, added, or rearranged—ideal for photo booth events and scrapbooking.

• Will pen ink leak through the pages?

• No, pen ink will not bleed through our pages.
• We use heavyweight, matte paper that works beautifully with ink, pencil, crayons — you name it.
• We’re especially big fans of good gel-cap pens.

• Can I add photos to the pages of my wedding guest book?

• Yes, you can add photos to the thick pages of our guest books.
• On our 8 x 10" landscape guest books, the pages are sturdy enough for photo mounting, though the covers may swell as more content is added.
• For lots of photos on each page, we recommend our Photo Guest Books for Weddings, which feature removable pages and inverted spines that compensate for the swell.

• Can I create my own personalized wedding guest book cover design?

• Yes, you can use your own design for your custom book cover.
• Send us your artwork, photo, monogram or layout idea, and we’ll adapt it to fit your book beautifully. Just be in touch with your ideas.
• We gladly provide free cover mock ups so you can see how your book will look before ordering.

• Do you custom print the pages of your books?

• We aren't able to custom print the pages of our handbound books. You get to choose BLANK or LINED for the pages.
• Additionally, we can custom print the inside covers with personalized messages, instructions, photos, or a bit of history.

My mother lamented having wanted to share her wisdom with my children but passed before she could. I don't want to miss this either so ordered journals and hard back slip cases for each of us so we can jot down notes as they come. Alex designed the covers and they are perfect!

Item was perfect! I cant wait to use it on our upcoming trip. Seller was open about shipping the entire time. I own a shop as well so I understand how some items can take weeks as a turnaround. I truly appreciated all communication they had with me.
