A guest book is where the words of your guests stay for good. Instead of cards that scatter into drawers within a month, you get one hard-cover book with your names and the date on it and thirty-two pages inside. Ten years on, this is the thing people take off the shelf when they want to remember who wrote what that evening.
Which celebrations it is ordered for
Most often a wedding, and then the book sits on its own small table by the entrance with pens beside it. It is taken to milestone anniversaries, when you want the words of everyone who came and not only the toasts. It is ordered for graduations and for company parties, where it becomes a shared artefact of a whole class or team. If the celebration is for a child, look at the children's guest book, which is made for christenings and first birthdays.
What the book is made of
The cover is always hard, and you choose the material. A printed cover lets you put your photograph, names and date on it, and it is the most affordable option. Velour, fabric and leatherette look quieter and more expensive, sit well in the hand and survive an evening of being passed around better. Inside there are thirty-two pages, which is enough with room to spare even for a large wedding.
Size and page colour
The square 23×23 cm is the most compact and the most popular, the upright 20×30 cm gives more room for long messages, and the landscape 30×20 cm suits guests writing in pairs across one spread. Pages come in white, black and cream. White takes any pen and costs less, while black and cream look striking but need a white or gold gel pen, which is worth putting beside the book in advance.
How guests fill it in
Put the book on its own table near the entrance or beside the gifts, and leave two or three pens with it, because one always disappears. A small sign asking for a few words works far better than hoping guests will work it out. It helps when the first spread is filled in by the witnesses or the parents, because shy guests write much more willingly after them.
Frequently asked questions
Are thirty-two pages enough for a hundred guests
Yes, and there is usually room left over. Guests rarely write alone, so one message tends to take half a page and gets signed by a couple or a whole family.
Can photographs be glued into it
They can, the paper takes it well, and instant photographs look wonderful in the book. Use adhesive squares or double-sided tape, because liquid glue shows through on the other side of the sheet.
Which pen writes on black pages
A white or gold gel pen, and it is worth buying several at once. An ordinary ballpoint is completely invisible on black paper, and that is the most common reason a black book disappoints.
How far ahead should I order
Production takes ten to fourteen working days, plus delivery time. For a wedding that means ordering about a month ahead rather than a week, because a hard cover needs the full cycle of gluing and pressing.

FAQ
Чим книга побажань відрізняється від звичайного альбому?
Альбом ви наповнюєте самі й після події, а книгу побажань наповнюють гості просто під час свята. Сторінки навмисно порожні, щоб кожен написав своїми словами й своїм почерком — саме почерк потім і робить цю книгу неповторною.
Скільки побажань поміститься?
Сторінок тридцять дві, а скільки на них поміститься, залежить від самих гостей: хтось пише два рядки, хтось розписує півсторінки. На весілля до ста гостей цього зазвичай вистачає з запасом, а якщо хочеться більше місця, варто брати більший розмір.
За скільки часу замовляти книгу побажань на весілля?
Виготовлення триває від десяти до чотирнадцяти робочих днів, бо обкладинку роблять під ваші імена. Разом із доставкою це означає, що замовляти варто щонайменше за три тижні до дати, а в травні та вересні краще ще раніше.
Книгу побажань беруть тільки на весілля?
Ні, її так само часто замовляють на річницю, на ювілей і на випускний. Для дитячих свят у нас є окрема книга побажань на 1 рік та на хрещення, з обкладинкою під імʼя малюка.
