Wedding guest books are practically a necessity as far as wedding details go, but that doesn’t mean that you have to stick to the same old guestbook of the past. All of these guest books are unique, beautiful, and best of all, less than $50!
1. Modern Minimalist Wedding Guest Book
To start our list of guest books, this modern and minimalist book is an affordable and beautiful option that would fit almost any wedding day vibe! Available in several gorgeous hues, these books are engraved with the couple’s name, wedding date and location in either white, black, or gold, with the small books coming in just under $50.
2. Personalized Wedding Monogram Guest Book
For a more rustic but equally gorgeous personalized guest book, these engraved wooden guest books are a unique and affordable choice! Like the books above, they are engraved with the couples name and wedding date, but these wooden beauties are also adorned with a fully cut out monogram initial on the front cover to show the colored first page of your choice, available in over a half dozen colors.
