The Guest Book - A Poll

I know that we will always have our pictures, and they are going to be AWESOME, but I also know that we probably won't have EVERY SINGLE GUEST included in a picture... some people will just not make it in.  So the next best way to remember who was at your wedding is the guest book.  I'm really into a non-traditional guest book, and what I mean is that I don't just want a list of names... I want more than that.  I want advice from the experienced, notes from our loved ones, and something that we can and want to display.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO HELP ME DECIDE!!!!  
Take a look at the ideas and notes below and cast your vote on the poll to the left.  I can't wait to see the results!!!

Options #1 - The Photo Book

This is about as traditional as I get.  For this option, I would use our engagement pics and put them in a photo book on Snapfish.com and leave white space around for people's notes and signatures.  It would kinda look like one of these.

Option #2 - The Wedding Wishes Cards


I found this on Get Married and it's pretty cool because the fact that the cards ask for "wedding wishes" would, in theory mean that you would get more than a signature.  I don't know if I love the little book that they sell to put all of them in, and I would probably end up making my own cards, but at least it's something unique.  

Option #3 - The Quilt

Yes, I know that this is a lot of work and I know that with an invite list the size of ours (which is currently around 450 people) it could get a little ridiculous, but HOW FREAKIN COOL IS THIS?  My grandmother quilts and that is by far the thing that reminds me of her the most.  I don't know if she would be up for the task of a quilt like this, but J's mom also quilts and he says that she would absolutely love to be able to put something like this together for us!  I actually got this idea from a girl I went to high school with.  She just recently had a baby and this is the quilt that she made (along with friends and family) and I just loved it!

OK, I can't wait to see how the votes come in!!!
