Thumbprint guest book trees are a huge trend right now. The concept: You start with just branches, and your guests put down their thumbprints as the leaves. Then, your guests sign their names by their prints. After the wedding, frame your new piece of artwork to display in your home.

But your options aren't limited to trees. We also love the creativity of the peacock and balloons.

Tip: Make sure you buy washable ink so that your guests aren't walking around with ink on their fingers all night. Place a package of baby wipes on the table—they'll take the ink right off.

River Rocks

We love this idea—guests write their messages on individual stones, and then you can arrange them in a basin. They'd make a beautiful and touching addition to a garden. Post-wedding, spray the rocks with clear acrylic gloss to keep the messages from fading or washing away!
