10 Best Wedding Guest Books UK 2023 | Ginger Ray, Kate Aspen and More

In the number one spot sits this traditional wedding guest book from UK-based brand Manta Makes. Carefully designed and hand-made in the New Forest, this guest book has a walnut wood cover that can be personalised with the couple's name and wedding date. 

Inside are large, smooth pages with plenty of space for even the most flamboyant handwriting, and room for drawings and polaroids to be taped in place. Decorated in the best of taste, we think the tactile cover puts a rustic twist on an exquisite traditional guest book!

With this charming wooden guest book frame, guests can take a breather from the dance floor to peg a little note to the textured twine, detailing their memories of your magical day. We love the fact that you can attach all kinds of mementoes with the mini wooden pegs, including polaroid photos, sprigs of herbs or fresh flowers. 

The smart white frame provides plenty of room for every guest to leave a tag. Best for a smaller guest list, this frame comes with 70 tags, each one made from high-quality brown craft card.

Yes the price tag is a little steep, especially given how costly weddings can be these days, but for travel addicts (or perhaps a couple who met while seeing the world) it has to be a contender for top pick! Measuring  39.5cm high, this globe will definitely catch your guests' eyes and get even the most distant relatives chatting.

There is practically unlimited space to write messages, and the rose gold stand gives it a very current look. With the sweet and hopeful message 'The Adventure Begins' emblazoned on one side, it is a splendid choice for any globetrotters tying the knot.

If you like the idea of a beautiful alternative to the classic guest book, then this delightful picture frame from wedding decor expert Kate Aspen may be your ideal choice! Instantly usable as a decorative wedding memory to display in your home, guests write notes on little hearts and slot them into the frame.

One small drawback is that the frame may not be as resistant to moisture and wear-and-tear as some others. But, it does have space for a photo of the happy couple, and comes with 200 hearts, which is more room for messages than most alternative guest books provide. 

Wooden it be nice for your friends to hang heart-shaped love notes from the branches of a wedding guest book tree? Well, now they can! This fairy-tale worthy tree is a hugely popular product on Amazon, with hundreds of enthusiastic customer reviews.

There are only 70 blank hearts, so it isn't suitable for larger wedding parties if you want every single guest to be able to leave a note. According to the Ginger Ray website, each heart measures 4cm x 4 cm, so guests will have to keep notes brief.

Want a more eccentric way for guests to share their memories of your wedding? How about this lovely hand-cut puzzle made from polished plywood right here in the UK? Whether or not you and your partner are puzzlers at home, we think it makes for a charming alternative guest book.

Though the pieces are a little small for guests to write anything meaningful, and may prove fiddly for grandparents and other older guests, we like the idea that this jigsaw could be glued in place to make a wedding keepsake you'll always treasure. It can also be personalised with your names and wedding date.

This cheap and cheerful wedding guest book is the most affordable on our list. It is made by Ginger Ray, a party products brand whose Stag- and Hen- do decorations are rivalled only by their wedding tableware and funky balloons. 

This simple book has stands up to make an attractive focal point on your big day. And with 80 spacious, blank pages, multiple guests can sign their names and leave messages of love before it fills up. It's not quite as eye-catching or unique as some others, but for a small budget, it's just right!

For any couple planning a chic, understate wedding, we think this simple guest book may be one of the loveliest options available. John Lewis are known for the quality of their homeware, and this book is no exception! 

There are 200 pages in total, each one made from high gsm recycled paper that makes them a dream to write on. Sadly, the pages don't lend themselves quite as well to having photos or polaroids pasted in, but it's not impossible. Not a pick for couples who want to break from tradition, but ideal for a classic, elegant wedding.

This joyful Jenga building block game is a whimsical wedding guest book idea from Ginger Ray. Each guest takes a small wooden block, adds their message and places it carefully onto the growing tower. We think this wedding guest book is well-suited to fun-loving couples who want silliness to be a large part of their special day.

A potential pitfall of this kooky wedding guest book, is that there isn't room for more wordy or passionate friends to really let their feelings out. Stray pieces could also go missing, and this lighthearted game won't be the easiest to store or display.

Perhaps you are planning a wedding with a striking, high-end aesthetic? This stunning marble-effect guest book is simple and beautiful with plenty of space for your friends and loved ones to compose a heartfelt written note. 

The fine, heavy pages are soft to the touch and easy to write on and there are 200 pages with wide-spaced lines. Although it's not officially a wedding guest book, it won't look out of place at your reception, and could even be used for other occasions such as baby showers.
