FAQ

There are 52 unique prompt pages, with 3 additional communal signing pages in our guest books.

There are 3 additional ‘shared signing pages’ at the back of each book. These have been designed for overflow (for large weddings, in case all your prompted pages are filled) or in case guests would prefer to leave a basic signature. 

Each book is ~10×10″.

Yes! Each page features a different series of prompts to encourage your guests to write unique messages on every page.

Guests can sign the book as an individual or as a group. There are also additional communal pages at the back of the book for overflow or in case guests would prefer to leave a basic signature. This makes the book best suited for weddings with a guest count of 50-200 people.

These books were designed for weddings with a guest count of 50-200 guests; however, they can absolutely be used at ‘microweddings’ or smaller celebrations.

Don’t be afraid of empty pages throughout the book: if you wish, consider asking friends or family members to sign the book after your microwedding (note that not every page is about the wedding itself, some pages reference relationships and memories with you instead)! Some couples will also choose to have a larger celebration at a future date, and we encourage you to use your guestbook at both events! 

The additional ‘shared signing pages’ at the back of the book leaves room for guests to sign openly without a prompt. 

There are 8 different ‘Signing Styles’ throughout our guest books:

•   Fill-in-the-Blank
•   Voting
•   Short Paragraph
•   Drawing
•   True / False
•   Mad Libs
•   Multiple Choice
•   Communal

Absolutely! If there are any page you’d like specific people to sign, consider tagging a removable note on that page saying ‘reserved for *name*’. Alternatively, you can ask certain guests to sign in advance of your wedding (for example, how sweet would it be if Grandma signed page 47: ‘Here’s a story you might not know about our own wedding day’)!

Don’t feel like every page needs to be filled; it’s okay if some pages are missed throughout the book. If you wish, consider asking friends or family members to sign the book after the wedding (note that not every page is about the wedding itself, some pages reference relationships and memories with you instead). Or, if you’re having a post-wedding brunch ask any guest who missed the book to sign at that event.

‘Cause we’re Canadian, eh! Each guest book was designed, printed and packaged in the nation’s capital. We love supporting the Canadian economy and proudly champion small businesses through every step of our design and manufacturing. 

The Mr. and Mrs. Book comes in 5 colours:
The Dawson (white); The Stirling (light grey); The Mildred (navy blue); The Westley (forest green); and the Curie (slate grey)

The Mr. and Mr. Book and The. Mrs. and Mrs. Book are currently only available in white (The Halpern).

The Newlywed Book is available in white (The Halpern) or light grey (The Stirling).

Fine tip Sharpies or other felt tip pens with a precise tip are ideal. Standard ballpoint pens will also do the job! 

The coated paper in your guest book was selected to protect against marker bleed, so go ahead and use those indelible markers (e.g. fine-point Sharpies) and felt-tip pens for signing.

Place your guest book in an ideal location for signing : on a table with plenty of light, and in an area where foot traffic flows naturally.  

Ask your emcee to announce that you have one of our prompted guest books and briefly explain how it works: ‘pick a page, follow the prompts, fill the entire page’.

These are lay-flat guest books, meaning the pages will open flat to facilitate reading and writing. 

Yes! Our books are hardcover and wrapped with a soft linen fabric.

We’re hopeful that your guestbook will find a home on your coffee table right next to your wedding photos! As for storage, common sense is key: avoid storing your guest book under conditions of direct sunlight, extreme heat, excessive humidity, or contact with moisture. 

Carefully spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary and allow to air dry. As with any book, you should avoid getting the pages wet.
