Do You Have a Guest Book at an Engagement Party?

Although you do not have to have a guest book at an engagement party, we recommend having one as it can be a great way to keep track of who attended your party so you can send them a thank you note afterward. Plus, it can serve as a physical memento from your special day which you can keep in your home and refer back to when in need of some smiles and words of encouragement from friends and family members.
