What Is a Wedding Guest Book Sign?

A wedding guest book sign calls attention to a couple's guest book. Typically placed on the same table, the sign will show guests where the guest book is, instruct them on how to fill it out or participate in it. Guest book signs may have details about the traditional guest book, a photo booth or Polaroid guest book, an audio guest book, digital guest book or another alternative guest book option.
