The Sunflowers’ Guest Book
September 11th, 2009 by     

Hi All,

I have gone through many ideas here and here, about how to go about having a guest book for the wedding.  Like Lotus Bud, I decided to go with the Blurb photo guest book.  In the end, we found this route much simpler than the other ideas I was batting around.  We used the 12 x 12 format with image-wrap cover because I love the simple modern look.  This book will be with us for years to come!  Here is a pic of the front and back:
