5. Not so typical Guest Book! 

Make your wedding guestbook more special by having guests sign their name on a pallet, blank or painted by you (which can be done in just one night)! Then use it as decoration in your home. You can always see who was there to share your special day with you. All you need is a blank pallet to put your own painting twist on!
