Things to Remember
Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a wedding guest book tree! Of course, it is your special day so do what is right for you and yours.
Should I get a traditional guestbook or a wedding guest book trees?
It is up to you! You could also get both if you’d like. It also depends on if you’d like a guest book tree on canvas, 3D, or mantlepiece.
Many couples like the guest book trees because they are both a memento from your special day, and they can be a decor piece in the home you make with your partner.
Each of these options, including a traditional guest book, have their pros and cons. The most important thing is that you are happy with the outcome!
How much should I spend on my wedding guest book tree?
Your budget is up to you. Like anything else, you decide what is most important for your wedding, but overall a guest tree is an affordable item.
If you opt for a simple printed guest book tree, you can expect to pay about $30 for it without the frame. This is a reasonable price for something that will have memories attached to it!
Is Etsy the only place to buy my guest book tree?
Short answer: No. There are wedding guest book trees available at party supply stores and craft stores at comparable prices to Etsy.
However, one of the perks of shopping at Etsy is the customizable aspect. For things that require personalization, like a wedding guest book, Etsy is a good bet!
If you can streamline your wedding shopping by going online as much as possible, do it! Take it from experience; it is always better to return something from an online retailer.
Ship it and forget it!
How do I know how many tags to get for my wedding guest book tree?
This is also something that will be different for everyone. Depending on the type of wedding guest book tree you get, you may have to purchase tags along with it.
The canvas prints are more manageable if you are unsure how many people will be coming to your event. However, wedding RSVPs are typical and expected.
Another perk of ordering from a site like Etsy is the ability to customize how many tags you need based on your guest list.
Either way, it is always better to have more than not enough!
