One of the most popular wedding themes in Hawaii is Tropical! Today we are going to talk about tropical guest book ideas for your island wedding.

But First, what is a guest book? A wedding Guest book is a way for guests to leave a little note, well wishes or words of wisdom for the happy couple. We love the idea of this timeless keepsake that you can look back on together for years and cherish the memories of your special day. Along side videos, photos this tangible memento from your day is another sweet touch to relive the memory of your wedding.

Traditionally guest books are simply a book signed by all your guests – however, like everything else they have evolved in many unique ways. Today you will find everything from polaroid picture books, large pictures or paintings signed by guests, shadow boxes filled with signed tiles to maps of where you got married or fell in love, the possibilities are endless. 

Playing on the natural beauty of the island, using local flowers and island themed colors just make sense for your wedding in Hawaii. These Tropical Guest Book ideas will preserve your wedding memories AND match your theme! 

Take a traditional guest book and add a twist. Tropical-themed print guest books will spice up the traditional book!

Signing a mini surfboard (or real surfboard) or ukulele makes for great decor to add to your home and display all your guest’s special wedding messages.

Wooden or bamboo guest books are a great addition to your tropical-themed wedding!

Have each guest write you a special note on a Hawaii or Tropical themed postcard! You will have so much fun going through these after the big day.

Have your guests sign a wooden cut-out that you can hang in your house!

A Shadow-style drop box in a tropical theme is a cute way to have each guest leave their name and a short message for you on your wedding day. This idea also doubles as a guest book and a cute memento to display in your home!

Polaroid guest books are some of our favorites! You get a picture of each guest along with a special message!

Choose a sentimental photo, maybe one of your favorite engagement photos (maybe from Hawaii!) or a painting, and have your guests sign the border.
