Guest Books
Each guestbook created by us is unique and special. Our standard guestbook is 5 inches tall by 10 inches wide. We have thoughtfully designed lined pages to beautifully capture the notes and signatures of each guest. Our guestbooks contain a custom cover page which is designed for you upon ordering, but a generic cover page is also an option. Our guestbooks are built from the ground up using the highest quality book board, leather, and cotton rag paper. Because we build each book when it is ordered, we have the ability to modify them as needed. We can customize your guestbook however it works best for you. Please look at the options below to design the guestbook that is perfect for you.
Cover Options
This is the soft covered option with a wrap closure. The book will have a slightly flimsier feel than the hard cover. It feels a little more rustic and relaxed. The wrap closure has an even more vintage feel. It holds the book closed securely while not being as rigid.
This is the soft covered option with a snap closure. The book will have a slightly flimsier feel than the hard cover. It feels a little more rustic and relaxed. The snap closure has a more polished feel than the wrap. It holds the book closed very securely while maintaining the soft feel of the cover.
There are several options to embellish the snap cover if you prefer a different look. It can enhance the look of your guestbook. The options are domed steel, domed brass, walnut or white antler haunch.
This is the hard covered option of our guestbook. The hard cover guestbook lends to a more polished and clean look than the soft covers. It can be made in almost any leather. The hard covered journals can be laser engraved with a lighter leather option to customize your book even more.
This is an example of a laser engraved guestbook cover. This engraving can be completed on most of the lighter colored leather options. It is completely customizable and we work closely with you to make it exactly what you want.
Paper Options
This is Cotton Rag paper. Cotton Rag paper is the thickness of watercolor paper, specifically 250 gsm. Due to its thickness, it can be written on with any type of pen or marker without bleeding through. This paper lends two options to finish of the edges of each page. Deckled edges are achieved when Jordan tears the edges of each page by hand, one page at a time. No deckling rulers or devices are used. This guarantees a unique pattern each and every time. The other option is a straight cut edge. The book is bound and then placed in our large guillotine cutter and cut neatly and cleanly. There is a major difference in the look and feel of these two options. Both create beautiful guestbooks.
Our guestbooks can be created using wood-pulp paper as well. The paper we use is the same as our journals. It’s a 70 lb recycled paper that has beautiful natural coloring.
