Guest Book Memories


Okay, blog peeps.

Have I got a couple questions for you.

Every  time we have stayed at a bed and breakfast establishment, I have loved leafing through the guest book that's usually on a table by the bed.

"What a great idea to have  a guest book at home,"  I said one day.

That was the beginning of a love/hate relationship among guests and the guest book.

I've kept guest books for several years now and have a couple that are filled to the brim.



The current guest book is so pretty as it's covered with pink roses.

Some people love signing it. Some people hate signing it.

Some  people who've been to our house for dinner many times actually groan when the guest book comes out. 

Some relish writing their messages in rhyme.

Honestly, it's so much fun to look back and see what event was celebrated and who came.

Some past signers are now on the other side and I love remembering the happy times.

I've occasionally added menu items and a few  photos, too.

So here are my questions for you.

DO YOU KEEP A GUEST BOOK?  IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO?

Susan I have to honestly tell you I have never thought of having a guest book in my own home. Dang. What a great idea. I think I'm going to look for one. What a great way to go back and remember. GOOD MORNING.

Hi Susan, this is kind of funny to me as just this past weekend (thanksgiving here) I was thinking about having my guests write in my guest book and I didn't pull it out.I felt like they may feel like "a number" of sorts. I guess I'm with you..not sure how I feel about them. I think a bed and breakfast is the place for one though...happy entertaining!Lucy~

Susan said...

I love the idea and what a wonderful memory to cherish. How to I make reservations:-D XOXO

Nellie said...

I set out a book at Christmas time for our guests/family to sign. However, some people don't always follow through.:)

My sister is following your blog, Susan, and I thought of her when I saw the roses on your guest book. She has a real liking for roses!

Dee said...

I know someone who kept one in their guest bathroom and got all kinds of cute things written in them over the years. I think it is a fun idea.

diane.stetson said...

I don't have a guest book per se
but I know you keep one every day
I've signed it many times
Using silly silly rhymes
So I know you will say HOORAY.

Linda O'Connell said...

Don't have one, wouldn't want to impose on my guests, although it would be wonderful to reflect on many years later.

La Tea Dah said...

I don't keep a guest book now, but I have in the past. It is really fun to go through it and remember who was there and what we did. I should start a new one for the present --- but I too often forget to have it signed in the midst of my hostessing duties.

Glenda said...

Susan, I am Nellie's sister, and for some reason Blogger has not allowed me to change my ID! Perhaps it prefers to keep me mysterious! I do not blog, but I do follow a few folks who have interesting things to say on a variety of topics.

I have never felt offended by being asked to sign a guest book, as I can see the importance of having such a keepsake for future occasions. At Nellie's house, I usually don't even think about it, but perhaps I should make a greater effort! That way, if the silverware goes missing, she'll know who was there at the time! LOL

Karen Lange said...

I hadn't thought of having a guest book for our company - I think it's a great idea! If guests don't wish to sign, that's okay, or if they wish to simply just pen a signature. It's just nice to have a little memento of when they stopped by. :)
