Guest Books

Frequently Asked Questions

What wood options are available?

We offer two wood colors: Natural Maple (a light, warm-toned wood) and Dark Walnut (a rich, dark brown wood). Both feature genuine wood with natural grain patterns, making each guest book truly one-of-a-kind.

What can I customize on the guest book?

You can choose your wood color, add a full-color photo that's embedded in the cover, and include your loved one's name and life dates (dates are optional) which are engraved into the wood. Several engraving design options are available.

Is each guest book unique?

Yes! Because we use genuine wood with natural grain patterns, every guest book has unique variations in the wood — just like your loved one was unique. No two books are exactly alike.

How many pages are in the guest book?

Each guest book includes 30 sheets of premium paper, which gives you 60 pages total. That's plenty of space for guest signatures, personal messages, photos, and memories. The thick, high-quality paper is smooth and easy to write on.

How quickly can I receive my guest book?

Most orders ship within 24 hours. Standard shipping typically delivers in 2-3 business days. We offer expedited and overnight shipping for urgent needs. Guest books are carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition.

Can I get a guest book in time for the service?

In most cases, yes. With our fast production and overnight shipping, we can deliver to most U.S. locations within 1-2 days. For extremely tight timelines, contact us directly — we understand urgency and will do everything possible to help.

What materials are used?

Guest books feature genuine wood covers (maple or walnut), brass hardware, and leather binding. The photo is printed in high-quality full color and embedded in the cover. The name and dates are elegantly engraved into the wood.

Will the guest book last for generations?

Absolutely. The combination of real wood, brass hardware, and leather binding creates a premium keepsake designed to endure for generations. These materials age beautifully and are chosen specifically for longevity.

How do I personalize my guest book?

Choose your wood color (maple or walnut), upload your photo, and add the name and dates. Select an engraving design that fits your style. You'll see a high-quality live preview as you design — what you see on screen is exactly what will be printed.

Can the guest book match our other memorial products?

While our wooden guest books have a distinct style, you can use the same photo across all products for a cohesive memorial suite. Many families appreciate having a unique wooden keepsake alongside coordinating programs and prayer cards.

Can I use the guest book as a photo album?

Yes! The premium pages are perfect for adding photos after the service. Many families use their guest book as both a service sign-in book and a photo memory book, creating a comprehensive keepsake.

How should I display the guest book at the service?

Position the guest book near the entrance where guests naturally pause. The beautiful wood cover serves as its own display piece. Provide quality pens in dark ink, and consider a small sign encouraging guests to share a favorite memory.
