# How to Combine a Wedding Guest Book and Photo Album

Pair guest messages and photos in a keepsake you can revisit after your wedding.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

## The short answer

Set out a guest book for written messages and invite guests to share photos in one album. Afterward, choose the messages and pictures you want to keep together.

## A simple plan

### **Choose a format**

Decide between a paper book, photos, or a mix.

### **Set up a station**

Make pens and simple instructions easy to find.

### **Invite photo sharing**

Put the album QR code next to the book.

### **Make your keepsake**

Choose favorites once guests have shared.

## Pick the keepsake that suits you

| **Format** | **Guests contribute** | **Remember to** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Paper guest book | Handwritten messages | Bring pens and leave enough table space |
| Instant-photo book | A print and a handwritten note | Supply film and a way to attach prints |
| Paper book plus shared album | Written notes and phone photos | Tell guests where to upload their photos |

A QR album gathers phone photos, while the paper book keeps handwriting. They do not automatically pair each note with a photo; you can choose and arrange them together afterward.

## Make the station easy to understand

Place your book, pen, and album QR code together. Keep the instruction short:

> Leave us a note, then scan to share your photos.

Ask someone in the wedding party to check that the pen works and the sign is visible. If you use instant film, keep spare film nearby.

## After the wedding

Download your album before its storage period ends. Choose a few guest photos and messages for a printed book, or keep the handwritten book and digital collection side by side.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix collects guest photos and videos in an event album using a QR code or link. Pair it with a paper book if you also want handwritten messages.
