Memorial Guest Books

Recently I was asked to make one of my wedding guest books into a memorial guest book. I was very honored to make such a special piece for the buyer! Knowing first hand how overwhelming the whole process can be, I wanted this book to be perfect and I love the end result.

I thought today was the perfect day to introduce these books as my brother passed away 5 months ago today. I think of him everyday!

When I listed this book, I searched Etsy for similar items for tagging and proper wording. I was surprised by the lack of this style of book. I'm happy to be offering these books in my shop now to give people the opportunity to have a custom made book just for their loved ones. And I made sure to offer a rush option as I know these events often take place on a quick and unexpected time frame.

I hope none of my readers have a need for one of these books, but I am happy to be offering them.
