Remember your guests' travels with a push pin map guestbook #Decor#guestbook#maps#steal-this-idea#travel theme Updated Dec 26 2016 (Posted Mar 14 2016) Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by Anna Jaye Photography We aren't talking about "pinning" in terms of Pinterest for once. We're talking an actual push pin map guestbook. Brenna and Dennis had a nifty, thrifty idea for their guestbook: guests placed a pin on a map indicating from where they traveled. This ideas serves two purposes: find out who traveled the farthest, and have a visual keepsake of where all your guests live. Super fun times! Let's hear from Brenna on the whole scheme. We were surrounded by so many people we love. Dennis has a very large family, and we both have many friends, so instead of trying to cut down on either group, we invited everyone, which brought quite a few people together. We were lucky to have a number of people travel long distances for the wedding, so at the entrance we had people put a pin in the map to say where they came from. The longest distance: Uganda! Uganda be kidding me! Uuuugh, sorry for that pun. Can you blame me? Let's hear your own guestbook ideas, if you're having one.

Problem was, a couple people brought large gifts and set them right on top of the guestbook!
