Wedding Forum - Guest book help!...

Just wondering if anyone is able to recommend somewhere/someone I can get a guest book like the one pictured below from? It fits perfectly with our theme and I absolutely love it, but can only find it from US sellers - would prefer to buy from the UK!

Thanks in advance

Thanks Victoria but it's from the US again!

Found lots of lovely stuff from the US that just doesn't seem to be available in the UK :(

Thanks for your efforts but they're not really what I'm looking for. Thank you anyway though x

I've ordered bits from us and as long as u look up on custom charges ect then had no problems :) it's a beautiful guest book :) we r struggling to find one to go with our theme as its rustic vintage sort of theme but not full on so haven't a clue. But I'd try ordering. It as u have time in case it doesn't work out x

I've also bought items from the US and never had any problems. Just look at their reviews etc and see what everyone else says? xx

From what I've read it seems like people tend to get stung with customs charges more so ordering from the US than if ordering from China... that's the only reason I am a bit wary! I emailed the seller with my concern and she said she would be able to change the value on the packaging so as to try and avoid customs. I might take the risk... after all I did take the risk with my bm dresses from China and that turned out more than fine.

Considered making our own but can't even find a nice enough leather journal/notebook! There is a nice one from Chinese sellers on the bay but there is a quote on the front which obviously started off in Chinese and has been translated to English, but the translation does not make sense at all which obviously ruins it lol.

Thanks for comments :) xx

There is a way some sellars get around the customs fees for their customers and thats when they send it as a gift instead of merchandise which is technically against regulations and depends on the seller. It also can depend on the value but changing this can affect their insurance should the product be lost. In my experiece I have always received my items and only been charged customs three times and made about 30+ purchases on Et$y itself from jewellery, clothing, props etc.

It's gorgeous. Looks like something you get in stately homes gift shops. Think I've seen similar on @m@z0n too.

I've ordered quite a few things from the US & China and never had to pay customs charges, it might be worth it if it's exactly what you are looking for x

I've spent about £30 on one thing from the US and I've bought a few little things and I didn't get charged for any of them, don't think they were marked as a gift either. I'm sure you will be fine xx

Found this on 3tsy... they can add lettering or an image of some sort onto one of the corners for an extra fee, so could just have "Guest Book" or something on the cover. Buy some lace/ribbon and wrap it around the tie-up bits... what do you think? Would it look naff?

That would work still, you could make it look close to the one you like, but think about the cost of getting it here, plus the extras to make it look like you want compared to the cost of the original one.

Back to the drawing board...

Who would have thought finding a flippin guest book was one of the hardest parts of planning a wedding?!

Just have a very quick search and found a similar one for £23 inc postage but without the key

Was the one you wanted about £53 with £17 postage!

I can't remember now GF, it was quite pricey!

I've put the link on your wall

That's a lot cheaper than the other site even with postage,

Still more than I was thinking of spending on a guest book though! But not seen anything that I like nearly half as much. Would go fab with our cards suitcase as well.

It's the original one Emily!

You need to go for it flossie. Honestly think if you try to recreate it, you'll be spending a lot more than that.

just found it on 3tsy, its £81.90 inc postage so £40 is a bargain!

Ooh so much excitement over the guest book! Fingers crossed you get it :)

Just had a look at it and it's gorgeous and it says it's the last one so I'd snap it up! I've ordered from the US before something costing about £30 and didn't get charged so you might be ok xx

He likes it but I'm still a bit apprehensive about ordering. Not because it's from the US, just because it is a lot more money than I was hoping to spend on a guest book, so I'm going to hold out in case I find an alternative. Spent a lot of money on wedding stuff the past few months!

I found another listing, it's not the last one so I won't miss out if I do decide to go for it.
