    As some of you know, we got married in Gretna Green and just had a small wedding (less than 20 of us), so we didn't bother with a guest book for the actual day.

    Four weeks later we had our evening reception back in Leeds for all our friends/family/colleagues that couldn't be at the wedding (or weren't invited lol). I spent the day before shopping for a guest book, as I thought it would be good to get people to sign it as there were more people at the evening party.

    On the day of the party though, we spent all day running round demented trimming the venue, collecting balloons, getting my hair done and helping my mil set out the buffet (as she did it as a wedding present for us). We actually arrived for the party at the same time as the guests - and I made a quick change into my wedding dress for most of the night then.

    I've just been looking through the cards and wedding things - and guess what I found??? Yep, the guest book, unused and still in its box - as we completely forgot to take it to the evening reception!! I'm a bit gutted but at least we've got all the cards to keep at least.

    Nothing we can do now, so I suppose it's just another thing to add to the ebay selling list lol...

    could you maybe email your guest and ask them to write in a email as though they were writing in your guest book then you could print them out and stick them in xx
