Frequently Asked Questions

GUESTBOOK CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS USED

All guestbook alternatives are constructed using high quality REAL wood. We use a solid piece of edge glued pine wood with keyholes for hanging flat on any surface (total thickness of 3/4 - 1 inch)

There are NO PAGES as these are fun alternatives to a traditional guestbook. Each guestbook is made using high quality sign grade vinyl to allow a cleaner crisper look, and to allow us to offer these at a more affordable price and with a quicker turnaround time. Please be assured using vinyl (versus paint) does not compromise the quality of the guestbook. All wood pieces are unique in the grain appearance and texture they present giving it a natural rustic look. No grain requests can be honored.

SIGNING YOUR GUESTBOOK ALTERNATIVE

Sharpie brand markers are generally recommended due to various colors and tip sizes giving a variety of options, but a number of other paint pens also work well. We recommend trying out any markers on the back of your guestbook before the event.

DO I NEED TO SEAL MY SIGNED GUESTBOOK?

As these are meant to stay indoors out of the elements it is not necessary to seal it again after signing, but if you choose to do so we recommend using a spray-on non-yellowing clear coat.

CURRENT PRODUCTION TIMES

Current production times are posted under the shipping section of each listing and generally posted in the shop announcement. This does not include shipping time. These change throughout the year and will increase during Spring/Summer months. Please message me if you are concerned about receiving your item before a certain date if you are close to these dates BEFORE you order. Thank you!

STAIN VARIATION AND INFORMATION

Please keep in mind that stain appearance can vary based on wood grain and saturation for each individual piece. Photos may show different variations of a stain color due to this and other factors such as lighting, where the picture was taken, etc. Please refer to the stain sample in each listing picture for the most accurate stain color. We DO NOT fully stain the back of any sign the way that the full front is stained to keep costs down and a lighter coat is applied to the back as most signs are generally used on an easel, against something that doesn’t show the back, or decorated with flowers or leaves. If you wish to have the back completely finished with stain the same as the front, please message us prior to ordering for pricing.
