Wedding Guest Book Puzzles

Choosing Your Options

We offer many options for your guest book puzzle, so you can have the puzzle that best suits your style and wedding theme. Our puzzles feature a custom designed main piece. You can have your wedding logo, monogram, theme and custom text laser engraved on the wood. Browse our Etsy shop listings for ideas, or use your own idea. We can design a special piece, just for you.  We offer two styles of wood for your puzzles. They can be cut from the same board (same grain) or from a mix of woods (mixed grain). Mixed Grain pieces are a pretty mix of shades and wood grain for added dimension, and add a rustic element to your puzzle. The borderless mixed grain with regular tab puzzle pieces are a popular choice, because they are reversible, so there is no "wrong side" for guests to sign. Another benefit of the mixed grain pieces, is that they are easily replaceable. 

Tab Types

We have two options for your puzzle piece tabs. They can be heart-shaped, or the regular round shape.

How to Get Your Puzzle Ready to Frame

The easiest way to stabilize your puzzle, is to tape the back with masking tape. This is less messy than glue, and won't damage the wood or signatures on the front of the puzzle. When your puzzle is taped, it is easy to pick up and position in a frame. It is also less permanent, so you can move pieces around later, should you ever wish to.

Frames

When choosing a frame, you will want to check the back of the frame and make sure it is a little deeper. Some frames are thin and barely hold a paper thickness, but many will have some clearance for matting, etc. You will want one of those, or a shadow box frame would have plenty of space for the puzzle thickness.

Make a Photo Guestbook Puzzle   

Photo and Idea by Donna Brown

I used clear packing tape on the backside to hold the pieces together. Then I made a mat for the back out of foam poster board. I cut "doors" in the mat so I could change out the pictures if I wanted to. I glued the mat to the back of the puzzle with Mod Podge. Then attached the Command strips to the mat. The puzzle was mounted using Velcro Command wall mounts.
