Your Wedding Guestbook Re-designed with Joy Anthology

Are you married? If so, where is your wedding guestbook right now? Did you even look through the names on your book to see who all attended your wedding? My point exactly! I know that I didn’t, and for those of you getting married soon or planning a future wedding, I have something you and your guests will absolutely love!

Joy Anthology. You probably never heard of it and neither had I until I had the privilege of working on this special project. A mother-daughter duo have created this ingenious idea with both of their backgrounds being professional photographers. Meet Holleen and Becca, the names behind this Iowa-based company, Joy Anthology. You can read more about their story HERE.

Completely customizable to your taste and decor, this is a 16X20X1.5 inch canvas with 100 photos of your guests at your wedding! (Ideal for weddings 100-300 in size). It is a piece of art. A statement piece. A conversation piece. Memories that will be shared with guests for years to come. Each canvas comes mounted and finished. Your canvas will also include a dust cover, hanging hardware, and wall buddies at no extra charge.

Through a custom mobile-friendly online tool, guests are invited to upload a photo (selfies welcome) to the event’s unique portal. The uploads are then approved by you and are populated into a stunning, artful, canvas print.

Step 1: Create an account with Joy Anthology and design your canvas.

Step 2: Customize your guest experience. There are no downloads or fees for guests to participate! Simply create a sign for your wedding (like the image pictured below) and to tell them how to participate. You will receive a URL special to your wedding where you can share this with guests even before the big day via social media, email, or your wedding website.

Step 3: Complete your purchase and get ready to text, click and submit your guestbook!

Below I have highlighted the most asked questions from brides and if I did not answer your question, feel free to contact them directly HERE.

πŸ™‹πŸΌ What if I have more than 100 guests?

Multiple people can be featured in 1 photo. For instance, 1 family all together or 1 table of guests. Under the photo you can state either the Adams Family OR Table 10.

πŸ™‹πŸΌ Are you worried about what photos are uploaded to your personal site for your canvas?

No problem. You can edit and choose what is added and not added in case Uncle Eddy gets a little tipsy from the punch πŸ˜‰

πŸ™‹πŸΌ What if guests don’t have social media?

All good. You can share the link via email or your wedding website as well.

πŸ™‹πŸΌ What if my guests forget to upload a photo at my wedding?

Your guests have 3 days after the event to submit photos.

Rehearsal Dresses for Every Style & Budget

Confession. I have never been a fan of the actual wedding ceremony, maybe because I feel anxious for everyone standing up front, but I love all things wedding, like the dresses, colors and the reception of course! I frequently run across dresses when I am shopping and think they would be so cute or perfect for a wedding or a rehearsal dress. So I took a poll on Instagram and asked my followers if they would be interested in a post and 90% said YES to the dress! Haha so cheesy, but seriously I was so excited because I love shopping for you guys.

I tried to find something for every budget and if you just hover on the photos it will show you the price and if you click the image, it will take you directly to where you can purchase it. I also tried to think of all of the different styles of wedding and locations. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites and please feel free to comment if you are wanting me to keep an eye out for something more specific!

'Tis the season!!
