Weddings can go by in a blur! Along with photos and videos, you’ll want some wedding souvenirs you can take home and cherish for a lifetime. This DIY globe guest book is a unique way to create some wedding memories you’ll always remember. You can have guests sign their names based on the location of their hometown, their favorite place to travel to, or the country they’ve always wanted to see.
This globe guest book is especially perfect if you’re planning a DIY wedding, a travel-themed wedding, or a destination wedding. For more travel-themed wedding ideas, check out our DIY photo booth props. These two craft projects are a simple way to make your wedding more personal and meaningful.

Hi Lia! My sister and I are very excited to make this as a gift, but we haven’t been able to find the “stainless gold” foil. Is there another foil color you would recommend? Thanks!
Hi! It’s available on Cricut’s site, but you really can use any vinyl you want!
Is this something I could order and have made? I’m not a super crafty person but this is exactly what I am looking for to use as a guest book for my wedding.
Hi Tami! I wish we had that service available, but we do not 🙂
What font is this?
It’s based off the font Wild Ones, but we customized it a bit 🙂
Hi! What size globe was used? Thank you!
Hi Sarah,

Can I just buy the svg without becoming a member?
Hi Jackie,
Unfortunately we do not have the option to purchase just an SVG file.
how many guests would you say one average sized globe is good for?
Hi Corinne,
The bride that used this for her wedding had around 120 guests!
Hey! What kind of pen would you recommend when the guests are signing the globe?
We used gold sharpie markers! Black would also work.
