Can we use a wedding cookbook as our guest book?
- Yes. Put the link or QR code in with your invitations and guests add a recipe and a note when they RSVP - about five minutes, no account needed. If you want everyone to sign it on the day, have it printed before the wedding and leave it open on the guest book table so people can find their own page.
When should guests send their recipes?
- If you want the book at the wedding, ask for recipes by your RSVP date or a little before. That leaves time to put it together, approve the proof and allow 7-10 working days for printing and delivery. If you are printing it afterwards there is no rush, and you can add photos from the day.
Can we order copies for our parents and the wedding party?
- Yes. Plenty of people order several, and the per-book price comes down the more you order. You approve one proof and every copy is printed from it. You can also reorder later, or share a private link so family and friends can order their own copy.
When should we start a wedding cookbook?
- Work back from the date: most organisers give contributors 2-4 weeks, and printing and delivery take 7-10 working days once you approve the layout. About six weeks is comfortable; less is possible if people reply quickly.
Can both families contribute to the same book?
- Yes, of course. Everyone gets their own link. They add a recipe, a note about why it matters and optionally a photo - no account needed, and it takes about five minutes. You can also add recipes on behalf of anyone who would rather not.
Does a wedding cookbook work as a group gift?
- It is one of the most common ways it is used. One person organises, everyone contributes a recipe and a message, and the cost is shared between them.
How many recipes should a wedding cookbook have?
- Most books hold between 20 and 80 recipes and can run to 298 pages. You pick the final selection before it goes to print, so you can trim it or include everything that was sent in.
