I’ve been a bit quiet, but that’s because I’m on vacation celebrating our wedding anniversary! ❤️❤️

My website is still open and accepting orders!

We are going to be adding some new sizes for the guestbook to the website soon!

Stay tuned!

Sometimes people ask me how I have time to do this little side business…well, it’s something I LOVE doing, so I make the time to do it!!

When a couple reaches out to me for a custom project or orders a guest book or card keepsake frame, I get to be a part of their special day! I remember my day and all of the friends and family that were able to be there. It makes me so HAPPY that someone has chosen me to add to it!

With the help of my husband, we get to make something that will be cherished in your home for years to come.

When I make a card keepsake, it’s not about just cutting up cards to put in a frame. I take my time. I look at each card. I think about how I can put the pieces together to tell a story.

Thank you to the couples who have selected Keepsakes by Gretchen to be a part of your special day! ❤️❤️

Did you know that the wedding guest book tradition was actually used as a legal document?? I didn’t! It was used for witnesses to sign to affirm the wedding actually happened! 👰‍♀️💍🤵‍♂️

There are so many guestbooks to choose from now and many question if one is even needed! When we were planning our wedding, we wanted something to have to hang in our home and remember our special day!

Our wedding guest books are made to order and customizable! Gray and oak barnwood available!
