Instead of just setting out a guestbook, you can provide each guest (or each couple) an individual "guest page" which contains prompts for them to write more than just their names and "best wishes." At the end of your reception, you collect all the pages and compile them into a keepsake book.
There's a company that makes such a product. It's The Guestbook Store.
Here's how they describe this:Rather than a book of autographs likely to be stored away, these non-traditional guestbooks personalize your event and capture guests' memories and heartfelt wishes of your special day.
Each guest at your event will receive their very own guestbook page to fill out and share special messages at their leisure. After your event, simply place the completed pages in one of our many guestbook album designs and enjoy!
I like this idea. All too often, at wedding receptions, I notice that many guests don't even notice the guestbook. And even if they do, they can't think of anything unique to write. And this is true even if I'm asked to make an announcement reminding the guests there is a guestbook sitting out there awaiting signatures.

I have already purchased my guestbook from the Guestbook store months ago! I had the idea and was going to have my sister make a scrapbook version for me but then later found the Guestbook Store and was so excited to see a pre-made version of what I wanted to do. And the coolest thing about it? They have pages that have room for a 4x6 photo of the guests to place on their pages they sign so you can see them and remember what they looked like on your wedding day. We are having a photobooth available next to our guestbook that prints out color 4x6 images of their photos - 2 sets...one for them to take home as a favor and one for them to leave to place on their guestbook page for us. :)
