4 Different Personalized Bible Guest Book Options For Your Wedding
/If you’ve landed on this blog post, you’ve already decided you want to do a personalized Bible guest book for your wedding day (or as a gift for for spouse-to-be, friend, anniversary, etc.), but then we have the real question…what do you want it to look like?
Do you want a simple painted Bible so that it can be in your home and match for years to come? Or have flowers to match your wedding day? Reflect a landscape that’s special to the 2 of you? Or would you prefer a softcover leather engraved Bible?
So many options! But that’s where I’m here to help. Let’s break down your options so that you can decide which one you’re the most drawn to, and then you can get to the nitty gritty of customizing it!!
Text-Only Bible Guest Book
I’m putting this one first because it’s probably the most simple painted Bible option that still allows you to choose the colors and wording that you want without going overboard.
What you get to customize:
Choose the journaling Bible version you want (NIV, ESV, NKJV, KJV, NLT, NRSV) that has lined margins where guests can sign and leave you notes
Background color (each Bible is hand painted with colors mixed to fit your needs, so it can be any color)
Wording on front, spine, and back (add your first names, last name, wedding date, the Holy Bible, any verse you’d like, etc., and mix and match it up however you want)
Wording color (gold, silver, black, white, rose gold, or navy blue)
Timeline: These Bibles will ship within 3 weeks of your order date with priority 2-3 day shipping (and we have rush options as well if you need the Bible quicker)
So say your wedding colors and navy, gold, and white. You could choose a navy background with white or gold text, or a white background with gold or navy text.
Make it as neutral or colorful as you want. We can do black or white backgrounds, or any color of your choosing with a text color that correlates. The options are limitless, but the result is simple and timeliness. And then add whatever wording combination you’d like and your choice of font styles.
Here are several examples to show what I mean:
Floral Painted Bible Guest Books
Now, if you want to take things a step further or add a bit more detail to reflect your wedding day, the floral painted Bibles are perfect!
We have several layout options as you can see in the photos below, and once you pick one of the styles, you get to completely customize things from there. Choose all the colors, text, greenery, and flowers, and even send us your bouquet pictures to use as inspiration. This Bible is the perfect way to have a piece of your wedding day with you forever as you look back at your flowers memorialized in such a special way.
What you get to customize:
Choose the journaling Bible version you want (NIV, ESV, NKJV, KJV, NLT, NRSV) that has lined margins where guests can sign and leave you notes
Background color
Wording on front, spine, and back (add your first names, last name, wedding date, the Holy Bible, any verse you’d like, etc., and mix and match it up however you want)

Greenery type and colors
Flower types and colors
The examples below are just a few of the ways people have customized the different layouts, so if you see one you like, picture it with your own color palette, wording, and flowers! You can also contact us for totally custom layouts and designs. The options are limitless and we are here to make your Bible special for you!
Landscape Painted Bible Guest Book
Now, for possibly the most fun of all the painted options, we have the landscape Bibles! We only offer these on a limited basis because they can be a bit time consuming, but if you want a truly special piece to remember your wedding day by, I highly recommend this option. We’ve painted chapels, outdoor ceremony scenes, mountain engagement scenes, and more, and each one is more special than the last.
Essentially, you send us a picture of whatever landscape you’re hoping for, we adjust the image so that it can fit horizontally across the Bible (which may require using 2 different pictures to sort of weave them together, extending parts of the scene, or making up bits to fill the space), and then we get to work painting!
Here’s what you get to customize:
Your choice of Bible version
Picture or inspiration photos used for your landscape scene
Wording on the front, spine, and back
Wording color (gold, silver, black, white, rose gold, or navy blue)
Timeline: These Bibles will ship within 4-5 weeks of your order date with priority 2-3 day shipping (we do not offer rushes on the landscape Bibles due to their level of detail)

Leather Bible Guest Book
If your wedding is more rustic, or you want a soft, flexible cover that you can really use without worrying about trying to keep nice, leather may be the way to go. You could ultimately customize a Bible any way you’d like, but we do have some designs in the shop that you can use as well if you’re not sure what you’d like.
The leather Bibles are also great if you’re in a time pinch. We can get these shipped out in 1-5 business days with priority 2-3 day shipping, so if you need something ASAP you’re good to go!
Here’s what you get to customize:
Your choice of Bible version (NIV, ESV, NKJV, KJV, CSB, and NLT- plus a few different varieties of some of the versions)
Design (pick one from the shop or customize your own)
Option to add a verse/other design to the back as well (this is an extra fee)
Personalization (could be your names, last name, wedding date, etc.)
Font (we currently offer a plain font, cursive/script, or all CAPS)
Timeline: As mentioned previously, your Bible will ship in less than a week from your order date with priority 2-3 day shipping, and if you need it quicker we have rush options as well as can usually get them shipped quicker without a rush.
Check out some of the options below or head to the shop to customize your own!
And there we have it! We also have various guest book signs, pen and highlighter sets, and beautiful suede gift bags in the shop so you don’t have to look anywhere else and can get everything in one place.
If you’ve been thinking about a Bible guest book, we hope this blog post has given you some inspiration and excitement about creating your own special Bible, and we’d love to help bring your vision to life if you have some in mind that you don’t see in the shop or want to add your own spin to one of our designs!
