One of the first things you see upon entering a reception is the guest book. It's important to have (whenever possible) the guest book at the reception before anyone arrives. Recently I DJed a reception in which everyone arrived at the same time. The guest book was placed right inside the entrance door. As the guests arrived there was a massive line of people waiting outside in the cold because of everyone waiting to sign the guest book. Whenever possible place the guest books in an area of the facility the gives you some extra space in case of a long line of people are waiting to sing in. I understand that you will want to catch the guests as soon as they walk in so they can sign but just be aware of the possible long line that can form.
