Signature Cloth

The Chinese traditional guestbook isn't made of paper, but silk! Usually a medium-to- lightweight silk square, often embroidered around the edges and always red, guests sign their witness to this cloth with a black pen. The cloth is then carefully folded and stored as a special memento of the wedding. If you really want to be authentic: use a brush pen and ink. Most Chinese giftshops will carry these cloths ready to use for the wedding, often featuring dragon/phoenix motifs and/or double happiness.
