Free Minimalist Welcome Book Template – 4 Sample Pages, Scandinavian Style Cover, Essentials & House Rules, Editable, No Canva
Download a free minimalist welcome book template: four finished, editable pages from our 18-page Scandinavian Minimalist Welcome Book. You get a type-led cover, a welcome note, an essentials page for check-in, parking and trash, and a combined house rules and checkout page, so you can see how the full guest guide looks and put the first pages to work at once.
The design is calm and type-led: thin hairline rules, big numerals, lots of white space and a single line-drawn house on the cover, all in soft off-white, charcoal and greige.
