Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

Have you seen this - Looks like an easy way to do it - of course it's only 30 pages, so you'd probably have to have a couple of books!

Photo Book

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

we're doing a polaroid guest book but to save money we're going to just buy a scrapbook or two and then put out some gluesticks and fun colors pens. our minimum is 150.. we'd need at least 3 to 4 books and that would be crazy for us.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I think it's a great idea -- but it seems a little expensive. Are there cheaper ones??

Those are actually Adesso albums! Same one I used. And no, I didn't need more than one book.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I love that idea, but it can definitely be done in an inexpensive way. We are all so creative, I bet someone could figure it out and suggest something. Maybe you can get bigger books, like scrapbooks and put more than one picture on a page.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I love that Idea....but my guest list is at least 165, so 30 pages won't be enough for me either. Maybe I'll make mine own with a scrapbook like someone had said.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

This is probably a stupid question, but how does a polaroid guestbook work?

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I was reading this post the other day on the Newlyweds board...Thread

This is from MCDO15's post...


#1 - photo guest book wasnt for me.. i rather have a regular sign in book. ppl took the picture and either kept it or didnt right anything in the book. this does me no good. the point was to get a photo next to the picture. I dont blame la productions for that but how safe that idea that my guest would actually have to do something that required thinking.


I made note of that because we were tossing around the idea of doing one also.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I did it and it turned out to be a HUGE hit- most guests took their pic and wrote in the book- BUT I purchased the Adesso book- what a waste!!!!! B/c I had 175 guests I also purchased a photo guest book from target for 12.99 and that one WAS the HIT!!!!! Simplicity is better for guests who are drinking I guess- the Adesso book I didnt like either b/c there arent protective coverings for the photos and it was a bit complicated to get the pic into the page- total waste of 100 bucks- Not ONE person used that book even though it looked sharper too!!!! Def save your money and do a scrapbook or get the one from target- its really really nice! GL!!

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I read somewhere that it works best if you have someone helping guests out with taking pictures and making sure they sign in the book as well...

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I love it!!!

But if I do it I may use a cheaper version.
The makers of the books should have know there always more than 30 guest at a wedding!!

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

I actually saw a similar idea in a girl's bio on the knot.com.....we are going to use our engagement pics that Duet took (we have like 80) and fill a scrapbook with them and have the guests sign around the pics - all I need to do is get a scrapbook and a cool silver or gold pen!

We had ours out during the cocktail hour and at the reception( during the reception it was on the table right outside the door along with the slipper baskets), my DOC started it but my guests did it primarily on their own and the stuff they write too - how friggin funny!!!!
I will post a pic of what mine looked like during the cocktail hour.

Re: Anyone doing the Polaroid Guest Book?

We did it, but you really need someone to do the book for you. I had a LIW girl do it who was more than happy to! and I did it for hers :)

btw it is true that everyone wants to keep the picture. Its very annoying actually- esp since each picture is like $1 or so a piece!
