Photo Guest Book
With less than a month left until my wedding day, I have to admit I’m getting just a little panicked. Okay maybe more like a lot! Especially since I’ve been undecided about a variety of things and one of them being the guest book. In Hawaii, a lot of couples use regular sign-in books for guests to fill out their name and addresses or have guests double-check their contact information on index cards. This is mainly for practical reasons-that way the couple can immediately send out their thank you cards without the fear of it not being sent.
The problem is that I love to do things differently and I’m definitely not practical. And I’d love to the photo booth idea that I wrote about a few posts ago, but while really cool, it was a little too expensive for our budget. So I have been debating for several months whether or not I should give in to the recent fad of the Polaroid guest book. You know the ones where someone takes a picture of your guests and then these photos go with their messages in a scrapbook? Well, you can get the entire kit with Polaroid camera, guest book and film as a set at beau coup and various other sites. The kit can get a little pricey which is why it’s taken me so long to decide.
Lucky for me, however, a friend who used this idea for her own wedding donated her camera to me. I found film at Target and will use photo corners to align guest’s pictures. Although time consuming, I think it’ll be worth it as a keepsake and to be able to match people’s messages with their faces. What kind of things are you doing for your guest book?
