Polaroid Camera Guestbook

Following...

I'd ask someone to do it. I know if my friend group was at that wedding and it was do it yourself you'd get some stupid looking picture or they would use it on themselves and keep it.

A lot of people have guest book attendants so just ask them if they wouldn't mind doing it like this and explain the concept

We did it. We had 88 guests and 2 cameras and a ton of film ( like 15 rolls). We had a ton of film left over and the book is awesome. I also bought so fun props from Etsy. People were at the table all night. We had no attendant.

I plan on doing this as well...and leaving a teen family member in charge!

If this was my friends, the pictures would be horrible and crass. They would all be of a few people. There would be some people not pictured at all. There may even be no pictures because people took them home. Absolutely have an attendant.

One of my brothers did this at their wedding, and they put my other brother in charge. He didn't mind and it worked out fine.

I was just talking to friends of mine who did this at their wedding 3 yrs ago . Every anniversary they go and one developed and they both said it's random pics to look back on! They have enjoyed it! 32 more to go ....

My friend did it. She had over 200 guests and I don't think she had an issue. She only had it at the reception and had 2 cameras there.

We did it! We just had one camera and about 120 film for about 90 guests. We didn't have anyone in charge of it just left the camera by the seating chart with the guestbook and a basket of extra film, pretty tape, pens and a printout I made of directions! It worked out really well and we had about 30-40 pieces of film leftover since most people took group photos. I actually wish more people took photos home lol bc I don't know when I'll ever use all that film !

Setup

Directions

My friends did this at their wedding last month. They had 2 attendants when people walked in to take people's photos. Then after the ceremony was over there weren't attendants anymore. People sporadically went back and took maybe 1 other photo to take a souvenir with them. Unless you have teenagers or young children at your wedding that will have access to them, I don't think adults will have a problem with overusing these.

ETA: wording

I'm doing one and I got.enough film for every one to.take one picture and of there is any film left over.the DOC knows to put them away due to us getting a photo booth.

I wanted to do this so badly, but had the same fear as you in that people would only take pics for themselves or just go crazy taking pics.. and the film isn't cheap. I ended up scratching this idea sadly.

We're planning to do this, and I'm asking by cousin to man the camera prior to the ceremony and during cocktail hour for a little while. I've read posts about problems with leaving the camera unmanned such as the film jamming because people don't know how to load it right...

My aunt did this for her cousin and it turned out to be nice.

I would feel uncomfortable asking anyone to oversee it.

I've been to alot of wedding with these and I've noticed 1) kids will waste the hell out of your film 2) people kept their pictures instead of putting them in the book

My cousin did this at her wedding, and it went smoothly without anyone policing it. That's really a know your crowd thing though.

I'm doing one. I asked someone to be in charge. She'll take the picture & make sure everyone signs it. She was happy to do it.
