Polaroid Guest book page count...?

Michelle, on March 28, 2022 at 8:05 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

I have approx 200 guests for my wedding, and we wanted to do the guest book with mini polaroids. Obviously if folks are adding a picture next to their message it will take up more space on the page... what should I estimate for a page count for my book?

    I would do 1/2 or 1/3 page per guest/couple. But what I'd really suggest is one of the books with rings so you can easily take out extra pages! Then you can overestimate and not worry about it. 😊

    I agree with JMZ. Guests will take couple or group photos and place them at 2-3 per sheet, particularly with minis. Try to ask a couple friends to take candids around the reception. Extra sheets (and you will still have them) can be dedicated for those.

    Considering doing this also… but we are worried that after a couple drinks, people won’t be able to figure out how to use the camera well or change the film every ten snaps (for the instax mini). Is there a way to make this foolproof without hiring an attendant?

    I had the full Fuji InstaMax (not Mini), but it probably works the same. It's one-button snap and instant results. If it doesn't output a picture right away, then you know you're out. Reloading film is a quick open button, remove, and insert new. You can add a sign with a tip that close-ups are less blurry (or waist up). On our guest book table, we had a tray with boxes of extra film, pens, and double sided tape next to our guest book.

    It did cost $, but was a pet project of the groom. We bought 2 cameras, and colored film on Amazon. The best surprise the day after was finding my SIL went around and took candids. I was also happy our guests took romantic pics for themselves to take home. Something about printed pics. . . Here is a pro photo of our table, with acrylic tray holding extra film, gel pens, and dual-sided tape. We had a sign, but not necessary. Our florist added flowers.

    Thanks!! That looks so great and you clearly had so many nice “touches” that pulled it all together!

    This looks really lovely. I like how each photo has a different colour around the edge of it. Smiley smile
