Make a Personalized Polaroid Picture Guestbook for Your Wedding/Event
Make your guestbook your favorite keepsake from your wedding/event! Make it personalized, fun and filled with pictures and anecdotes from the people you love. This is a unique way to turn a sometimes stale wedding tradition into a vivid conversational piece and collective piece of art to remember your event by.
Instructions
1. CHOOSE A THEME FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK PAPER - I chose an Old World Theme which had deep vibrant colors, I picked it up at Michaels. It had nothing to do with my wedding colors, but every time I open it the colors excite me.
2. PASTE YOUR 12x12 PAPER ONTO YOUR SCRAPBOOK PAGES- I used glue sticks, it worked fine for me, but I am sure there are other ways. I recommend making a page for each couple invited.
3. CREATE FUN & CREATIVE THEMED QUESTIONS TO PRINT OUT AND INCLUDE ON EACH PAGE: Our questions were as follows: Your Predictions (Date of First Child, # of Children, Sex of Children), Your Favorite Bride or Groom Memory and Special Wishes. Make sure to leave a space for the guest to write answers to these questions.
4. CREATE AND PRINT A SPACE TO WRITE NAME AND TO PASTE POLAROID PICTURE ON EACH PAGE
5. ORGANIZE TO HAVE A GUEST BOOK ATTENDANT TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF EACH COUPLE AS THEY COME INTO THE CEREMONY SITE: we had a groomsmen responsible of clicking a picture as the guests walked in. For those who came late or were part of the bridal party, we left the polaroid camera out so that they could take a picture during the cocktail hour or reception.
6. DISPLAY PICTURES AT A SPECIFIC GUESTBOOK TABLE AT THE COCKTAIL HOUR/RECEPTION WITH MARKERS, TAPE, AND THE GUESTBOOK PAGES FOR GUESTS TO FILL OUT. Make sure there is a designated area where completed guestbook pages should be put. Also, make sure the DJ contiues to announce that the guests should head over to the guestbook table if they haven't yet completed their page.
7. AFTER THE WEDDING PUT ALL YOUR GUESTBOOK PAGES INTO THE SCRAPBOOK YOU BOUGHT AND ENJOY IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME!
