A Retro Idea for tables at the wedding!

How about putting a Polaroid Camera at each table so that people can take pictures of themselves and have the results right away. It's better than those one time use cameras that need to be developed and its cheaper than a photo booth!

HERE IS THE CAMERA THAT I AM GOING TO USE. ITS ONLY $37 DOLLARS. AND ITS A CUTE BLUE COLOR. SO.. I WILL NEED 21 CAMERAS BECAUSE I HAVE 21 TABLES.

..WHAT WILL I DO WITH 21 CAMERAS AFTER THE WEDDING IS OVER? AHAHAHA

Did anyone see the King of Queens episode with the cameras on the tables at a wedding? Let's just say you might end up with some very interesting pictures.

Just FYI, polaroid has discontinued their 'instant camera film' - they are only producing enough to last through mid 2009 and then that's it, no more.

So depending on when your wedding is, you may not be able to do this. Also, I've heard that some people/companies are going to buy up all the film they can starting now so they can later resell it for $$$.

Good luck!

I'd be tempted to use the cameras just to see if someone would pull a 'doug heffernan'

I just sent you an FM but like the other girls have mentioned, Polaroid has discontinued making this film, and you won't be able to get it after a certain point. Good luck!
