For those doing the polaroid camera guestbook or went to a wedding with one...(Repost from NWB)...

How are you going to set it up?

A) Will have someone take pictures of eveyone first and then place the pictures in the book and have people come back and sign.

B) Will have someone take a picture of the guest and then immediately place the picture in the guestbook for them to sign.

C) Will take the the picture and have them sign the bottom and place it in the guestbook at a later date (like when you get back from honeymoon)?

Please help, FH and I went out and bought one camera and about 120 film. Our guest min. is 175 but we are planning for about 200. We really need help about the logistics of this.

I'm trying to figure out the best way not to have a long line of people waiting to sign. Oh yeah, are you going to have the guestbook up at the reception?

I tried doing a search on this but all that popped up was from girls discussing the planning and nothing from somone actually discussing in detail what they did and how it turned out. Didn't get too many responses from the Newlyweds, so I'm turing to my 05 girls for help.

Even if you just vote, it would help if you can offer any feedback on if there was lines, if one camera would be enough, etc..

Any and all advice is appreciated

I think some people had their wedding coordinator deal with it and other assigned a person in charge

I think Im doing B...not sure yet either. I know I'm assigning one or two people to take pictures and assuming some people will take them themselves. We are doing group pics so that helps...

Yea, I think assigning one person is the best. I had read a thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it htat really advised to having one person take all the pics so that if someone missed it, the person could always get their pictures taken throughout the reception.

We are assigning this job to someone. What we think is best is they will photograph everyone as they come in. They will then put each photo on a seperate page. After all the photos are in the book, they will go around with it so people can write whatever they want in it. It's actually a very big and important job. Hopefully they can get it done in an hour or so.

I read about this too and all the guests pictures were taken during cocktail hour. This was assigned to one person. Also during cocktail hour (and reception) same person went back to guests and had them sign.

Hmmm. Do they write on the bottom of the pictures?

No, they write on the page. This gives them plenty of room.
