Be My Guest

Sorry, I am really not like this but I am also not going to lie...I loved seeing that my guestbook is part of Amanda's advertising on Etsy! I cannot praise this woman enough - she was awesome to work with and found this beautiful paper for me. She also never told me but added in our monogram swirls to the actual guestbook pages (how cool is that!).

I am happy we went with the polaroid guest book because I do think people really liked it. I will say that this was a huge hit for many of our young guests, however the older crowd were a little bit confused. I even had a relative keep asking me where the "real" guestbook was located. But we were able to get some of these folks to break from conformity and actually do some photos, so it was good!

Please be warned though - with alcohol flowing for several hours, several guests decided to take some rather vulgar shots (in bathrooms, underneath tables...I hope you get my drift). I pretty much knew this was going to happen, but it is still a little bit of a shock to see a naked bum congratulating you on your special day!

So our polaroid guestbook is arriving this week! Thanks to Amanda, who is the owner of Paperlust, she sent me some photos of it. I wanted something unique and fun and I think she nailed it. We started looking for my colors first (deep chocolate and deep pink) and really could only find a couple that I liked. Then I decided that I just loved this paper too much to not use it. Any type of retro flowers - I am all over it. Of course, to tie it back into our wedding - I used our lovely logo.

Photo Guest Book

I would love to do the Photo Booth at our wedding, but unfortunately, I don't think it works in our budget. Instead, I love this idea - the Photo Guest Book from Adesso Albums. You can buy the whole set for $139.95 which includes the album, polaroid camera and film. However, I am trying to look on ebay and see if I can get the polaroid camera for less. And actually found them for a way better price, so I would only need to buy the album then. I just know our friends would get a big kick out of taking photos and leaving messages.
