Capture the Moment: DIY Wedding Guest Book Station with Polaroid Cameras

August 11, 2024

A wedding trend gaining popularity is a DIY guest book station with Instax Polaroid cameras. It’s a fun activity for your guests and creates a unique and personal memento of your special day. 

It’s easy to organise and relatively low cost. Here are my tips on what you need and how to set up the station.

Preparation ahead of the wedding: gather supplies

To create the guest book station, you’ll need:

  1. Snap a photo
  2. Stick it in the book
  3. Leave a message for the bride and groom
On the day of the wedding: Setting up the station

Arrange the cameras, film, guest book and the extras on a sturdy table. Use decorative items to make the area inviting and cohesive with your wedding theme. Consider adding a backdrop for photos, such as a floral wall or a rustic wooden frame.

Make sure the station is user friendly, that all items are easily accessible and practice using the Instax cameras.

Photo time! Get the guests involved

It can be helpful if you have a few guests on hand who know how to use the cameras and can get other guests involved. Maybe a job for the bridesmaids or groomsmen.

A DIY guest book station with Instax Polaroid cameras is a fantastic way to add a personal and interactive element to your wedding. It captures the essence of the day in a fun and memorable way, creating a guest book that you’ll treasure forever. With a little planning and creativity, you can set up a station that will be a highlight for your guests and a beloved memento for you.
