How to Incorporate Polaroid Photos into Your Wedding

When it comes to weddings, there are never enough photos. And as much as you are looking forward to seeing your professional wedding photos, why not let your guests get in on the action too?

Polaroid photos are a fun way to capture memories on your special day and not just of the people that attended either. 

Here are some fun ideas that you can use.

  • Create a guest book. The first option is to purchase a nice guest book that people can use to write a message and add their polaroid picture. You could even ask for some advice from each attendee instead of just a general message. 
  • Hang them up. Don’t really need guests to leave you a message? Get everyone to take photos and hang them along some string that you can setup like a clothesline. Don’t forget to add some fairy lights to give it a fun and romantic mood.
  • Create a photo wall. If you have a wall at your reception that could use a bit of flare, use this for your polaroid pictures instead. Just make sure that guests have a way to attach the photos to the wall without them falling down.
  • Let them take a photo home. The final option is to just let your guests take their photos home with them. You could even provide them with a sweet frame or stand. 

Bonus Tips

Here are some extra tips to ensure this idea works well on the day:

  • Have multiple cameras available.
  • If guests will be adding photos and messages to a book, provide enough stationary.
  • Create a separate photo station so that guests have enough space to enjoy the activity.
  • Provide guests with instructions so that they know what you expect of them.
  • Encourage guests to capture sweet moments that your photographer might miss. 

If you will be keeping these guest photos for yourself, don’t forget to store them in a safe place after your big day.
