I bought a mini instant camera and thought it would be fun for our guest book. I am having a hard time finding a book to use though. Any suggestions? I am also wondering if I should have some sort of tape at the table or the type of book to slide the photos in.

Also any suggestions for wording on a sign at the table. A cute way to ask my guests to take their pictures and write a few words.

Thanks!

We're doing this too!  I got a guestbook room Etsy!  I made a sign copying the stuff I saw on etsy haha... it was pretty easy

 

I wrote: "Shake it like a polaroid picture" across the top then wrote "Please leave your photo and best wishes for the Mr. and Mrs." in a nice font underneath.  I'll post a pic in my planning thread soon!

 

I got washi tape to use originally but then today I went to Michaels and got photo corners. I'm thinking I'll stick them on in advance so guests just have to slide their pics into the 2 corners.  I want them to write a message too so I didn't want them to take too long figuring out how to put it in the book.  I also got some photo props and stamps that I'll put on the table

I am doing the same thing! We bought the camera, tried it out and love it. We bought props on a stick for under 5 bucks and found a book on etsy.

 

Look up  LiuMy on etsy.

 

Good luck!

I wish I had thought of it earlier. We leave in less than 2 weeks so probably Esty won't work now. Maybe if I can find a canadian seller?

 

Even with a Canadian seller you'd have to move quick!!! And they'd have to ship immediately.   I just shipped something from AB to ON and it took over a week!!!

 

Have you poked around Michaels or Walmart?

 

Another idea would be Amazon, they have that super fast shipping for free if you purchase over $25 ... if it's amazon selling it.

Yeah I wouldn't risk it at this point!  Def. check out Michaels or Walmart, or check any specialty stationary stores.  Not sure where in Canada you are but there are a couple stores in Toronto that specialize in that type of stuff

I just went and looked on Esty. One seller says she can ship in 3-7 days. Do you remember how long it took to get yours? Thanks for mentioning Esty. Maybe I'll get lucky and get one shipped out in time.

I have looked in Michael's and couldn't really find what I wanted. I will check Amazon though. Good idea!

@@Sara1603 - I think it was a couple of weeks to a month to be honest. I find a lot of stuff on Etsy takes a while b/c they often make the stuff when you order it. If the seller has it ready to ship, maybe? It'd still be a risk... but maybe you can pay for upgraded shipping and hope for the best

 

I last minute ordered a tulle ballerina skirt from Calgary a week before my Bridal shower... paid extra for express shipping because based on the guidelines I'd get it in 2 days to Toronto. Well she took 2 days to get it TO the mailbox so it arrived 2 days after my shower.  After that, I've been pretty wary about shipping things and getting them on time

Ouch! You are right. I would be pretty upset to pay extra for rush and still not get it. I'm sure if I look around I'll find something....

Maybe a scarp booking album. I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator. I have such trouble making final decisions and then wind up in rush mode. Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
