Photo Guest Book

A guest book at your Wedding or Bridal Shower is a must. Capture the magic of your special day by entertaining your guests with an Instax photo guest book.

Photo Wedding Bridal Shower Guest Book with Fuji Instax | Kara's Party Ideas | Kara Allen 1
With Fujifilm’s INSTAX Mini 70 Instant Camera, setting up your “photo booth” guest book will be a breeze. Have an area prepped with a guest book table. Decorate the table to draw the eye, and make or print a sign with instructions on how your guest book works.
I used a sign that read, “Build memories. Please sign our guest book with your photo.”  You can have someone standing by the table ready to help with the guest book, and they can take the photos of the guests as they come into the venue, and then direct them to your guest book where they will attach their photo to the book and write messages of love along with their names. This way you will be able to capture a photo of each of your guests!

Having an Instax camera on your special day will also allow you to capture photos anytime and anywhere! It’s so easy to carry and fits in your purse. You can literally capture the perfect photo every time.

    Where do you recommend looking for a guestbook that works well with instax camera photos? I’m trying to find one that will fit all of our 125 guests (most photos taken as couples, likely) and does not have words on the inside (e.g. name header for a line). I would actually prefer blank pages and not sleeved pages like a scrapbook.
