I thought I’d do an update on this question following a lively chat I had with a customer during the week. Our standard instant photo guest book packages hold 30 photos and are suitable for up to 75 guests. If that seems strange, we know from experience that most people will complete the book in pairs or small groups of three or four. You can take a look at my wedding guest book to see how this worked in real-life – we had 70 guests.
The package includes Fuji instant camera (or camera hire), guest book and 40 shots of film. This is 10 more than you need for the book, but gives you some extras for ‘re-do’s etc.
For 75 – 150 guests
We recommend upgrading to our ‘package 2′. This gives you 2 guest books (holding 60 photos in total), plus camera or camera hire and 80 shots of film. This gives you 20 spare shots of film – 10 per book.
For 150 – 225 guests
Package 3 is the one you’ll need, containing 3 guest books (holding 90 photos in total), plus camera or camera hire and 120 shots of film in total. Again, this will provide you with 30 spare shots of film.
Why do the books only hold 30 photos? Don’t they come in a larger size?
Logistically it’s much quicker and easier to have multiple books which can all be completed at the same time. If you can imagine most people take 5 minutes to have their picture taken and then write something, completing one guest book with 30 photos will take about 2 1/2 hours….but doing two concurrently would take 5 hours! You can always use one of our slipcases to give you the ‘look’ of one book on your bookshelf.

Wedding season is well and truly upon us, with the majority of weddings taking place between now and mid-September. We thought it might be timely to share our checklist for the period shortly before your wedding, 1 month and 1 week beforehand.
1 month before
- Arrange the final fitting of your wedding dress.
- Have the hen and stag do (preferably 10 days ahead of time to allow for any bruises to fade!)
- Finalise your seating plan and provide to whoever is creating your table plan for you (or make it yourself). This also needs to be passed to the caterer.
- Prepare table placenames and pass to stationer to prepare.
- Arrange a date for your wedding rehearsal, if necessary.
- Contact any guests who haven’t replied to your invitation (rude people!)
- Organise a date to collect the wedding party outfits.
- Write the wedding speeches for the groom, best man and father of the bride. Doing it well in advance gives you a little time to practice and get over any nerves.
- If it isn’t giving anything away, wear-in your wedding shoes so you’re comfortable on your big day.
- Reconfirm arrangements for:
- your reception venue.
- the caterer.
- the florist.
- the photographer.
- any wedding transport.
- your entertainment.
- your honeymoon.
- If you haven’t already done so, it’s not too late to sort out your photo guest book…
7 Days before
- Have your wedding rehearsal.
- Run through the order of the day with everyone involved. Give the best man a list of contact details for everyone involved in your big day and ensure that they have his number also
- Prepare your emergency brides handbag containing: makeup, tissues, paracetamol, blister plasters and cooling leg spray. Chance are you won’t need all of this, but better to be prepared!
- Give your ‘order of service’ sheets to the minister.
- Pack for your honeymoon. Most importantly put your passports and tickets in a safe place alongside your suitcases – you can replace anything else you might forget
- Order any foreign currency you’ll need.
- And remember, it’s STILL not too late to arrange your instant photo guest book as we can have a package with you in 48 hours!
Next week, we’ll update you with your final checklist for the day before and the big day itself!
