How can I use a Polaroid camera at a wedding?

There's a ton of ways to incorporate Polaroid photos at your wedding. Here are some of our favorites:

Create a Polaroid guestbook
Set up your own Polaroid photo booth
Send out instant photos as wedding invitations
Send out your Polaroid photos as thank you cards after the wedding
Use a Polaroid photo as a place marker that guests can take away after the event
Use two Polaroid photos of the couple as a cake topper

And of course, you can always hand the camera off to one of your most trusted allies, or simply just drop it on a table and let the guests do their thing.

So, how many film packs should you buy for your wedding?

Each of our instant film packs contains 8 photos (read: why only 8?). On our online shop, we offer tiered pricing on film packs, meaning the more you buy, the more you save. For your convenience, we've also created a special bundle of 12 packs—perfect for capturing every moment and ensuring everyone gets a snapshot to take home. And the best part? You’ll enjoy even greater savings with this larger bundle. Ready to stock up for the big day?

Time Considerations

Remember that orders can take a few days to arrive, so we recommend placing your order at least 2 weeks before the wedding if possible. We also recommend unboxing the camera and taking some test shots beforehand, just to make sure everything is working as it should. New Cameras are typically 40% charged when they arrive to you, so charging it up before your big day is a good idea.

Event Considerations

Our event cameras are easy to use and produce consistently good results with minimal skill, so handing the camera to a friend or leaving it on a table and letting the guests do their thing are both good ideas. Remember, however, that Polaroid cameras and film need a lot of light, so unless your wedding is outdoor in direct sunlight, we recommend shooting with flash.
