Real Wedding Inspiration: Polariod Guest Book

Roxanne & John's wedding in Keystone was full of so many special touches, but maybe the most fun was their Polaroid guest book. Instead of taking the traditional route, Roxanne & John purchased a Polaroid PgGo Instant Mobile Printer.

When their guests came to sign the guest book they got their picture snapped in a lift chair that had been set up in the guest book station. While their photo printed, guests took a second to leave a nice note, tip, or memory on a page in the guest book, and moments later their photo was included on that page!

All we had to do was hook up the digital camera to the mobile printer, and bam! 2" x 3" borderless, color photo memories came shooting out. So much fun for guests, and a great memento for the bride and groom.

Our recommendations? Make sure you have a couple of people responsible for running your guest book station, because a little bit of time is required to keep the book looking spectacular. Also, if you're planning on having a lot of guests, it might be a good idea to have two camera/printer combos in the works to keep the flow of traffic manageable! Other than that, we're sure Roxanne & John will have a fantastic guest book to keep for many years!

Denver Post Etiquette Article

Classic Creations featured in Denver Post Wedding Etiquette Article:

Hey, wedding guests: Get it (etiquette) together, OK?
Today's bride and groom have more to worry about than a sexually explicit toast, overbearing in-laws and someone else wearing all white.

Bad guests who overshare on social media networking sites have left couples feeling exposed.

Posting photos online without permission is the biggest digital wedding gripe of brides who responded to a WeddingChannel.com poll, with 40 percent citing it. Poor behaviors run the gamut from tweeting an RSVP and doling out minute-by-minute status updates, to complaining about the food, accidentally announcing an engagement or alerting friends, co-workers and family members who weren't invited.

Come enjoy some drinks and desserts, and help welcome Wish Upon a Wedding to Denver! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the event, the organization, or how to help.

Cool Thing: Quench your thirst to unique-ify your wedding with your own soda!

Mmmm... this wedding is delicious!

Jones Soda began creating their signature, "alternative" beverages in 1987. They've built quite a following with their colorful and flavorful products, but only recently did they begin offering something unique for each of their customers.

"My Jones" lets you create your own label - giving you the ability to personalize your favorite Jones Soda flavor. This is a perfect idea for a unique favor, decorative touch, or even a welcome gift. Cheers!
