Occasions · Engagement parties
Just engaged? Pass the camera.
The first party of the whole thing, and often the first time both families share a room. Put instant cameras out, let everyone tape in a print and a note, and start the album before the wedding planning does.

How it plays out at the party.
One person opens the box. The guests do the rest.
Prints at the door
Instant cameras by the entrance, next to the guest book. Every guest takes a print with the two of you.
Advice in the book
Next to each print, guests write one line: advice, a prediction or the story of how they know you.
A camera by the mic
Keep one camera near whoever is speaking. The reactions are the best part.
Back in the box
Pack it up, stick on the prepaid label and drop it off within 72 hours.
Ideas for the first party.
Small touches that make the book worth keeping.
The how-we-met wall
Clip prints to a line under one question: how do you know them? Plus comes with a print display line, Deluxe with a display wall kit.
Bring the book back
Put the engagement-party guest book out again at the wedding welcome table. Guests love finding their own print.
A ring shot from everyone
Let every guest take one close-up of the ring. You’ll end up with a stack of them, each one slightly off-center.
Pick your Polaroid tier.
A good rule of thumb is one instant print per guest, plus a few for the two of you.
