No more polaroids!!!

I''m planning on having a polaroid table for my wedding. Maybe I need to get on the ball and buy what i need now!http://perezhilton.com/2008-02-12-rip-45

That''s just ridiculous. Seriously?! What kind of world would we be living in if Polaroids didn''t exist? I say we petition. That''s sooooooooo sad! I wanted to have Polaroids at my wedding too. I better get shopping.

I heard about that. They''re just not making money anymore. I think the same thing might happen to film one day too.

Doesn''t polaroid film kind of go ''bad'' after awhile? I''m hesitant to buy up a bunch 9 months out from the wedding. I wish we had the budget for a photo booth.

If you buy brand new film it won''t go bad in 9 months. They have an expiration printed on each box, just make sure when you buy it that it''s after your wedding. I bought my film on Ebay since it''s pretty expensive and with 200 people taking pictures I need mass quantities. I also bought my Polaroid cameras on Ebay. It''s worth it!

You used to have to put the film in the refrigerator is that still true?

What are you using for a book to put the photos in?

Yep keep it in the fridge till the day before the wedding, here is a link to Polaroid''s website on how to store it:

For a book, I''m going to buy something like this:

This seller has tons of styles if you go to her blog, and she will make anything you want too. I like how she makes sure the pages lay flat when she makes the books. Also, I''m going to buy a bunch of those photo corner things and put them in the book before the wedding so that when people take their picture they can just stick it right in the photo corner and write a message next to it. I''ll probably make it so there are 2 on each page, diagonal from each other so that when you flip the pages the pictures don''t lay on top of each other.

Oh what a great idea!
