The Blush Buddie will prompt the guests and let them know that one copy is for the guestbook and the other copy is for them to keep. Not everyone will put their photos in the book so if you do need extra prints just get in touch as we offer a USB and extra double strip prints for an extra charge. Please note, it is not the Blush Buddie’s responsibility to make sure everyone puts a photo in the guestbook unless you have purchased our guestbook service.
