Has anyone had polaroid style prints done before? I'm looking to put together a collage for my 10th wedding anniversary in September and thought Polaroid style prints would look pretty cool.

I've see Photobox do them, but not sure on the quality: http://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/prints/polaroid-style-prints

Anyone know anything about the photobox option, or any other suggestions?
 
They arrived the other day - got to same that I'm impressed! A good novelty type product.
They're on decent thickness paper and look like they're real polaroid paper (i.e. only the square picture bit is photo paper and it has the black section on the back). It's a nice touch that you can get text printed in handwriting script below the photo. I'll try to get some photos of them in case anyone is interested.
 
I can create Polaroid style photos using whatever graphic application software I have. I used CorelDRAW and created a Polaroid style print, then to give it a more realism Polaroid feel, I did old fashion graphic design manual work, with papers, scissors, glue, and turned the printed-out Polaroid into one that do feel like it really came from a Polaroid camera. No need to pay a company to make them for me, I can do it all by myself.

While my own Polaroid prints would never pass, to my friends and anyone else, it's actually very good enough for them. They remember Polaroid prints, but it's like dozen and dozen of years since they last used Polaroid, so it would not bother them if they can't remember what a real Polaroid print feels like.

A couple of (very noisy) phone photos of the prints - I really like them, as does every one else who has seen them.
They're a nice and interesting way of printing pics. I did a collage of 50-60 of them, so for me it wasn't practical to try and print or create anything myself.
