I was watching Four Weddings the other day and one bride had an idea she left disposable cameras on the tables but she had que cards on the tables for the guests for ideas of what to take pictures of...example someone dancing funny, someone smiling, etc and it was a cute way to get pictures that the photographer may not get....and with out spending a whole lot of money that i don't have one a photo booth and getting a student like phototgrapher for the wedding is almost as much as a professional one...so tell me what you think...and what kind of pictures you could tell the guests to take pics of

    We thought of this idea a week before the wedding. We bought like 10 camera's only like 6 where actually used and one was all black. My friends from one table used two camera's and took crazy pictures of themselves while my mom went around taking pictures of people taking pictures with one. and another was full of my mom taking the pictures...lol

    The disposable camera thing is good in theory but not worth it IMO. My cousin had them at her wedding and half cameras had left with the guests at the end of the evening. And the ones that she did get were either blurry or off center.

    If you can get a good deal on the cameras it might be worth it. But remember, getting them developed (without the prints and on a CD) can still cost you 8 bucks a camera. I know it's about 8 dollars at CVS to just get them developed and put on a cd. Plus, they charge you per film for each cd (so it's not like you can buy 1 cd and get 10 cameras developed).

    I think in this day and age, most people who'll appreciate the photo scavenger hunt will have their own camera.

    My photographer stated that it was a bad idea. You will get 20 pictures of your first dance or cutting the cake. They have to stand a couple feet away in order for them to actually see the picture when developed. Get a photo booth instead, much better.

    DON'T DO IT!!

    the pictures don't turn out, not only are you paying for the cameras, but you have to pay for crappy pictures to be taken.

    I love this "I Spy" idea! How would you display this on the table..lay it down on the table? put it in a frame?
