Tips for Using Disposable Cameras at Weddings

If you have ever seen an episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos," you know that humor happens on the wedding scene. However, the frazzled photographer who is busy taking shots of the happy couple may not notice the flower girl doing her own happy dance in the corner or the ring bearer sneaking a finger full of cake frosting. For these Kodak moments, you can utilize the help of wedding guests, and a few well placed disposable cameras to capture the memories.

Variety

Disposable cameras used to be restricted to the green or orange cases that didn't add much aesthetic quality to the wedding décor. However, the popularity of disposable cameras at weddings has prompted some manufacturers to produce cameras that will coordinate beautifully with any wedding theme. There are a variety of cameras covered in roses of all hues, or couples can opt for a simple silver heart or bells to commemorate the day. Some wedding coordinators may opt for solid silver or gold cameras that will add a classy touch to reception tables, while those who like a bit more bling will appreciate the rhinestone-studded selections at some retailers. Many of these styles also come in an array of colors that allows the couple to coordinate cameras to the rest of the reception décor.

How to Use

Many couples find that the easiest way to add disposable cameras to the special day is to set them on the reception tables. This allows guests to take photos throughout the reception time, which is when most of the activity takes place. It is a good idea to place a note next to the disposable cameras, inviting guests to snap photos throughout the event, and letting them know that the couple will handle the developing of the photos afterward. Numbering the cameras according to the table they are placed at will ensure that each one makes it back to its original location and may provide a clue as to who took the pictures. It may also encourage guests to return the cameras after use, since a few may notoriously "disappear" throughout the day.

At the end of the reception, assign a person from the wedding party to collect up all the disposable cameras or leave a basket near the exit for guests to deposit the cameras into. Once the cameras have been collected, couples can have all of the film placed onto CDs so they can scan the pictures taken and only print the keepers. This also allows the option of posting the photos to a website or sending them by email to guests, so they can print the photos they would like to keep as well.

Disposable cameras are a wonderful way to add to the fun of the celebration and provide guests with special memories to take home. If you would like to add disposable cameras to your special day, there are many online retailers that will sell cameras in bulk for just this purpose. You can save money and find the perfect camera to match the theme and color scheme of your wedding.
