How to Use Wedding Cameras On Tables

The wedding plans are coming along smoothly. The bride and groom have decided they would like to place disposable wedding cameras on the tables at their reception. Where can you buy them in bulk? How do you let the guests know about using these cameras? What do you do with them after the wedding reception?

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Wedding Cameras
• Card stock
• Permanent ink markers or computer with printer
• Clear tape

1. Select the style of disposable cameras to fit the wedding. These cameras come in a variety of designs. One source of cameras, Weddings Center (see link in Resources), has cameras decorated with rhinestones, hearts, bells, flowers and much more.

2. Purchase enough cameras for each table at the reception. The amount per table depends upon how many people will be seated at each table. If there isn't going to a sit down meal, purchase enough cameras to place around the reception location. It’s a good idea to purchase extra, in case something happens to one of the cameras.

3. Use the card stock to make signs to place next to the cameras, in the event that the purchased camera do not already come with explanation cards. These cards can be the folding kind that stand alone or a flat card to place under the camera. You can write the instructions by hand or create the design on a computer and print them. On the cards, instruct the guests to use these cameras to take pictures of the reception and to leave them on the table when finished.

4. Place the wedding cameras on each table or around the reception location. Set the cards either next to or under the cameras, depending on the card style. If the reception is outside, it might be a good idea to tape the note to the tablecloth, to keep it from blowing off. Keep the extra cameras handy, in case a camera is accidentally knocked off the table or dropped in the punch bowl.

5. Arrange for someone to pick up the cameras after the reception is over. Tell them where to have them taken for developing, or where to drop them off until the newlyweds return home from their honeymoon.
