subject: Cheap Disposable Wedding Cameras - How Many Do I Provide And What Do I Do With Them? [print this page] Providing cheap disposable wedding cameras at your reception might not be the first thing that springs to minds when trying to organise the event. Weddings can be expensive affairs and the more lavish, the more the cost can escalate. But it is the biggest day of your life and you will want to retain the happy memories for the future.
The obvious way to retain those wonderful memories is with a photo album of the day.
For such an important event as your wedding day you should really engage the services of a professional photographer. Friends or relatives may offer their services and they may very well be a competent camera user. However, professional wedding photographers are experts at handling large groups and posing couples to get the very best results.
Now, other than the professional there will no doubt many guests wielding their own cameras to capture the special day. I believe you can never have too many photographs and that is why providing cheap disposable wedding cameras at the reception is a great idea. It is always better to have lots of photographs so giving cheap disposable cameras to your reception guests is the ideal solution.
Disposable cameras are very inexpensive to buy. Bulk disposable camera packs are often advertised because one or two dozens are required at a time. For the none technical user they could not be simpler to operate, literally, point and click. It is recommended to buy ones that incorporate a flash. They will only likely cost a small amount extra but it should be reminded that the lighting indoors will be limited and the results will be much improved.
Of course one the main dilemmas is just how many disposable cameras should you provide and how to distribute them.
The answer is really down to several factors.
1) How much are you willing to spend on them
2) How many guests are coming.
3) How are your guest tables set out.
For an easy rule of thumb, calculate about one camera per every half dozen people unless it is a big event then spread it to maybe per eight or ten people. Alternatively if you seat eight people per separate table allow one disposable camera per table. Play with the numbers until you feel happy with the amount of disposable cameras to buy, the cost and the distribution among your guests.
Some cameras packs will already have instruction cards to use with them telling guests to take advantage of the camera to grab those fun, candid shots of the event, the party fun and each other. You should also designate someone, a trusted relative, friend, best man or bridesmaid to be responsible for collecting the cameras and seeing they are sent off for processing.
Again some packs may already have processing costs included in the package or you may have to shop around for cheap bulk processing costs. Then later, have fun sifting through the photos picking out the good, the bad and the downright hilarious.
Sure it's a little more expense but you are only going to do this once so make it count with cheap disposable wedding cameras at your reception.
