Camera at Table Question

I want to get cameras, but I wasn't sure if the 27 exposure at teach table would be too much. I found 27 exp Kodak cameras for 4.33 and the 15 exposure was 4.99. I just don't want to waste the film.

I would go with the 15 exposure. I had the 27 exposure and I found that only about 10-15 pictures were taken on each camera.

I'M SORRY!!! I just re-read your post. If the 27 exposures are cheaper, go for it. You won't have to pay for the pictures that aren't used.

27 pictures is a lot but I would probably go for it anyway. You could ask some of your guests to go nuts taking pictures of people at their tables and of each other dancing. These are the pictures your photographer may not get.

Then you can always finish up the cameras on your HM or shortly afterwards. If you send the cameras to shutterfly - you pay a flat rate for developing each camera and only have to print the pictures you want.

I would go for what is cheaper! I agree with what Christine said - if they don't get finished bring them on your honeymoon and for all your after wedding events! I finished mine on my honeymoon! Also, bargain with those one hour stores - when they see you walk in with tha huge bag of table cameras - they are not going to want to lose the sale. I am not a bargainer by nature either! but DH and went to one and said what can you do for us and the quickly went down in price - if I said I would wait for 2 hours instead of 1. Got my pictures relatively quick and cheap!

I would say most of my 27 exposure cameras did get finished though or mostly finished.

Go to Costco or BJ's i think it was and they have a pack of four at an amazing price. I think it was like 12 each pack. But don't quote me on that because it was about 9 motnhs ago. THey have the specific wedding cameras that have pretty flowers on them. I think it is a great diea, but have the DJ make an announcement that they are there and what to do with tehm because some of the people at the weding didn't knwow hat to do with them. Also make sure they know not to take them home. My poor Fiance's sister had like half her cameras taken from the wedding.

id say get 27 exposure, you only pay for what pictures are developed, and you can use the extras on your honeymoon...... or the housewarming party?

We had 27 exposure cameras on each table and they all were completely finished by the end of the night. I was really surprised that people took so may pictures.
