If you plan on putting disposable cameras on the tables

Make sure people know to USE THE FLASH!!!!!!!!


SO MANY of my table camera pictures didnt come out bc people didnt use the flash!!!

I didnt think I would need to specify this, but Ive learned not to underestimate the stupidity of some people.

Don't they have automatic flash disposable cameras? That's what I am hoping to get.

We made up little cards that said:

Here is a camera. Please use it a lot.
Take pictures of, what the photographer will not.

The flash is required, because it is night.
If you don't use it, the snaps won't come out right.

Hold the front switch over, til the little light flutters.
You're all ready now!!
So please press the shutter.

The perfect distance is four to ten feet.
Any nearer or farther, will be your defeat.

At the end of the evening, with all film exposed,
Leave the camera on the table, with all the memories it holds.

We put the little cards right next to the camera. We also had the kids remind people at the tables to use the flash. We actually had a kids table and we gave each kid their own camera. Some people listened and thankfully we got great pics from the table cameras, some of my favorites, some were dark, but I worked with the guy at the photo place and he lightened some up for me!!

Ok what I did was use a TRI FOLD PROGRAM and placed on each table with the camera and ALL of the camera pictures came out GREAT and ALL had flash on- small cards people miss so I went to office max bought a trifold program- on the first page with the double hearts it says:Talbe Camera Instructions then our names and date and on the inside :

See this camera sitting here-Its for your use, we say

To help us capture memories

On this, our wedding day!

Share the camera among the guests.

Some candid shots please take.

Then leave the camera when youre done.

An album we will make.

Youve helped to make our special day

Complete with love and laughter.

Thank you all so very much

For the memories you did capture!!

Please turn on the FLASH!!!!

the font was in 14 and bold so you cant miss it- even for those that need magnify glasses ( the elderly)

The hall put them on each table along with the camera! No problems at all!

Same thing happened with us. The majority of the pictures were dark.
