I plan to only do one per table also.

I think that one is enough. We only did cameras on the 'younger' tables and we have a ton of really dumb pictures from them. Like extreme close -ups of peoples faces and stuff like that. So in my opinion if you put more than one on each table, you'll just get double the amount of annoying pictures. :) But to make you feel better, we did get some nice pictures from the disposables as well.

Would anyone suggest getting some black and white cameras for the tables?? Or just leave that to the photographer?

I plan on doing 1 per table and mixing color and black&white.

I did what Dani did, I think more than one per table either the other wouldn't get used, or people would just start taking stupid pictures. We put 10 black and whites and 10 colors out for 20 tables ( I picked which table I wanted to have what, don't ask me how....)

I would have done b/w and color if I knew about b/w ones (it never occurred to me )

One per table is enough. You dont want to end up with a lot of unfinished cameras. you could also ask a couple of people to go around and finish up the film. Someone did this for us and it was great!

Where did you get B&W cameras? I have never seen them but would love to have them.

To be very honest sometimes guests do not use these camera and you end up with a bunch of 1/2 used ones. One per table is more than enough. If you like color and B&W- do some tables w/color, some w/B&W.

I ordered more cameras than we needed. we had maybe 4 too many...so what I did was out them on tables where I knew people would be taking pictures...like my BM's tables...my cousins tables. It was a good move because we got some fantastic pictures!! The cameras were wonderful. I just wish I could remember where I bought them from. After reading about everyone having problems with their cameras, I would be please to give the website where i purchased ours.

Good Luck

PS...we also had some cameras that had pictures left...we took them on our honeymoon with us ti finish up the rolls

I hope so - 1 per table is expensive enough



edit - we are going to get a couple of BW cameras too

Just FYI: B&W developing is expensive and not done very well in most places so you may want to consider that.

We had one camera per table...at the end of the night, Luke went around and started snapping photos with the cameras that were not finished. If he hadnt done this we would have ended up with a lot of half used cameras.

Like Stef said we had a bunch half used as well and my brother went around and snapped some pics, smart idea to have someone designated to do this and not at the very end of the night so you still get fun, dancing, etc. pics. I used one per table too. I got great table pics by the way, I was so happy with that.

One is enough, it could get costly.
