Photo scavenger hunt

Wait.. I think its a cute idea but instead off the guests dancing and having fun they will be on scavenger hunts for THAT many things?

LOL

No..not that many things. One each camera I am going to put about 5 or 6 different pictures for them to take. It is really just a nice ice breakers for tables and also it is to try and prevent you getting the same pictures on each table camera. People tend to take the same pictures these cameras from what I hear. Cake cutting, first dance, father/daughter dance, etc. this way you can try to get them to capture different things!!

Richsbride did
Scan for posts be her - she got great ones.

BTW - each table ony gets asked to find about 3 - 5 pictures

Richsbride did this, and I am not decided on how I will do mine
She listed the concept on a folded card, like a tent, and placed the card beside the camera. You might find it in a search with her name

I may toy small preprinted cards to the camera - if there is somewhere to tie the card too

Here's whart Richsbride posted to me in a forum

Re: scavenger hunt

Sure, we used tent cards & we about 8 things for each table. My MOH forgot to collect the tent cards at the end so I'm not sure who got the most but people tried! I know it gives them something to do!
I should have had someone go our to each table & coach them a bit-2 cameras were unused, but I'm thrilled with what I got!

I did it. I had such a hard time deciding how to attach the sayings. There are many ways you can attach them but none seemed to work for me. Many people told me to make laminated cards and poke a hole in the cardboard and attach with ribbon. I couldn't do that because I used Kodak cameras and they weren't in the heavy cardboard. Other people suggested using table tents or labels.

I would up buying these small bags (the color of my BM dresses) and attaching them to the bag with pretty ribbon.

Not all tables did the scavenger hunt but those that did gave me some funny and unique pictures. I have the staff in the kitchen, men in the ladies room, woman in the mens room (my mom and aunt posed for this one-too funny), most pregnant guest, tattoo, the photographer, centerpiece pictures, guest under the table (hysterical), groom's parents kissing, brides parents kissing. I put about six items on each camera and on every camera I put picture of everyone at the table (so I new used the camera), 4 nice things and one funny thing. Also put a message on how to use the flash.

So many people did not use the flash and missed great shots. You may want to include something about not to take things from too far away. All of those shots stink esp with the darkness of the hall! Close up pictures came much better.

PS I did get a ton of pictures of cutting the cake, the garter and the parent dances but the unique shots made my table cameras worth it. Also, we saw lots of things going on in teh backgrounds that we missed!

A long time ago people posted poems or sayings they used. I have them saved at home (I think). Tell me if you want them and I can post them tonight.

bride to be

could you also please forum me the note you attached to the bags - I think its a great idea
Thanks

Ok..here it goes....Here is what I put and for every table I changed the last five items. Each camera had something different.

Here’s your camera for the night, so look around
Hunt for those pictures that need to be found!
Shoot away and complete the list,
Add any more that we may have missed
Snap away as best you’re able
Then leave the camera on your table.

Your tasks:
Group photo of everyone at your table
Biggest Smile
Bride and Groom when no one is looking
Close up of decorations
Who’s Hair may be Fake?
Cutest Older Couple


For great pictures, please press and hold the
flash button on the front of the camera until
flash ready light comes on!!

Here is something I copied a long time ago from this site or from UW...can't remember..I didn't use this though....it's someone's hard work

Table Cameras
Poem:
We have planned a little fun for you,
And seeing the results will be fun, too!
Who was the messiest when eating the cake?
Try to catch somebody on a smoking break!
How about a picture of a couple that’s kissing
Now find somebody else whose shoes seem to be missing.
Take a picture of Cindy smiling at her groom
As he talks to someone across the room.
Pass the camera around so everyone has fun
And leave it on the table when the evening is done.
Thank you for helping us to obtain
The pictures that will help the memories remain.

Try to catch someone in middle of a sneeze,
Get the someone who talks with ease.
Take a picture of someone under the most stress.
Then get one the worsted dressed.
