To put disposable cameras on tables or not?

I am having a very good photographer / videographer at my wedding, however, I have seen wedding themed disposable cameras, and I thought that would be adorable to get the perspective of the guests at their tables. My family and fiancee are dead set against this and think it is tacky. What do you all think?

I agree.... tacky. The last wedding I was at they had them, but no one touched them.

Yea I don't think anyone uses these anymore. It ends up being just pictures of people at that table anyway...for the most part people will use their cameras or phones for that.

you rarely get a picture you want. Or your guest steals them. I dont think its a good idea and a waste of money.

I've seen it done...I think what you really need to think about is the type of people coming to your wedding. Are they interactive people? Or are they more sit back and watch people? I don't really see people at my wedding using them other than our friends

Skip it! I agree with the posters on here. What about a photo booth? Is that in your budget?

Ive seen the cameras out on the tables with a little list for the table to complete...like 'get a picture of the flowergirl,' or 'get a pic of the bride and groom kissing'...cute stuff like that..that may be fun!

at a few of the recent weddings that we were at, they have diy business card on the table for a website(www.dotphoto.com) to upload all of the pictures that the guests take. It's great cause within 2 or 3 days there's tons of pics up of your wedding. I think this is much better then the cameras cause your getting better quality photos.

I'm not a fan. And personally with so many people have their own digital cameras it's a waste. Maybe you can set up a picture share site and have cards printed asking your guest to upload pictures to it instead.

Yes to this! I have seen this before at a wedding I attended. However, they ran into the issue that no one really uploaded their pics to the website exept for me & another person LOL If your confident your friends will upload thier pics then do it. It's all central & you can order prints from 1 location. Good luck.

Tacky. I feel like the updated version of this is the photo montage that the DJ plays.

It really depends on the type of guests you have. I don't think my friends would really use it. Everyone has cameras and smart phones so it will go on facebook anyways.

I think in this age when everyone has a camera in their phone it is a waste of money to put out disposable cameras. I like the idea of setting up a site for people to upload to though.

I set up a snapfish account where everyone could upload their pics. I put postcards on the table in front of the favor to remind guests to do this. Out of all my guests about 15 or 20 put their pics up. It was great...my FIL got a picture that I absolutely LOVE (my avatar) and I was able to get copies made for myself!

I don't like the idea of cameras on the tables...It used to be really popular. I don't think people get great pics with it, and it's more of a waste. Some don't even take pics, or you may just get 2-3 on the camera.

That's my opinion, just another added expense

Re: To put disposable cameras on tables or not?

i am planing on putting out a card that tells people to take pictures and share them with mt on my wedding turtle account... its like shutter fly for weddings.I am thinking of writing it on the inside of the place cards, or leaving out a small card on the table that says it.

Everyone has digital cameras nowadays so they can take their own pics and share them with you after.

Wouldn't do it...the quality isn't great...let everyone use their own cameras and send you the pictures

Yea we made the cards...and most ended up on fb and not the site...even after reminding people. But I got them for free on vistaprint so it was ok.
