By Erica Tevis It has become popular to put a disposable camera, usually the type that includes a built-in flash unit, on each table at the reception with the idea that the guests at that table will use the 27 frames of film to take photos in and around their table, and the bride and groom will develop the film and have the photos that are created to enjoy and possibly augment their wedding album. You may want to use disposable cameras on your reception tables but are unsure what to buy or what you'll receive when you go to develop them. Not to worry, we have put together a small list of things you should be aware of when purchasing and using disposable wedding cameras at your event. Flash & Film Speed: Make sure the cameras you purchase have at least 400 speed film and include a built in flash. This will ensure that the photo is captured with just the right amount of lighting. 400 speed film is all around general usage, and works well in any situation. Design: With so many choices in camera casings, you can pick something that goes with your theme, such as a beach wedding, a garden party or a rose theme. Casing: Although paper-casing cameras are usually cheaper, they are not waterproof. If someone spills a drink on them, it could result in lost pictures. Film: Black and white photos vs color. Color photos will capture all the beautiful details you worked so hard to have for your wedding (flowers, centerpieces, table linens, favors). Black and white film is typically more expensive but will give your photos a more vintage, classic feel. Recycled or Brand New? Recycled cameras are just that: recycled, previously used. They have been refilled with film and resold. As with purchasing any used product, there may be some defects. Typically the cheaper priced cameras are recycled, so you should look out for this if the prices seem to good to be true. Exposures: If you're having a longer reception, splurge and purchase 27 exposure cameras, or two 15 exposure cameras. People enjoy taking pictures - and if they run out of film too soon they may be disappointed. Quantity: After deciding on the above options, you'll need to decide on how many cameras to purchase and where they will be placed. Typically you would purchase one camera per table of guests. Some cameras come with a "Table Tent" which is a decorative card placed beside the camera on the table. The card informs your guests about the camera and how to use it. Expiration date: Although planning ahead is a wonderful thing, getting your cameras too far before your wedding is not. Cameras should be 1 to 2 years ahead of the current date. If you purchase them in advance make sure to store them away from heat, light and moisture. Photo Taking: Sometimes, it takes someone at the table to take the first shot to "get the ball rolling". Since you may be afraid that a table may not take any shots, you may want to assign this "task" to one of your bridesmaids or groomsmen. Pick someone who is outgoing and doesn't mind talking to people. Have them go to each table and take a picture or two then pass it to another guest at the table. Have your attendant make sure the table knows how to advance the film, make sure the flash is charged and advise them to make sure they leave behind the cameras. If you rather not assign this task to someone, you can advise the DJ to make an announcement to the tables to take the pictures. Collecting: You don't want to forget the cameras before you leave! Assign this to one of the wedding attendants to collect the cameras before the night's end. If you're leaving right away for your honeymoon, you can also ask a good friend (such as the maid of honor or best man) to have the cameras brought in for developing, so they will be ready to view when you return.
