Place a disposable wedding camera on each table at the reception so that your guests can capture the candid shots that your professional photographer may miss.

Have your DJ make an announcement about the cameras, encouraging your guests to use them and reminding them to use the flash.

Encourage guests to take pictures of people at their table and other happenings that the wedding couple might miss, rather than the big events that the photographer will be covering.

For a buffet-style or casual reception, choose a few trusted friends to take pictures with the cameras.

Buy extra cameras to give as favors to special children such as the flower girl and ringbearer. The children will love having their own cameras to use and you won't end up paying for unwanted pictures on your other table cameras.

Plan a "photo scavenger hunt". At each reception table, have a list of pictures to be taken: group shot, best dancer, a toast, an engaged couple, youngest guest, etc. This is an entertaining game for your guests and provides you with a variety of fun photos.

Collect the wedding cameras before the close of the reception, to avoid missing or stolen cameras.

Cameras with a few unused shots can be used on your honeymoon or on gift-opening day.

When you develop the pictures, get doubles. Choose an appropriate photo to include in each of your guests' thank you notes.
