27 or so available from the disposable camera), and the
cost of each image is virtually nothing. It is also very
unlikely that anyone is going to allow their child the use it as a plaything, and there won't be too many pictures of the floor and ceiling - though you wouldn't likely care as there is no cost involved.
The question becomes how do you collect all of these photos without clogging your email with numbers of large collections of image files. What you need is a single "big pot" where you can encourage all of your guests to dump their photos for sharing with the couple and the family-at-large.
Today there are online solutions called "photo exchange
depots" (depositories). Just do an internet search and
you'll likely find one. Sometimes single-day events are
free to setup. Generally, here is how they work;
The couple establishes their event on one of the photo exchange depots, and receives a designated private "EventCode." This code uniquely identifies their event on the system, and will allow online users (anyone knowing the
EventCode) to add their photos into a big pool of event photos.
The couple informs their guests of this website and EventCode in their program, or as part of the place settings and/or table-tents at the reception. The guests all access the site (no user login usually required) and uploads all of their event photos.
Then, after the honeymoon is over, the couple and/or their family can view all of the uploaded images, and select, download, and save the pictures they wish to keep. At some point the depot expires and fades away.
This is a simple, low-cost, low-risk, and very effective way to capture possibly hundreds of additional photos from your special event.
More pictures, more memories!! Enjoy!
