Oh Mother

I spent the better part of the afternoon talking to my mom about wedding stuff.  I told her that I felt bad that I didn't ask my FSIL to be a BM.  She suggested I give her a job, like "guest book attendant".

She then looked at wedding favor websites and saw those disposible cameras they are marketing towards brides and said "Ooh we have to get a bunch of those".

You might want to consider getting some disposable cameras.  Some of my favorite shots are from those and a lot of guests were running around having a great time.

I know you know this, but do not have a guest book attendant.


My mom threw a fit when I said I wasn't having a guest book attendant. I told her that it wasn't an honor and she argued about how her brother made her his guest book attendant at his wedding....and I tried to politely tell her that they gave it to her because he didn't feel too bad about giving his little sister a shiit job....

Instead of disposables, check out http://www.myphotofest.com. They'll rent out digital cameras and memory cards for a full week, insurance and shipping included in the cost, and they'll upload and host the pictures too.  I think I'm just going to encourage everyone to bring their own cameras, but we're still considering renting a couple to have on the tables.  It's way cheaper than disposables, and more environmentally friendly, too.

ETA: Oops, I forgot that initial shipping isn't included.  I think return shipping is, though.

We just did photoshare cards and got hundreds of photos from guests that way.

Please don't make anyone a guestbook attendant....except those who suggest that it would be a great job for someone else.  :-)


Photo sharing is IMO the way to go.

Oh, and for the record, my mom also thought I'd be getting those disposable cameras for the tables.  She's a technophobe and still living a few years behind the rest of the world, so it's what she thought of as a good idea... and when my sister got married in 2003, it WAS a good idea!  She got over it quickly.
