Opinions wanted!!!

Ok, so FI and I have fallen in love with the idea of doing 'I Spy' at each table. We will leave each table with a camera, which I will decorate up with their table number, and the list of picture to take for the game... here is where I need your opinions. Help me narrow down the pictures! Of the following options that FI and I came up with, what are your top 5 favourites:

- Group photo of everyone at your table
- Photo of each family or couple at your table
- Bride & Groom holding hands
- Bride & Groom first dance
- Someone making a toast
- Best dancer (in action)
- Bride & Groom kissing
- Cutest couple dancing (not the Bride & Groom)
- Favourite decoration
- Man of Honour and the Bridesmaids
- Best Man and the Groomsmen
- People having a laugh
- People dancing
- Photographer taking pictures
- Biggest smile
- Bride & Groom talking to a guest
- The cake
- Group of friends with the Bride & Groom
- The Bride's dress
- The DJ
- The bouquet toss
- The garter toss

And.... GO! lol

    I love the Bride & Groom holding hands... I know the photographer is going to take plenty of us, but I have a feeling this could result in something absolutely adorable :)

    Ok, so it's 8, but I chose these because they are a) open to interpretation (meaning each table may get a totally different shot with completely different people in it) and b) they aren't things you'll necessarily be getting photos of already.

    Anyone with a camera - including your hired photographer - is going to take photos of you and h holding hands, kissing, photos of the dress, the cake, your first dance, etc.  You want, I'm assuming, a wider variety of photos with these cameras, so I'd use the 8 above to help facilitate that.

    Great idea!!! I can't imagine what kinds of pictures you're going to get back from guests...

    It's 6, but it was hard to narrow it down. You will have a million pics of your dress, cake, etc from the photographer (as DramaGeek said). These are more candid and showcase all different people at your wedding. I love this idea!

    Thanks everyone. I also want to think of what ones can be interpretated to be different photos as opposed to all the same, as I am printing them on VP and so I can't put different lists at different tables. I think some of them like Best Smile, or People having a laugh are going to turn up some TOTALLY different photos :)

    Ok, so went through, and definitely took everything everyone had to say into consideration! Those that pointed out that the photographers are going to get some of these photos already are so right, why double up what we're paying them to get! So I chose some that I think will change it up, still includes a few Bride & Groom type photos (as I know that our guests will want that) and leaves a lof of room for interpretation. Here's what FI and I have narrowed it down to at this point. What do you think?

    1.       Group photo of everyone at your table

    2.       Photo of each family or couple at your table (I figure we can include these with the thank you cards as not every family gets the time for a nice dressed up photo together)

    3.       Bride & Groom holding hands

    4.       Best dancer (in action)

    5.       Cutest couple dancing (not the Bride & Groom)

    6.       Favourite decoration

    7.       People having a laugh

    8.       Bride & Groom talking to a guest

    9.       People dancing

    10.   Photographer taking pictures (FI went to highschool with our Photog so this is important to him as its more than just a vendor)

    11.   Biggest Smile

    12.   Bride & Groom with a group of friends
