Wedding Reception Forum

Would this be a good idea?

Here's my idea: have a professional photographer friend take pictures of each couple/family/friend at our reception during the cocktail hour and send each person the picture with their thank you card. My friend is already covering part of the wedding (I only could afford a professional wedding photographer for three hours, so she's covering what they won't be around for) and I thought each couple would like to have a picture of themselves all dressed up. I wanted to do a photobooth but my venue doesn't allow it, so I thought this would be nice. Any thoughts?

  • I think this is an awesome idea. I see go for it :)

  • Agreed!  Awesome idea and very thoughtful too :)

     

  • That would definitely be a good idea!

  • I love this idea! So thoughtful!
  • I was thinking of doing the same thing, but instead of a pro, having the disposable cameras at the table and sending guests copies of the pics they're in.  I like your idea wayyyyy better though!

    Disposable camera are a waste of money.  The quality is bad and they cost a lot to develop.

    OP- I think it's an awesome idea but a few things to consider. 1) Cost- how much will prints cost and 2) How are you going to make sure each person had their picture taken.

    Love the idea.  My friend did the same thing, and we got our picture at the end of the night as our favor.  Everyone loved it, I still have our pic in my living room.
