Help with wording

Hi all!

I need your help! I am so bad with poems, and writing so I'm looking for some experts. 

In lieu of a traditional favor, we are having a photo booth. Anyone have any ideas on what to put on the table inviting our guests to use it in lieu of a traditional favor?  I am doing tent cards - one side will have a photo of my Aunt who has Alzheimer's and letting the guests know that we donated to the Alz Assoc. in honor of her, and the other side will be to tell them to use our photo both.

Any help is appreciated!! thanks!

    First, have you read the sticky at the top of the page about donating in lieu of favors?  Your situation doesn't sound exactly the same b/c you're not exactly donating INSTEAD of givng favors, but my feelings on it are the same as far as the "no need to mention it at your wedding" part. Whenever you tell people you donated, it's like you're seeking attention or a pat on the back for it. Go ahead and donate; that's awesome. There's just no need to tell your wedding guests you did so. 

    I don't think you need to tell people the photo booth is in lieu of favors, either. Just let them know there IS a photo booth. Maybe on the table cards, say something like, "Make a memory in the photo booth before you leave tonight!" or "A picture is worth a thousand words, so write a story in our photo booth before you go!" 

    Hope that helps....good luck!

    For her photobooth, my daughter made 2 5x7 signs that were placed on the escort table.  One "announced" the photobooth and said, "Give us your best shot".  The other sign said, "Keep one set of photos for yourself and add the other to our guestbook along with a personal message".

    Thank you both.  The reason I am "announcing it" is not for the pat on the back, but because my Aunt can't be with us because she is already in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and is only 59 years old.  I want to put a picture of her on the tables with a little blurb about her.  I actually think I am going to get magnet frames for each place setting and stick a note in there telling them to use the photo booth.
