Before the actual point of this post:
How in world did women plan weddings before the internet? Almost everything I've done that's wedding-related has happened on a computer. If I met with a vendor, I found them online. If I'm working on a DIY project, I found it online. Oh, how I love Google.
Point #2 that's only kind of related to this post:
I was never a fan of message boards until I got engaged and found Wedding Book. It has given me more ideas than I can count and more support than I ever imagined. In fact, I found this gem of an idea from one of the lovely ladies of WB:
Hey! This is point!
Back to the title - will I have disposable cameras at every table? No freakin' way! While I was browsing the WB boards, I came across this.
Instead of putting a disposable at every table and being forced to print each and every dark, crappy picture (or shelling out the cash for digital disposables) do this:
1) Create a photobucket (or other photo sharing) account
2) Have cards printed (I've been told vistaprint is the way to go) that say something along the lines of:
Did you bring a camera?
Please share your photos with us!
Upload at: (photo sharing site)
Username:
Password:
Thank you for sharing your memories with us!
3) Put these at every place setting and other important places (ex. the bar)
Voila! Tons of (decent quality) pictures...and you barely spent a thing!
Here are the ones I designed on vistaprint.com (with the username and password blocked out):
Again, what would I do without the internet? :)

That's how I found out about this idea! I have a toolbar called StumbleUpon. Have you heard of it? If not, Google it (hehe) and download it now! You can preset it to give you specific sites, and you just click and click and click the button and you find sites you may like! So I stumbled on the site about the photobucket thing using that toolbar.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a related note, after I got engaged, I set my toolbar to find only wedding sites, and after a couple days, StumbleUpon told me I had viewed all the wedding pages available! I'd gone to the end of the internet! haha I can waste so much time clicking that button. Anyway, that's how I've found so many of the ideas I have!
