Pictures are an intrinsic part of any wedding. Newly married couple are normally over the moon to get their photographs back from the photographer so they can live over special occasion. But there are many special pursuits you can construct into a wedding ceremony that involve photographs.

Cheap Wedding Ideas

One fun idea that many brides employ is to take photographs of everybody as they arrive at the wedding, almost like you do at a high school prom or company christmas party. You can supply a background and husbands and wives can pose either for a paid photographer or for anyone that happens to collect the camera. These photos can be taken with a Polaroid camera for instant fun or with a disposable camera. If you prefer slightly higher quality photographs, opt for a camera.

This can be an excellent way to keep guests busy and amused until the "official" reception starts with the appearance of the the happy couple.

As an extension of that idea, you can take quick photographs and create scrapbook pages or memory book pages with the pictures. There can be supplies on hand so guests can put together pages on site, or pages can be mass produced and photos simply placed into the prepared spaces. If guests don't want to create pages on site, or the bride does not want this particular activity going on, the pictures can be put away for some other time. As a gift for the bride and groom, somebody could create memory books with these photographs.

While it's not an especially unique idea, many brides like to give disposable cameras on every table at the reception dinner so guests can capture candid shots of the reception and the table guests. These photos can be put into the newlyweds' wedding book or they can be placed into a separate album showing the marriage ceremony from the guests view.
