Thoughts on those disposable wedding cameras that capture the fun moments

Disposable cameras at your wedding reception?  They are quite the rage and once your guests warm up to the idea of snapping a few photos; you can land up with some amazing memories, for better or worse.  :)

We've been receiving emails and inquire, and even samples from a few companies, so I thought I'd mention a couple.  Also, if you have ideas to share with other brides and grooms on how you used disposable cameras at your reception, we'd love to hear from you.

Kodak has a nice, durable and dare I say attractive single use camera.  They sent me one and I have to admit that it is almost too nice to use.  I have a good friend having a milestone birthday and plan to snap a few photos with it.  I know, it is a wedding camera not a birthday camera.  Whatever.  http://www.kodak.com/go/SingleUseCamera/.

Being conscious of the health and well-being of Mother Earth, I like the idea of having disposable cameras that well, aren't disposable.  Huh?  What about having digital cameras that take stills and videos, and being able to be "green"?!  I really like that idea, so I have to give kudos to very interesting and compelling company called, appropriately, CameraRenter.com.  http://www.camerarenter.com/weddings.php.  Not only are they earth-friendly, but you also get a DVD and your own website with the photos.  Everyone wins!  Check 'em out, and tell Jonathan that WedNet sent you.

Until next time...smile, click.
Planning together...

Ladies, this one is for you….

Every little girl dreams of her wedding day and knows pretty much exactly what she wants and does not want.  However, the saying “the wedding day is the Bride’s day” is out the window nowadays.  Most grooms want to be involved in the planning too.  It is important for both the bride and groom to plan the wedding.  Your groom doesn’t want to feel like a guest at his own wedding, nor do you want him to feel that way.  You should share in the excitement of planning together.  It is a good way to dream together and pursue what each other has envisioned.  Compromises might even have to be made on some issues.

Not only will this be fun for both you and the groom, but also it is important for both of you to share the responsibilities of the actual planning.  Budget, venue location, menu selections, guest list, writing thank you cards for gifts are just a few items that should be shared during the planning of your wedding. You plan to share a life together and in that relationship, you will need to work together, share responsibilities and yield to one another’s likes and dislikes.  You may come across some disagreements but try to make this as enjoyable as possible.  This is your and his wedding day after all!
