Poems to go with disposable cameras at a wedding reception
(JenniferCMC-FL)
Note: I don't even think disposable cameras are made anymore but you could adapt the poem to ask people to take pictures with their camera and share them with you. You could even open a sharing site to make it easier.
I'm your camera--so have some fun,
You'll make this album a special one!
Snap away as best you're able,
Then leave me off at the guest table!
Take this camera and have some fun.
Get some pictures of everyone!
Maybe you'll see something we didn't see.
That we can keep as a memory!
The bride and groom have a request
So put on a big smile and look your best.
When you see some fun--take a hint!
You snap the camera and we'll make the print.
