Chances are many of your wedding guests will bring digital cameras to your wedding. Do you want to see the photographs taken at your wedding from the perspective from all your different guests? If so, let them know. You must make the process of your wedding guests giving you a copy of their digital photographs as easy as possible for them.

One option is to set up an email account for the sole purpose of receiving your wedding photos. Considering, digital photos can take up a lot of space, guests on limited broadband plans may not opt for this approach, and if a lot of photographs were taken. It could be time consuming approach.

You may also consider proving a black cd (or dvd) to each guest and asking them to kindly burn and send them a copy of any wedding photographs taken. If you are moving to a new address after the wedding, ensure that they will have your updated contact details.

You could leave a pile of blank cds at each table and let guests help themselves to the blank media. However, a better approach would be to ask a member of the bridal party to seek out guests who have digital cameras and kindly ask them if they could burn some images onto a blank cd to pass onto the bride and groom

Your chances of getting a burnt cd with wedding photos back to you are greatly increased if you make the process easy. Provide the guest with a self-addressed and stamped cd/dvd mailer box. They are usually less than $1.50 from post office. When providing postage on the cd mailer box, consider where it is coming from and provide adequate postage. Your local post office can help you with this.

Whether you choose to use blank cd’s or dvd’s is a personal choice, however bear in mind that blank dvd’s will hold considerably more data than blank cd’s whilst blank cd’s are cheaper. Opt for a good brand with a reputable reputation and test out one or two of their dvd’s. Bulk dvd’s generally come in packs of 25 or 50 on a spindle, so it would be a good idea to buy some dvd sleeves to protect the surface of the dvd’s. You can find these cases cheaply at a stationery or discount store in packs of 25 or 5o and 100.
