Disposable Camera Scavenger Hunt

A lot of people have opted to put disposable cameras on their reception tables in hopes of having their guests catch a few memorable candid moments. I took that idea a little further... I had a scavenger hunt! This way I could tell my guests exactly what moments I wanted captured on film, I also didn't have to buy 20 cameras, I only got 8 (this also kept down the developing costs) and asked people to pair up if they were willing to join in on the hunt.

I made bags that contained the camera, list of moments to find, a couple of ring pops, a pen, and some other party favors. I was extremely happy with the results, we got so many wonderful and meaningful photos. Where as table cameras usually end up with pictures of forks, or people just sitting around the table... I did have a point system set up, and there was supposed to be a prize giveaway which didn't work out as planned (due to people leaving early etc), but it didn't deter people from having fun taking the pics!

Just wondering how you kept track of points since you can't really see which pictures guests have taken til you have them developed....

Someone needs to make a "page" where it gives you a big list of things to find in a scavenger hunt - creative ones, and specifically one for the mall. That would be great.

We had a bride do this and it worked great, but they used our site and instead of disposables they asked everyone to use their own digital cameras. Once the photos were uploaded then everyone got to see the photos and rate and comment on them and then they gave a funny prize to the guests with the best shots.

It really kept the party going for a week after the reception.

Sharon Naylor, Author of over 30 wedding books, posted an article for us at our site. Its a very extensive list and a great reference point to hand to create a "list of photos you want" You could do the scavenger hunt idea, do photo upload cards, or create them for every event including bridal showers, etc.

This idea is not just about the wedding and reception this can start from your first event! Have fun with it and use your friends digital cameras.

My camera club has just held our first scavenger hunt. We had a list of "fall" items to look for. I found it quite interesting because I was constantly looking for things to photograph and found unusual things to fit the theme i.e.

something hard turned into a picture of a calculus book since I feel it is a hard subject. You can find yourself looking at common things in a very uncommon way. New perspective of the every day world.
