Gimme Photos and more Photos

I had mentioned that I wanted to put photo cards on the tables so that the guests could upload their own wedding photos. After much debate I decided to go with Flickr. Simply because you could upload the pictures directly - no need to download a program. I designed a folded card which I placed on each table. They were bilingual (French & English) with a message on one side and the instruction on the other.

In my last post, many of yous mentioned that you were interested in knowing what I was going to write on my cards...Well I am happy to share it with yous.

Because I knew many of my friends were going to take pictures and they would all be over 1 MB each, I investing in the Flickr Pro account, for just $24.95 (U.S.) per year. I did a great thing because the free account only allows for 100 MB of images and as of now, I have over 500 pictures from my guest and more are to come.

Here are some of my many pictures taken by my family and friends:

Our beautiful church


Exchanging vows


Partying away


Our first dance

If your debating whether or not you should do this... I say yes all the way. Its a 24.95$ well invested, especially when you were disappointed with your photographer. (more to come on that) Did you have photo cards? Was it worth it for you as it was for me?
