    We left disposable cameras on the tables for our guests to take pictures.  Almost eight months after the wedding, they are still sitting in our guest room.  I expect there to be a lot of mediocre pictures and hopefully a few really good ones.  So I have a few questions:

    1. should I get double prints made or just single prints? 

    2. how hard is it to make extra prints of the good ones later?  (I haven't done anything that was on regular film in years!)

    3. Any good cheap places to get them printed?

    Thanks!

    I think I would get single prints with the CD so if there are good ones, you can have them printed again.  I usually print pictures at Walgreens, they are pretty cheap and have decent quality.

    Definitely only get single prints. My cousin did that at her wedding and there were hardly any pics worth keeping. And yes Walgreens seems to have the best prices.

    You can get them developed with just the negatives- or just a CD. You can look at the negatives/CD and decide if any of them are worth having prints made.

    Some places will also email you the pics .

    Julies- I had never heard of that.  Is it cheaper?

    My FI made a good point, which is your guest will all have digital cameras and pass the pics to you too. So, if you aren't pleased with the disposable camera pics, you've always got those! I will be just relying on their digitals.

    It should be cheaper just to get a CD instead of getting prints done.

     I second or third the idea to just get the cd.... at my (first worst mistake ever) wedding i had disposable cameras and the prints were HORRIBLE. Not one was worth keeping so it was a double waste of money when I ordered the prints.
