MemberI would much rather have a hashtag than spend the money on a bunch of disposable cameras, but really want those candid moments throughout the evening! Problem is… I cannot for the life of me think of a fun hashtag for my wedding! Inspiration? Our last name: Simpson. Bonus points if its punny!
Thanks for the help!
MemberAnd if you’re team disposable cameras, do you have any recommendations on where to order from? TIA!
MemberI haven’t seen disposable cameras on tables since like 1999. Personally, I think disposable cameras are obsolete and that makes them cool again. Most people don’t do disposable cameras anymore because no one actually gets physical pictures and they’re kind of expensive now anyway. But the fact that they’re SO old school now (which makes me feel real old) makes them a novelty again. I kind of want to do this, to be honest….
MemberCan you even buy disposable cameras anymore?? I don’t think anyone would ever use them now, I think they were for the era before everyone had a quality camera in their cellphone. Go with the hashtag.
MemberI don’t think disposable cameras are worth the cost. The quality is almost always terrible, people probably won’t use them, and you’ll end up paying $10 per camera to develop them just to see if maybe there were one or two good photos.
That being said, I’ve also never actually used a wedding hashtag for my photos. Between the two though, I’d definitely pick hashtag.

MemberI had a friend that did disposable cameras a couple years ago. I think in the end, she didn’t even develop them because of the cost…. However, if you really want photos from guests, you’ll have to run the numbers and know your crowd. I don’t know a single person at my wedding who would have used a hashtag. They just aren’t into social media that much. So, if we had wanted guest pictures, it would have made more sense to do the cameras (if we thought it was worth the cost).
MemberThanks for your input everyone. I like the idea of giving the kids disposable cameras, so I might do that since there will be a few of them running around. I would like to go with a hashtag though for the majority of my guests since everyone uses their phones to take pictures. I just can’t think of any hashtags that I like! I’m usually pretty creative but when it comes to this I am totally lost lol.
MemberI also like the idea of a hashtag because its just fun. I can’t think of a good hashtag for myself but for you what about #Simpsonandcelebrate or #simpsonchampagneandcelebrate; like a play off of sip some champagne and celebrate.
A couple of other ones off the top of my head:
#simplysimpson
# happilyeversimpson
you could also do #yourlastnametosimpson

MemberI did both and if budget isn’t an issue go for the disposable cameras as it did cost a pretty penny to get them developed and not all the photos turned out. But we knew our wedding party would take some funny pictures and they did not dissapoint. We got all of our wedding party together about 6 months after our wedding and looked through the pictures on a projector at our house and we all relived the night and had a bunch of laughs. I know they aren’t the best quality but I like the retro feel!
MemberMy Future Brother-In-Law did dispoables at their wedding 4 years ago, and still havent gotten them developed lol. They went to do so and were SHOCKED at the price to develop them. So theyve been sitting in a corner in their basement for 4 years lol. Idk the exact price, but they had a large wedding and one on each table, so I assume it would add up.
I’d do a hashtag. I like #sweet(ly)Simpsons and I like the pps suggestion of #SimpsonChampagne
MemberDisposable cameras are a huge waste of money. They’re expensive to develop and the majority of the photos usually don’t turn out.
