Best buys for disposable cameras including free processing?

Hi, Anybody got any ideas on where I can buy 10-20 single use cameras with processing as it seems to be quite expensive to buy the cameras then pay for processing afterwards? I'm hoping to get some for the tables at my wedding.

Thanks!:D

    I'd say not to bother in all honesty.

    Most of the time you're better off buying a load of blank cd's with self addressed envelopes and leaving these for your guests as most people will have a digital camera with them.

    I think disposables are a bit of a waste of money as most of the pictures turn out rubbish!

    If you still want them though they used to have some in the pound shop!

    i defo like the camera idea- i think boots, asda, or tesco may be the best?
    you can get little cards with instructions for the guests, and maybe even suggests of what you want each table to take pictures of
    i would rather the disposable camera idea, because everyone puts their pictures on facebook now a days, so you can just get them from there digitally

    Just found this. Get the same colour card matching your theme and then print them yourself. Maybe you could personalise them afterwards??

    I did CDs for the tables, I put them in bubble wrapped envelopes and put my address on with a stamp and I only got ONE back out of 50 which were taken. Complete waste of time - it annoyed me as my guests managed the time to upload pictures to Facebook when I wasn't keen on them doing so, but didn't manage the time to transfer them to a disk at no expense whatsoever. I made my own photo book with photos that everyone else had taken, I had to take them off Facebook instead of CDs which meant that the quality was disappointing.

    I just brought the plastic ones like these

    Then I will be printing the wordings I found on one I got my idea from, amounting it on card and putting the card inside with the CD

    I'll write down the wordings later (it's at home at present)
  • We're going to have the discs as well - thanks for the info on where to get them and the sleeves cheap!
    As we are not having a photographer i will be stressing to guests that we want the discs back! I know most of our close family and friends will return the discs, but I will be chasing them up if they post pictures on facebook without giving us a copy too! ;)
