    We were going to have cameras on the table but it's up to £30 for 10 plus developing so we have decided to ask guests to share them on Facebook or put them on disc for us so hopefully that will work :T

    We are providing a disc and stamped addressed envelope for people to do this. Think it will go on a table near the exit or something. People all have their own camera's anyway.

    Thanks. I think with the stamps, envelopes (got card CD case type ones) and stamps it works out just under £1 a disc.

    Do you have a link for the cases? Are you doing a case per family? We have about 100 people in the evening but would probably only need less than half that as people are coming in families/couples etc
    Thanks!
