Poems to go with disposable cameras at a wedding reception

(JenniferCMC-FL)

Note: All these poems used to be for putting with disposable cameras at your wedding reception. You can still buy disposable cameras but since so many people have smart phones I edited them to work for that. You could open a sharing site to make it easier for people to get the photos to you.

• Use your phone camera to have some fun,
  You'll make our album a special one!
  Snap away throughout the night,
  Then upload the files to our website!
• Take this camera and have some fun.
  Get some pictures of everyone!
  Maybe you'll see something we didn't see.
  That we can keep as a memory!
• The bride and groom have a request
  So put on a big smile and look your best.
  When you see some fun--take a hint!
  You snap the camera and we'll make the print.
