Disposable wedding cameras-Does anyone know where to find this one?

***UPDATE: We have heard it is not worth it at all to develop all of the cameras- as most of the pictures end up being poor quality.***

I would love to track down this camera if anyone knows where I can get it- or I will just DIY it with some pink/ blue/silver rhinestone details and our monogram. I figure I can just get cheap plain white disposable cameras and get some supplies from Michael's to put over top...

We are having 11 disposable cameras- one at each table. I know my photographer will do an excellent job of capturing the important moments, but I would also like to see the day from my guests' perspectives.

"Step1
Set a camera (or two, depending on your budget) on each table at the reception.
Step2
Print up small cards to set alongside the cameras. These cards should say something like "Please help us see our wedding reception through your eyes - snap a few pictures and then pass the camera around. Please leave this camera on the table and we'll take care of the rest!"
Step3
Appoint a person to collect the cameras before the reception winds down, or set a basket by the door for people to drop the used cameras into.
Step4
Encourage your friends to stand up and take snapshots of the other guests.
Step5
Be sure to explain that you'll be taking care of developing the photos - some guests might feel compelled to get the photos developed themselves.
Step6
Expect a few cameras to disappear. It happens. "

Don't...don't do it!

We bought (2) cameras for each table.

Total number of possible pictures (27) exposures each camera.

Summary: 621 possible pictures had 22% of them taken and most are poor quality.

Save the money and get a couple of your friends who have digital cameras snap for you all day.

Haha- that's EXACTLY what we have decided!
My mom told me everyone she talked to said it was not worth it.
Her and her friends are going to use their digital cameras :)
I am glad we knew this ahead of time!

Now, i have bought several for my guest. I don't know how they worked... but they pretty much go with my

FUN, FORMAL, AND FABULOUS theme. I bought them for my out of town guest.. so it's really not for taking candid shots at the reception. It's for style and their enjoyment in New Orleans. they are absolutely CHiC.. but I don't know if they work yet :) I guess I'll find out. Like i said they more for souvenir purposes.

I'm sorry I was typing so fast. The cameras are more for souvenir purposes than function. (Now that's better) I'm getting married in October so I'll see what everyone says.

I bought my cameras from

I saw posted on someone else's blog that they have decided to just give them to their BMs because they're sure they'll get great pictures from them. Then you only have to buy a few!
