You're going to want some professional photos of you and the bridal party, but try to keep your candids natural and not forced.

2. Put disposable cameras on every reception table and match them to your color theme.

You might get some weird photos of bugs and feet, but kids have the kind of imagination we adults don't. You'll get some really neat pics, we promise.

9. Pass a Polaroid camera around the reception floor and get your photos back at the end of the night.

10. Encourage guests to use a special Instagram tag.

Your guests are there because they love you! Have them write down advice for your marriage, future baby names, or just fun things about the bride and groom! It will be the perfect blend of sincere and hilarious.

Whatever you do, don't forget to enjoy your big day.
