Short answer
Simple guest photo ideas include a selfie wall, a polaroid guest book, a photo booth with props, or a table camera challenge. Ask guests to take candid shots during drinks, speeches, and dancing. Keep prompts fun and easy to follow.
Guests often love taking photos but need a little direction. A selfie wall is easy: hang a decorated backdrop, add a sign with your hashtag, and let people snap away. A polaroid guest book is another simple idea. Set up a table with a camera, film, pens, and a blank book. Guests take a photo, stick it in, and write a message.
A photo booth with a few props like hats, glasses, and signs always works well. You can make it yourself with a curtain and a phone tripod. For a more playful option, give each table a disposable camera and ask them to capture the evening from their seats. Collect the cameras at the end and develop them later.
You can also ask guests to take candid shots during key moments, like the speeches, the first dance, or the cake cutting. Put a small card on each table listing a few prompts, such as "capture the laughter" or "find the best dancer". That way everyone knows what to do without being told twice.
