Show Personalize thank-you notes with instant photos The wedding and the honeymoon are over and the newlyweds are settled into their new home, enjoying their wedding gifts. But lurking behind that scene is the task of thanking the givers of those gifts. An instant camera can be a big help in sending thank-you notes. Taking a picture of each wedding gift actually in use will personalize the thank you much more than a simple note. After all, there are only a certain number of ways to write, "Thank you for..." What's more, it can make the whole process more fun. The special thank you of a photo doesn't have to wait until after the wedding, either. Instant photos of members of the bridal party are wonderful mementos of the happy occasion that they can take with them. And relatives who live far aways can take back pictures of the wedding even before the professionally made photos are available. Technology is making instant prints much easier to mail. With Kodak's Kodamatic Trimprint instant color film, the bulky backing of the print can be stripped away, leaving a picture that looks like a traditional photograph. Instant prints can be trimmed to any size without worrying about leakage from developing chemicals, and they're thin enough to slip inside a letter or note card. Taking pictures is easy and fun. It's a good idea for the new husband and wife to take turns posing and shooting. Try to take pictures with the present actually being used - flowers being placed in a vase, a place setting at dinner, English muffins being placed in a toaster oven. For more static objects, like pictures on walls, try to show the role of the gift in the room's decor and have a person in the photo to add life and scale. |
