on the wedding cards. what do u think? does it sound rude? or do ppl just want their privacy and not be splashed acrossed the social websites after they’ve got hitched?
wonderin whether i should put it on my cards… as there will b a professional photographer there…
Excellent idea 
People upload pics all over the place - I’ve seen a few couples that I know whose wedding pics are in the Bridal Pics thread on GS, so yeah it’s crazy. Again, excellent idea.
Re: no photography
There is no harm in you proclaiming that on your wedding card. As Straight_up mentioned, people's pics are all over the place, so to preserve your privacy you can mention that. I do not think anyone can be or should be offended. I mean if people can mention "No Children" on wedding cards then why not "No Photography"?
If later on anyone asks, tell them the professional photographer is for you and you can have control over who you show the pics of your wedding to.
my sister wrote "no photography of the bride please" on her invitations. She wears hijaab, so she didn't want her pictures floating on the internet, especially in this era of facebook :)
Re: no photography
i dont think it's rude...though i'd be pretty annoyed, if i get all dressed up and come to a wedding i want to take pictures, even if just of myself!
Re: no photography
Excellent topic!
I think it is a fantastic idea! I wouldn't have had the guts a few years back to write that on the wedding cards but now I wouldn't care what people thought. Lol!
Only those who wanted to bring their own cams' will be offended - but then it is those ppl who load them up on the web and pass the pics on! Even your own fam' members!
Trouble is, what do you do when family members start taking photos anyway?

I am sure its okay to take pics of yourself. :)
A few years back, my cousin got married. A family member took endless photos of all at all the events. Then he asked others (who also took pics using their digi cams') to share their photos with him, he loaded all the photos onto a CD and distributed these CDs to everyone in the family. He thought he was doing something nice.
Even though he was family, the bride was so upset as he should of at least asked her or told her about what he was doing. He could have deleted some of the close-ups and other horrible pics. It was a nasty thing to do...but he is a really nice guy and in his opinion there was no harm in what he did! But the pics on the CD were really bad and he should have deleted those.
Re: no photography
I completely understand the concern, but I still think it sounds a little rude.
Re: no photography
my friend's sister got married recently..... and everyone was taking pics of the couple and everyone. her saas didn't stop anyone... afterwards... she banned her to pass on her pics to even her cousins and close friends who couldn't make it to the shaadi. she got her to collect all pics from all around and banned those ppl to show the pics anyone. so those pics are just for her only. and her immediate family. (which i think is absurd)
in such cases... i think there is no problem in writting no photography.
Re: no photography
I dont mind ppl takin pics of themeselves- my fam wont take foto's when they can enjoy the day and let the photographer do what he's hired for, its just guests that u dont really know...
truthfully i think it wont stop ppl takin pics completely but ppl will take less pics of the couple...
Interesting idea, although it may be hard to police especially with mobile phone cameras. Some additional ideas for you:
At one wedding I went to they had a professional photographer near the entrance with a backdrop where families could have their pictures taken, and then later on they were sent that photo (or meant to be!). I guess you could have a similar thing were they can have a pic with the bride and groom and then send it to them with the thank you card.
At another wedding the hosts laid out disposable cameras on each table so the guests could take photos of each other, but then leave the cameras behind when leaving for the hosts to develop later. That way they can have the fun of taking photos, without them being digital and you get different views and perspectives of your wedding.
