Do disposable cameras at weddings actually get used by most guests?

Some do, but it's common for cameras to come back with unused exposures, wasted test shots, or to not make it back to the collection point at all.

How long does it take to get photos back from wedding disposable cameras?

Typically several weeks, since every roll needs to be collected, dropped off for development, and scanned before you can see any of the shots.

Is a QR code gallery more expensive than disposable cameras for a wedding?

Usually the opposite — a gallery has no per-camera or development cost, while disposables require buying multiple cameras and paying for film processing afterward.

Can I use both disposable cameras and a QR code gallery at my wedding?

Yes — many couples use disposables as a fun tabletop novelty while relying on a QR gallery to actually capture the bulk of the event in real time.
