Answers:
Use your own Big Screen TV.
Make a slideshow using a photo software then save it in a disc. PLay it with your DVD player and make them all watch it while eating.
At Sam's Club you can buy that Scrapbook Deluxe Software for $30. Using the PicturetoTV feature of the software you can upload all photos and add music to it. Then you got yourself a video slideshow of photos with music background.
You can then even keep that software and use it for somethin else.
My suggestion is u can display them from the beginning. preferable on a chart. A album would not suite the purpose
OR
you can put them on ur computer/ laptop and do a slide show presentation via a multimedia projector and screen. This can be presented after the cutting of the cake, and everyone is sitting down and eating.
I did a powerpoint presentation for a class I did it on my son's first year. It was great fun. scanning all the pictures, and You can burn it to a DVD and have it playing over and over on your TV. That way guests will all have a chance to watch it at different times, those who come later or have to leave wont miss out.
Add call outs and music and play with the way each screen comes up and pictures enter the page to had drama. Powerpoint is great. If you don't have it than you can go to a media place and they will do it for you I have no idea what it cost. If you have any computer savy kids in your family they could help too.
Have fun
