Photo-Stripping at the Reception

Photo-Stripping at the Reception

May 16th, 2008 @ 11:03 am by Mrs. Candy Corn

Phew, the photo booth rental has officially been taken care of! Apart from the whole getting married and spending a day with our closest friends and family thing, this is the part that I’m most looking forward to! After dinner, there will be an attendant guiding guests to the photo booth, where they can take endless photos from 8-10pm. The fancy schmancy attendant takes the printout of the photos (the machine prints two 2×3 strips on one page), cuts one off for the guest, and places the other in our scrapbook so the guests can sign next to their photos and voila!

We are renting a photo booth from www.rentphotobooths.com, where it is costing us about $755 to have them set it up at 6pm, and open it up to our guests from 8-10pm.

Our fridge and proof of my love affair with photo booths:

Does anyone know where I can find unique & affordable photo booth albums/guestbooks? I’ve only ever seen the black guestbooks where the guests write in it with gel pens (for photo booth photos).

I’m interested to see what answers you get here, since we’re having a photo booth too and I’ve yet to get a guest book. I was thinking about getting one of those Kolo scrapbook thingies, but I’m not sure how well that would work.

i’m sure you can use whatever book tickles your fancy. i’m leaning towards a white paper book simply because then i can have tons of diferent colored pens which for some reason makes me really excited. lol.

but if i do, it’ll be a kolo album or something along that line. i see you can get one through your photobooth folks but it’s $95! that’s crazy talk.

A friend of mine wanted on-the-spot digital pictures from guests at her wedding (in two weeks). She’s renting a kiosk that collects all the guests’ digital pictures and makes a CD at the end of the night. (She liked it better than disposable cameras). I think it was called Canditto.

I initially bought a Kolo guestbook, but they have such limited colors. Since I am having an aqua wedding, I found this aqua CR Gibson guestbook. I am replacing the 12×12 white paper for black paper. http://www.crgibson.com/Default.aspx?Page=2&CategoryID=3&SubCategoryID=33&SubSubCategoryID=136&ProductID=S54-4806 The reason I am sticking with the black is that I don’t want to see dirty fingers on the white page! I will rely on my coordinator or someone to put each completed page back into the sheet protector as the pages get filled out. (Or at least let’s hope). We’re also doing a sample page for the older guests unfamiliar with this type of guestbook. So many are used to just signing their name and that’s it!

I went to a wedding last month where they had a photobooth, and it was AWESOME. The guest book was a regular scrap book — the attendant used double-stick tape to put the photos on the page and we signed with the pens the bride and groom provided. The attendant slipped each page into a clear protective sheet when it was full and put it back in the scrapbook. I looked through it the next day and didn’t see any dirty fingerprints, but maybe she had very clean guests Since they used a scrapbook, there was a lot of choice about what the cover looked like — plenty of opportunity to be creative!
