I love love love the idea of a wedding photobooth, but not necessarily the traditional type of booth. I have seen some great photos from my favorite photogs of the bride and groom and their guests in front of a gorgeous sheet.
Capturing your guests in a unique way is a must for our wedding. While I know I will love looking back at all of the pictures of Mr. AC and me, I also know seeing our guests having fun will be a real treasure.
Here is an example of a modern photobooth:
Currently I am loving these sheets from Urban Outfitters. I am thinking of buying one for our “modern photobooth”.
What are some unique ideas for jazzing up a photobooth?

What about cool fabrics from different cultures? Like sari fabric! I have no idea if that’s expensive…but it’s certainly pretty and colourful.
Also, Meg at 2000dollarwedding.com did a post with a link to a tutorial to make your own photobooth today: http://2000dollarwedding.com/2009/02/diy-how-to-make-photo-booth.html
@cbgg: Thank you so much CBGG for sharing the DIY tutorial!
I was at World Market the otherday looking at their tab top panel curtains…and thought they would be great for a backdrop of some sort. They are gorgeous and you just want to touch them! and very affordable!
oh i wish i had done something similiar to this! I love the patterns!
Props for sure! We had quite a few and they helped our guests loosen up 
Crazy-patterned bedding would look great — and be reusable after the wedding!
You should have some pillows as props in case guests, inspired by the backdrop, want to have on-camera pillow fights! 
@MagPie518: Such a cute idea! I love thinking about my guests having a pillow fight and getting great pics
So cute! I actually love the wide angles where you can see the sheet being hung up.. I think have multiple backgrounds would be a super fun touch!
I’ve been thinking that I would love to do a modern photo booth as well. I just love that look. Those sheets from urban would be perfect!
Such a cool idea! I’ve toyed with it myself. I’m focused on the props too… moustaches, big sunglasses, a few empty, ornate frames, etc.
Thanks for the UO tapestry/sheet idea!
I heart the idea of a modern photo booth like what Mrs. Avocado had! With the props! 
I am in love with the last print and think this is such a great idea! I have my heart set on photo booths for our wedding - but we are also on a tight budget. I think this would be a good compromise
oooh…and if you buy cool panel curtains you can put them up in your house!
I love photographer Joe Mikos’ take on the photobooth. He owns a fabulous vintage couch that he takes with him to weddings, and people pose on it for pictures. I have so much fun looking through the photos on his site:
This couple had a pretty rockin’ fabric-photobooth.

I have seen many more photos of this wedding in other places too, but I can’t remember where…
How great that you started this! I have been saving pictures as well for my own. We are doing this as our guestbook actually. Our guests are signing little scrapbook TAGS and getting their picture snapped in front of a backdrop which I will arrange in scrapbook from later on. Here are a few inspirations I have saved as well….
Love those sheets! We are doing a diy photobooth as well, so thanks for the tutorial
I am doing this same thing! I think it adds a rustic flair and is much cheaper! yeah!
I have been going back and forth if we should have a plain white sheet or something more colorful like you have pictured here. Since I already got a bunch of accessories (colorful feature boas, hats, lucha libre masks, etc.) I think we will probably go with a plain background.
I love the sheets! And that set up with the red sheet is fantastical!
We had Beyond the Booth at our wedding. They are a “Modern Photo Booth” and they did a fantasic job! Guest are still talking about how cool it was and how much fun they had with it. There website is http://www.beyondbooth.com
the sheets from urban are such a good idea. i also like the use props (glasses, masks, hats). balloons would be nice too
I love the modern photobooth idea and especially the one with the birds!
I love that last sheet! The idea of a photobooth definitely interests me, though I’m having trouble getting the FH on board! I think a book with fun questions for the guests to answer and then a place to attach their photobooth pic would be the best keepsake EVER.
nice idea! i really want a photobooth but don’t want to spend that much on it! i love this idea….
Great idea! I really want a photobooth but Mr. S thinks it’s a waste of money. This would be a definite compromise. Thanks!
I have been slowly collecting props….but havent found my backdrop yet, the UO ones are adorable! Right after mardi gras might be a good time to get masks for cheap…and i found a cheap place for fake mustaches: (love the names)

the empty ornate frames is a great idea kenziegirl!
These modern photobooths always seem to be such a hit! This is def on my list of things to do. I think I’m gonna add props like balloons and sparklers, and maybe even confetti to throw in the snapshot. That always looks amazing on film.
One of our more unusual prop ideas was cartoon speech and thought bubbles with a dry erase surface, so they can be erased between guests. Details on how we are making them are here: http://sites.google.com/site/2dbride/photography/diy-photobooth
