I really want a photobooth at our wedding. I also think that all sorts of props will be in order; I’m thinking hats, wigs, glasses, etc. I don’t know where I’ll find all this stuff, but maybe I can hit the costume stores right after Halloween? Can someone remind me of that plan? 
Images from BoothBooth
I think that it will be an opportunity to get a picture of everyone, even if maybe the photographer is not able to. Now here’s where I need your help!!
As a guest, would you be okay with having the photos as your “favor” from the wedding? I’m planning budget stuff here, so I’m curious. But, don’t want to offend our guests by not offering them another concrete favor.
Personally, I’d never be offended if I wasn’t offered a specific favor. I’d think a photo would be a great keepsake from the night.
Totally! I went to a wedding that had the photo booths with pics as favors, and they had these little snowflake picture holder things…the photos were definitley the best part! I think the snowflake is laying on its side on a windowsill in the kitchen that collects lots of random stuff like wine corks, coasters, and measuring spoons, while the pictures are displayed prominently on my bulletin board!
I am doing “Photobooth Favors” as a favor for my upcoming wedding. I really just love the idea and gets the guests involved. I also am putting a stick of rock candy at everyones place settings to tell them and remind them to take pictures.
I wouldnt worry about that. A lot of the time people forget to even take their favors off the table.
I wouldnt be offended at all! And FYI - I jsut got a bunch of props for ours from a halloween store and Michaels. Very affordable, but also check childrens stores. I got, like, groucho marx glasses (with the eyebrows, nose, and moustache) some boas, wigs, etc, all for under $!0 (wigs) and all else was under 5
Photos are actually a great favor! I think they’re both practical and fun.
personally I think it’s a great idea. We are doing that and a candy buffet, but to me it’s something fun that isn’t a knick knack and won’t collect dust. I found some big glasses and other things for props at the dollar store and joann’s fabrics.
Great!! I’m so glad!! I would like a photobooth picture favor, but didn’t want to assume that everyone else would.
We’re doing a smilebooth, and I’m totally psyched. I don’t think you need to do any other favor besides a photobooth. (Well, you don’t even have to do favors. There’s no rule on that. :p )
I think this is a great favor. How many times do you get a favor and think hum… what am I going to do with this. You know with a photo, especially of themselves, people are going to keep it and they will always remember your wedding because of it!
We’re doing a photobooth, with pics as favors too! I think they’re great, and all of my friends are really excited about it. Look around at photobooth places in your area, if you’re planning on hiring one. The one that we’re using comes with props, and an attendant to help people put their pics in our book (the booth prints off 2 sets of pictures, so we’re also doing a “Photo Guestbook”).
I think it’s the part of our wedding that I’m most excited about!
We actually are doing one as well… we have the option of renting one at our venue (installed, permanent) but it is $1500 for the night. I think we are going to go with the MAC version- some kid wrote a really cool program for MACs, and all we have to do is buy the paper. and hire some high school kid to push the button on the computer.
I definitely wouldn’t be offended, but I love having photos to stick around my house. Most favors I get at weddings just collect dust for a while and then eventually get thrown out.
That’s a great idea to hit the party stores…I noticed that they are already running sales!
I think it’s a great idea…I love photos and it’s something that’s actually useable! Plus, I think favors aren’t all that necessary anyway - a nice touch for sure but i would hope guests don’t expect a “concrete favor” just for checking yes on your response card.
Photobooths are so fun, our friend’s just had one at their wedding, and it was a hit. They had a sort of 40s themed wedding, so had old-timey hats and stuff.
I’m turning my photos into favors by making really cute matted frame type things for the pictures to be slipped into after they are printed.
photos of guests as their favors is the best idea. who wouldn’t want a great picture as a reminder of how much fun they had at your wedding??
We had a photobooth at our wedding and everyone LOVED it!
I got most of our props at a dollar store! In the kids section they had huge sunglasses, boas, giant bling necklaces, and my favorite, giant polar bear paw gloves! We added a few more things that were more than $1, but the whole basket probably cost us $20 total. It was a blast to see a bunch of our guests out on the dance floor in fake mustaches and feather boas.
