NYC Bee Party - DIY Photobooth

NYC Bee Party - DIY Photobooth

September 17th, 2009 @ 6:04 pm by Mrs. Bee

Updated!

This past weekend we had a Weddingbee party at my NYC apartment! Here is a little sneak peek at some of the DIY photobooth pictures!

I spy Mrs. Toucan as an evil king, Mrs. Cupcake as a clown, and Mrs. Avocado as a bachelorette/bride!

The Stars, Mrs. Candy Corn, and the Sushis. Mr. Star looks remarkably like Mr. Swan!

Mr. Penguin and Mr. Toucan drinking beers and wearing sombreros. The amount of alcohol consumed at this party was truly obscene!

Weddingbee PRO Kim/SIL Cupcake who helped throw this whole soiree together!

Anne from Perfect Bound and her hubby

Some of the Bee Men!

Quiche looking saucy

Mr. Candy Corn as a bear king.

The Taffys

Mrs. Toucan, Dahlia, and Canary

The Penguins!

Mrs. Quiche, Swan, D’orsay, Cupcake, Candy Corn and Sushi

Weddingbee PRO Cyd from Bella Figura and her friend

Mrs. Butterfly, Ant, and Martini

You can spot most of the bees that attended in this pic! Quiche, D’orsay, Canary, Pinot Noir, Taffy, Dahlia, Peony, Margarita, Bluebell, Toucan, Onion, Sushi, me, Swan, Cupcake, Penguin and Candy Corn. Bee galore!

To set up this photobooth, I purchased the following:

Remote release for my Canon xti Rebel ($20)
Tripod
Fabric from Purl Soho
Props: mini chalkboard, chalk, pitchfork, veil, bachelorette tiaras, big diamond ring, garter, clown wig, clown nose, chicken/bear/cat/cow noses, pirate’s sword/eye patch/earring, crown, gangster hat, witch hat, sombreros, feather boa, oversized sunglasses
DIY props - Bee handbands and Bee shutter shades

October is a great time to raid party supply stores for the best costume inventory, or you may want to wait until the after Halloween sales. DIY photobooths are inexpensive, easy, and always a hit! I think I’m going to have one at every party I throw from now on.

Stay tuned for lots more party pics to come!

You totally just broke the baby news to weddingbee! Ofcourse all of us who followed Avo to her personal blog know the excitng news…but I don’t think she has written a post on her telling everyone yet, has she??!

I wonder how many people are going to notice her little sign he-he-he3

Hurray for Baby Avocado!

I’m so embarrassed by that first picture, I actually wish I had been drinking so I could blame my ridiculousness on the alcohol. Now everyone knows that is how I am on a regular basis.

I’m bummed I missed out on the big group photo but the party was so fun.

And no worries about “outing” the baby Mr. Bee. I’ve found it feels a little awkward to be talking about it all the time when I’m not showing yet!

So sad I missed this party! The baby party I attended had no alcohol, no costumes, and no DIY booth….not even remotely close to the insanity you guys experienced, I’m sure! Can’t wait to see more pics!

it was really fun to meet the bees (bloggers and readers alike). mrs. and mr. bee put in a ton of work into this–balloons, huge sign with the weddingbee characters, food, drink, photobooth, cookie favors, nametags, calling cards, bee headbands, the list goes on. and let me tell you it was so great to walk up to bees and be like “i know you and all about your life. hi how are you?”
