My fiancé and I are planning a DIY-focused wedding with a balance between easygoing (what he wants) and chic and stylish (what I want), and are tying it all together with elements in lavender, sage, butter cream and chocolate.
About Mrs. Cola

Lots and lots of awesome photobooth props!

I really should have posted this back in early November, right after Halloween, but I just came across the box of props again last night. And I know there are a lot of newly engaged ladies out there who may have year long engagements, so keep this in mind: if you’re having a photobooth and want props, hit up the party stores the day after Halloween for fantastic deals. I got a ton of props and everything was 50-90% off! (And I’m guessing you might have similar success in the after Valentine’s Day and after St. Patrick’s Day sales, especially if you’re looking for props in pink, red or green.)

And here is all of my loot, which I got for a whooping $36 on sale!

What Can You Get For Cheap During The After Holiday Sales? :  wedding reception 13 1

(beards, sparkly and feathered hats, clown wig, rainbow mohawk wig, 3 feather boas, feather mardi gras masks, glasses with noses attached, a tiara, king’s crown)

What Can You Get For Cheap During The After Holiday Sales? :  wedding reception 22 2

(lots of leis, a coconut shell bikini top, clown noses, 4 mustaches*, and some pop up hats)

* The mustaches are the only thing not from the party stores, and not included in my $36 total. I got them from an Etsy seller for $5 each, since I didn’t feel like taking the time to make them myself.

I hope our guests will take entertaining pictures like these with the props in our DIY photobooth.

If you’re having a photobooth, will you be gathering fun props for your guests to use? And do you have any other tips for the hive on where to find great deals?

That’s awesome! I should have done this after Halloween, but I didn’t think we’d be using any props…but a few days ago FI mentioned that he’d like to have some - so I guess it’s a good thing that I still have until next Jan!

Yeah, I remember being given specific instructions about what I was supposed to scope out in the after Christmas sales. I wish I would have been so diligent in the follow through.

I love after-holiday sales. You got some serious loot!
I always pick up neat fake lashes after Halloween. Never know when you’ll feel like making a statement!

We were planning on buying white Christmas lights right after the holiday to put up on the patio for our home party and totally forgot! Good job on the bargain hunting! And in the second inspiration photo, those glasses made me giggle.
