Smile & Say “Wedding!” - Photo Booth Tips & Tricks

Smile & Say “Wedding!” - Photo Booth Tips & Tricks

From the classic curtained-booth that print black and white strips to the booth-free style that prints from a geo-tag or social hashtag, photo booths have become a mainstay at weddings. Not every couple chooses to have one, nor should you feel pressured to, but if you do there are a million and two (we counted) ways to make it exciting and fun.

If you hire a local photo booth company, you can likely also rent backdrops and props from them as well. If not, we happen to know a place where you can get all the DIY photo booth props you need and more. Love how this photo booth was set up? Go here, to see how to make it your own. If you are planning on providing props, this Photo Booth Prop Station is a good idea. Whether you are hiring a booth or making your own, here’s a list of supplies to get you started.

Photo Booth Backdrop:

Photo Booth Props:

 Instant Camera (optional)

  • No attendant needed, but somebody might need to see if film needs to be replaced.
  • Film is not generally an inexpensive purchase not can you monitor its use.
  • Guests take turns shooting each other. Shooting pictures of each other, that is!
  • Downside: You won't get copies of the photos!

Instant Printer (optional)

  • Prints from any smartphone.
  • Depending on brand, print can look like old school Polaroids or regular photos.
  • Guests may be required to download app to send image to printer.
  • Printer paper will need to be refilled by guests or attendant.

Wedding Hashtag

  • Create a unique hashtag for your wedding so you can see all photos guests upload to social media in one spot.
  • Create signage to place in key spots throughout your wedding to encourage guests to use your #weddinghashtag. You can place these hashtag table tent cards on each table so guests don't miss it.
  • This option allows you to print copies of your wedding crew and guests after the wedding.

You have just two months until "I Do"! The countdown is on! Bachelorette party, anyone? We’re also planning gift table and card box logistics and an epic send off toss after the wedding.
