A wedding w/out a photobooth? The horror!! Anyone else going with no booth?

We did have one. People enjoyed it and still danced and socialized but our reception would have been great without it. Imo....totally not a must have. Your guests won't be disappointed

None for us. Our wedding location is pretty far from most of the companies that would do it, and we just don't have room in the budget. I like them but don't think it's a big deal. And FMIL kind of insinuated that she thought they were unnecessary so that helped with the decision hah

Your guests will be fine. A photobooth is not a necessary part of hosting.

I think you will be perfectly fine-

we are having one because its free, as a gift of a friend who owns one. Im also afraid that people will not get enough of it and crow around it- we are making it available for cocktail hour, then again when dance floor opens after eating.

None for us! No photo booth and no videographer. Gotta cut corners where we can and while the videographer was thought about, a photo booth never was. I've only been to one wedding that had one and it was a bad DIY one. Positive no one will miss it

I wish I could afford one buttt we can't. I don't think it's a nessesity. Just feed your guests, give them a place to sit and your pretty much good to go

We didn't have one. Nobody seemed to miss it not being there.

We aren't doing one either. We figure most people will be taking selfies anyway, and we hired a great photographer who will be there for most of the reception. I always use them if they are there, but I will agree that there is always a line, and I would rather have people dancing then taking photo booth pictures.

We're not having a photobooth, and I doubt any of our guests will care.

Ahhh these responses are making me feel a little more relieved. Not only do we not have the money in our budget (well, we have it, but we are buying a house too, and would rather put that money toward our house) - but there really isn't a lot of room at our venue for one. Our dancing will be held on the veranda (an enclosed porch) of the estate we are getting married at. The venue coordinator said photobooths are allowed, but because of space it would have to be put out on that veranda and according to specific measurements. In other words, it would have to be one of the smaller versions. Not worth it. I'm going to be confident that the reception will be just as fun w/out one. I have full confidence in the dj we hired.

I wouldn't worry about it. I think it's nice to have one, but I don't think anyone would upset if you didn't.

No photobooth here. I've been to two weddings with photobooths and at one, it was completely ignored and at the other it was used, but I personally just think they're silly.

We have one because it is going to double as a our guest book. I get copies of all the pictures too, so to me it is totally worth it because obviously the pro photographer cannot take pictures of everyone at the wedding and I absolutely want pictures of everyone who was there. On the other hand, they are not missed at weddings IMO. My FSIL had one - that YOU HAD TO PAY TO USE - ugh it was so tacky and no one used it because it was not like people carried cash and change to use the thing.

I hate photo booths. So we aren't doing one.

We're not...I was really surprised at how many vendors there were pushing these at the bridal shows I went to early on in planning. It would have never occurred to me to have one at a wedding. They were very expensive in our area too and I'd much rather allocate those funds to something else personally...but I guess it just depends on the couple. I can see where they'd be fun for some crowds though.

We are having one sort of, it's going to be our photographer's assistant (her daughter) with a second camera and a backdrop, so not an actual booth that prints out pictures on the spot. Those things are so expensive! We are only even having the one we are having because our photographer offered 2/3 extra items; 1 hour of extra coverage, photo booth, or a slideshow. We just didn't want the slideshow, so we went with the other two. If it weren't for it basically being included we wouldn't have had one. I don't think it is a necessity at all.

I was going to do one, more of a diy style one but I decided I didn't feel like dealing with more decor and spending money so we aren't doing it. I have only been to one wedding with a photo booth all of the other weddings have been great too

We didn't do one. Most weddings I've been too didn't have one. I'm not a big fan of them.

@Surfergirl86 I looked into DIY early on and it seems like more trouble than it is worth. And the cost of the backdrops are astronomical!!! I've seen the costs ranging from $100 - $200 just for a backdrop? Are they serious??!! I'm not that computer savvy to set up one of those webcam things to coordinate with a laptop and such and such. I'll have better things to worry about on that day besides setting up webcams, and I don't want to ask anyone to assist with it, I want everyone there to enjoy themselves without having to help out with something like that.

No for us also. We went with the candy buffet, and it was a hit.
