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

We aren't having one. We haven't even considered one, I don't think it's necessary. Your guests will be fine!

I think they're a lot of fun, but FH and I didn't even use the photobooth at the last wedding because we were so busy dancing and having a good time! We opted not to have one simply because we don't see the need- we want our guests to be out on the dance floor with us.

Yay for no photobooths! Feeling much more confident in this decision thanks everyone for your input.

Maybe 2 out of 10 of weddings I photograph have them.

You could set out a box with props on a small table, in case people taking selfies want to make their own photo booth experience - gather up some cheap props from Party City, like sparkly top hats, eye masks, a wig or two, and giant sunglasses. This will produce some fun and funny selfies you can enjoy, without the cost of a photo booth, and make small slips of paper "Don't forget to share your pics with us!" and either your email address or a photo website you set up for them to upload them later, so people can put one in their pocket and share them with you later.

I had a very private wedding, so no photobooth.

they aren't the sort of thing I would choose, but I do hear that people love them.

I was just talking about this last night to my husband. if you don't like them, then I wouldn't do it. but if you did decide you liked it and don't like the price tag, you can get a nice small camera and tripod, set it up with just some kind of back drop. Just a screen can work well. set it up with things that you would have at a rented photobook and do it that way.

setting up a camera with the timer IMO isn't really different than posing for a series of pictures in a photobooth. and you have a camera for your honeymoon

if you're worried people won't be able to work the camera, find someone that needs a job at the wedding to work the camera, or show people how to do it.

this is my idea if you feel you need to have the photo booth.

if you don't want it, then don't do it!

@Rebecca I saw that idea on WW months ago and tried to search it. The poster talked about doing just what you said. She had a table with a bunch of props and a really cute sign similar to what you are saying. I just may do that because I already have a lot of the props leftover from my daughter's party in April. That could make for a fun dance floor! People wearing silly things on the dance floor. Great idea.

Yep not doing one either. If anything I might make a backdrop for selfies (tule &Xmas lights on pvc, so it will be very cheap)

I never planned to do a photo booth, but lately am leaning towards doing a selfie wall. People love to take some damn selfies.

We're already at our max amount of people for our venue - I didn't even want to think about cramming a booth in there.. Plus- I always prefer the ones that are backdrops with a camera on a tripod over an actual booth, and Since our wedding is a huge open room I think it would be distracting. Sooo nope for us.

We are not doing one. No one will miss it. I actually always feel like it is something I HAVE to do when someone has one but never actually want to.

Im having one since I got a killer deal through my work, however I'd never side eye a wedding without one! They're in no way a requirement. At a shower I went to, a friend made a cute little backdrop on one wall for people to take selfies in front of, and that was just as big of a hit!

We were supposed to have one for free via my FH's friend...then things happened (long story). So, when we priced what it would cost to rent one from a vendor we decided it wasn't a cost we could justify in our budget. So we are just making some stick props, setting up some sort of background and having a sign with our hashtag as a sort of "selfie station". We even bought a selfie stick for people to use if they feel so inclined.

We aren't doing one either. I think it's something everyone feels like they have to have and not really a necessity. We decided against it because it's very been there done that and in my opinion, it's too expensive to be worth it.

No photobooth for us! A little but of an older crowd for us not thibking it would be enjoyed as much as some other surprises we have planned

No photo booth...Never even considered it until one of my recently married friend said that she loved it and it was where her best pics came from. I thing started to feel the pressure to have one and then all the pressure went away and I am happy with my choice of not having one.

We're not doing one cuz we know that would be the main focus rather than people mingling dancing etc

We arent doing one, but we are also have a laid back, causal wedding

We aren't doing one either, we both thought it was a waste of money given the fact that everyone has a camera with them now a days.

Not doing one. I've been to a few weddings that have them and have never used them. I think they're cheesy.
