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

We aren't going to do one. It's just not in the budget and we would rather spend that money elsewhere.

We're not going to have one. We are going to have a giant sign painted that guests could take pictures of outside.

I think your guests will be fine with or without one!

Honestly, I really want to have a photobooth at our wedding. But with our budget and the neverending list of famly that seems to pop up our of the word works, "have you invited so-and-so? You mean, you didn't invite your dad's uncle's brother's sister's cousin?" Ugh...Our small wedding of 50 guests has turned into 90! I just can't fit it in. I think to compensate, I may just DIY some props and make a back drop and tell people in lieu of a photo booth, feel free to use the props and just instagram or wedpics your photos with our #hashtag.

I like the idea but it's not a necessity. Luckily my vendor is providing me with one as part of an incentive for booking them when I did but to be honest, as much as I would have liked one, I don't think I would have shelled out the money for it.

ETA: You mentioned it was your daughter's party? I think a wedding and party would be different but who knows? I think the age would make a difference too. With way more adults at a wedding than a kid's birthday party (I assume a kid because you look way too young to have an adult child), I think most would have fun with the photo booth but also know to drink/mingle/dance.

I think a photobooth is an added bonus ! Your reception would still be a reception without it !!

We are still deciding.. We are buying an instant camera for our guest book pictures instead of having guests sign a book that we won't ever look at again. So we are thinking of just buying a bunch of extra film (after finding it really cheap online) and letting people pass the camera around all night and snap pics like that!

We didn't have a photo booth, and I never wanted one. I think they are fun but overdone. Our wedding was last night (BAM coming once I get my pics!!) and guests were plenty entertained on the dance floor, at the bar and just socializing!

We aren't having one. It seems like it's a newer thing and I honestly don't see the point of it... We're hosting open bar, amazing music, great food.. OP, I'm you're sure hosting an amazing wedding too and I think guests will survive without a photo booth

Nope - not going to have one. I wanted one when we were starting to plan, but it just got to be too much. We have a photographer and everyone has a cell phone (and multiple people have their pro cameras, but we aren't asking them to shoot our wedding), so I know I'll have access to a lot of fun photos after the wedding. I'd bet the same will happen to you!

We are not having one either. I did however think about setting props on a table and if they wanted to use them and take their own photos with their phones/cameras they could.

I'm not having one. I personally hate them at weddings.

Not having one. Never wanted one. Never even knew it was a thing until I started planning. Personally, I don't see any need to encourage the already narcissistic trend of taking a billion selfies.

We aren't having one either. FH and I were at a wedding two years ago and that's where everyone was gathered so it was a turn off for him.

None for us. The idea holds little interest besides assuaging a narcissistic need that people have developed in the wake of social media. We're also having an unplugged ceremony.

I'm not saying they're not fun, but it's not for us. As you pointed out, I'd rather have people socialize outside of the photobooth. My photographer does a great job capturing candids of my guests, and I'd rather have those memories than a photobooth's any day of the week.

We're not having one. We never really had any interest in having one at our wedding!

We had a little section with twinkle lights and props for photos. It was the abSolute hit of our wedding.

I really want one, but they are so freakin expensive. It's going to depend on if I can work enough overtime between now and then to be able to comfortably afford it. If not, another bride (I think it was the other Lara) said she passed around her phone for people to take selfies, and I thought that was a genius and fun idea. I thought about blinging out a refurbished iPod and using it as the wedding selfie taker

Another nope over here! I just don't care for them.

I am having one but it's a very reasonable price and there's space in the cocktail lounge to put it that's right next to our reception area. Within my circle of friends, they're very popular and serve as a break from the dance floor.

Mother is paying for it (because she wanted one, not me so much.). I never even thought about people not dancing! I hope that doesn't happen to us!
