Photo Booth - a Worthwhile Splurge or a Waste of Money??

I am thinking of having a photo booth at our wedding reception. I've looked it up online & it looks like it would really be a lot of fun for our guests. The guests would get the typical photo booth strip (remember the one's we took with our friends at the mall or the amusement park?) & the second strip would be placed in a keepsake book that the guests sign with a small message. It's $650 dollars and I am not sure if it is worth it or not. One of my friends went to a wedding recently with one & she said it was a blast and by the end of the night there was a line. Have any of you booked one for your wedding or been to a wedding with one? Help me decide!

I'm thinking ouf using one for mine. I was watching 4 weddings the other day, and they had a video booth. The couple actually made it thereself!!! That's what I really want. Our theme is paradise, and while the mood I'm setting is a tropica island my FH thinks of paradise as being with the people he loves. We get the best of both worlds with this.

A picture from our DIY photobooth. Yep, that's a dog under the glasses, nose, and mustache.

My daughter just got married in July 2010. She had a photo booth at her reception and everyone loved it. There was quite a line at the end of the reception with folks going back for the second and third times. My daughter had a keepsake book that you could write and draw in for the bride and groom. The booth was a big hit!

We were going to get a photobooth, but we found a company that offers a FLIP BOOK STATION instead and we're totally going to do that now! Its $1200 for 3 hours adn they print unlimited flip books for the guests, up to 50 an hour. So excited. FH went with me to a bridal show last weekend so we could see samples and he LOVES it!
