Photo Booth: Worth It? Or Skip?

View Quoted Comment Ooh, awesome that you were able to get the photo booth added for free!! Definitely worth it at that price!

View Quoted Comment Are you thinking you'll do a DIY photo booth? Or hiring one?

View Quoted Comment

I haven't made up my mind yet. I have a quote out there for hiring one and I am pricing out a DIY one. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

I had it at mine.

i love them whenever i'm a wedding guest.

I loved our photo booth and so did our guest! My parents tried talking us out of having one and I’m so glad I didn’t listen.

Our photobooth was a HUGE hit. However, that being said, my aunt and uncle offered to gift that to us. I would have not spared the extra expense on our own as we were on a tight budget. However if you CAN have one, people really love them. It was also a good because we got copies of all our guests who took photos, so i made an album out of them

We are doing a photo booth and got a really good deal on it! They are also providing customized prints. I think it is a good opportunity for everyone to have a take away memory from the wedding. If you’re thinking about doing away with the photo booth maybe a cartoonist which usually isn’t as expensive depending on the amount of hours. I think guest will also enjoy this as well. Good luck!

View Quoted Comment What I really like is the guests will get their pictures texted to them when they take them and I will get a copy of all of the pictures taken of everyone at the end of the night. I need to warn my teen that I’ll be seeing all the pics so he better take that into account when he gets his friends together to take pictures lolololol

It probably depends on the guests but at my brother's wedding (pre covid) just about everyone used it and some multiple times, some of those photos are absolutely priceless and hilarious. Not sure about all photo booth packages but the one they had the guests got a print out strip to take with them and the bride and groom got digital copies of all the photos. There were some amazing props too (not sure if people still do the props with covid).

View Quoted Comment Oh cool! Awesome that you had the option for video too, and that you got digital copies of all the photos! It's a good point to have someone in charge of making sure that the bride and groom use the photo booth too. My fiance and I are leaning towards adding one to our wedding, I'll have to make sure my day of coordinator reminds us to use it. Thank you for your input, it is helpful!

View Quoted Comment Totally agree that it should be in a space where it is visible to guests. Glad to hear that they're usually a big hit at weddings, I'm definitely leaning towards adding it to my wedding! Thank you for your input, it is helpful!

View Quoted Comment So many decisions! I'm sure you'll figure out which option is best for you, happy planning!

View Quoted Comment Awesome! Did most of the guests at your wedding use the photo booth? Did you get digital copies of all the photos?

View Quoted Comment

Yeah i got all the digital copies! a lot of people used the photobooth. and i got a pretty good price on it so i was happy overall.

View Quoted Comment Good to know that it was a big hit at your wedding! My fiance and I finally just added it to our wedding, and we're so excited! What were the reasons that your parents didn't think you should have one? Was it just the concern of cost?

View Quoted Comment Super kind of your aunt and uncle to cover the cost! It seems like photo booths are generally very popular at weddings, so based on everyone's feedback (and the decent pricing through one of our vendors), my fiance and I finally decided to add it on to our wedding. I love the idea of getting copies of all the photos, and that guests get their own copies too!

View Quoted Comment I agree that it's a great opportunity for people to take memories with them from the wedding! I personally love looking at photos, so I also love the idea of getting copies of everyone's photos for my fiance and I to have. Awesome that you got a great deal on the photo booth!

View Quoted Comment They said it would take away from the DJ and no one would dance which was not the case at all! It was a great mix of people dancing and using the photo booth. I also think photo booths really capture peoples silly moments at the wedding. We ended up with a lot of fun pictures in a album.

View Quoted Comment Absolutely! Best of luck Lisa!

View Quoted Comment Hahaha! I'm sure the photos of your teen and his friends will turn out fun lol. Awesome that everyone gets their photos texted to them!
